Liposonix

We will determine your suitability for treatment. We may also recommend additional body-enhancing and skin tightening treatments to help you attain the best possible results.

During the treatment, the practitioner will hold the Liposonix head over the area of concern as the HIFU targets and destroys fat in a predictable and even way. The practitioner will continue with this process to treat all areas of concern.

The ideal candidate for this treatment can ‘pinch an inch’ of fat in the area of concern. Your practitioner can determine your suitability and may suggest alternative treatments to improve your skin quality, tone and shape. You should be as close to your ideal body weight as possible.

You can expect to see results after just one treatment that continue to improve over three or so months. It’s during this time that the body metabolises and flushes out the fat.

Liposonix takes 30-60 minutes.

• Swelling
• Tenderness

Liposonix delivers high-intensity ultrasound waves to breakdown and disrupt fat cells. The ultrasound energy specifically targets and eliminates fat, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

Your body stores two types of fat: visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. ‘Visceral’ fat is found around your organs and feels firm to touch. Visceral fat is the type of fat that raises blood pressure and increases your risk of diabetes. It’s usually easier to burn this type of fat due to its location.

The treatment works by targeting ‘subcutaneous fat’. This type of fat is harder to get rid of through diet and exercise. Subcutaneous fat is squishy and pinchable, and that’s why we suggest that if you can ‘pinch an inch’ of this fat, you’d be a good candidate for treatment.
After destroying the fat tissue, the liver naturally processes it. Over time, the area will contract, leaving you with a flatter and firmer stomach and waistline.

The destruction of fat cells means that there will be no redistribution of fat. The fat cannot return to the treatment area as those cells no longer exist. We recommend that you maintain your results with a healthy diet and exercise.

Downtime is minimal, but you may experience some bruising, swelling and soreness which should subside within 1-2 weeks after your treatment.

Liposonix requires just one treatment session. However, a patient may wish to have a second session to enhance results.

The treatment may be a little uncomfortable, but most patients usually find it tolerable. Your practitioner will recommend pain medication to help you manage.
