I could initially pinch about 1.5 inches of fat on my belly for my first Liposonix treatment. It's now been 3 months and I can pinch only about an inch. If I pay for and get a second treatment using the same power settings and passes and area (everything the same), will I DEFINITELY loose the same amount of fat as the first time? If not, why not? Are there any studies done confirming that multiple treatments multiply your results?
Answer: Liposonix During the Liposonix treatment, fat cells are dissolved; the cell remnants are absorbed through the body’s natural metabolic pathways within the subsequent weeks. Because adults do not produce new fat cells, what has been removed cannot come back. Generally, patients see results 8 to 12 weeks after the Liposonix treatment.Some patients have reported seeing improvements even after the initial 12 week period.You certainly can have a second treatment but you should consult with your doctor to determine what results you can expect. Alternatively, you can also inquire about CoolSculpting, another, non-invasive treatment option to lose fat cell and contour your body.

Answer: Predicting Liposonix results
Because the results from Liposonix depend ultimately on the body's response to the treatment, there is inherent variability. Also, there is little data to go on for predicting response to a second treatment but if you can pinch an inch then it would be worth a try.

Answer: 2nd Liposonix Treatment If you can pinch an inch then you are an appropriate candidate for Liposonix. Liposonix uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound to destruct the fat; you can lose approximately 1 inch in 1 hour with 1 treatment. Liposonix does not however yield immediate results. The body has to naturally remove the treated fat, this generally takes 8-12 weeks to be completed. It is difficult to say whether or not you will get similar results with a 2nd treatment, but theoretically you should if you maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. Liposonix end results are dependent on what you do after your treatment. We are born with a certain number of fat cells; the cells that are destructed by a Liposonix treatment are permanently removed by your body. That being said you can expand the size of your remaining fat cells if you do not maintain a healthy diet and exercise program. I have seen patients treat an area and forego healthy diet and exercise, their results were not as successful. It is best to consult with a Board Certified Dermatologist to see what is best for you.

Answer: Second Liposonix Treatment There are never definitely's in medicine, to put it simply the body is just too complicated. But here are a few thoughts. It’s only been three months, you might even lose more from your first treatment by waiting at least another two months. Our patients have shown additional results with a second step treatment, but it’s never a promise. Don’t forget these treatments are not weight loss. It is very hard to do, but a little bit of weight loss the old fashioned way goes a long way to help your result with either CoolSculpting or Liposonix.
