Liposonix: Hype or Reality?

Liposonix is a new FDA approved non-surgical and non-invasive procedure for the removal of unwanted fat. It uses high intensity focused ultrasound to permanently remove fat. After the procedure, most patients will notice results in about 3 months. The procedure takes about 1 hour in the office. There is no downtime and you can go back to work the same day!

Liposonix is an alternative to liposuction. It is not a weight loss procedure or replacement for healthy diet and exercise. The new liposonix is much better than the older version. There is a huge difference.

We use the Liposonix in our practice and have been good good results. The important thing to remember is that it is not a replacement for liposuction because it does not remove high volumes of fat. Liposonix is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).  Typically if takes about 3 months to see the maximum results.

I currently am the only plastic surgeon that offers Liposonix in Houston.  I believe in the HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) technology and I do think it works. I see it work in our patients.  I think it is head and shoulders above its competitors in the arena of nonsurgical body contouring.  We are seeing closer to 2 inches (5 cms) reduction at 8 - 12 weeks after the procedure. The treatment typically takes 1 hours; however, depending on the number of areas that are treatment it can be up to 1 1/2 hours.  I do not personally add new technologies to my practice that I do not "academically" evaluate.  I not only researched the liposonix quite a bit prior to purchasing the tecnology for my practice, but I also personally underwent a "demo" on myself - so I can say that it really does not hurt.  There is only minimal discomfort that I would consider mild.  I hope this helps!

I bought  Liposonix because I had a demo treatment on my abdomen a few months ago and I have seen real results.  The technology is amazing and I am a believer because of the results that I see on myself.  Since getting the system a couple of months ago, I did the treatment on my wife followed by an Ulthera treatment over her belly and the results have also been excellent.  

Liposonix technology uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound to target fat on the abdomen, waistline, flanks, love handles, and muffin top.  The use of Liposonix is geared toward non-surgical and non-invasive liporeduction of the fat without incisions and scars. Liposonix is revolutionary in its ability to recontour the mid torso and is used in my practice for body sculpting.   Patients who require body sculpting or reduction of fat along the mid torso can benefit from this fat melting device.
