How common is it for patients to not see any results until AFTER seven weeks?

Liposonix is a safe treatment that uses intense focused
ultrasound energy to destroy targeted fat cells. Our patients report results between weeks 8
and 12. Results may not be visible to
the eye but patients report a reduction in waistline noticeable through a
better fit of clothing. Although most
patients are satisfied after one treatment, it is not uncommon to re-treat the
area for better results.

I tell patients not to expect results from Liposonix for at least 10 - 12 weeks, so that's when we do our follow up visit and remeasure/photograph/weigh.  At that time, we can treat again.  Although noninvasive fat reduction devices like Liposonix and Coolsculpting were initially marketed as one time treatments, we now recognize that most patients require several sessions to get the results they want.  So be patient and do follow up with your physician.

Many of the studies evaluating effectiveness of Liposonix
show maximal results measured at 12 weeks after treatment. Results are seen
well before that though in many cases.The short answer is you’ve still got some time to wait and see what your
final outcome from the first treatment will be.It’s also nice to compare pre and post photographs and
measurements.As mentioned previously,
the improvement is generally subtle and it is nice to have some hard evidence
regarding the improvement or lack thereof.
