More about UltraShape
Body shaping is sometimes called “liposculpture” (lipos translated from Greek – fat), and some methods of hardware cosmetology – “non-surgical liposuction.”
The UltraShape concept, developed by Israeli plastic surgeons and scientists for medical needs, is based on the innovative use of ultrasonic waves to selectively destroy fat cells without damaging adjacent tissues. Ultrasonic cavitation liposuction allows, in the shortest possible time (2-6 weeks), comfortably, without surgery, without the use of anesthesia, to achieve the perfection of the contours of your body in those areas that are usually called “problematic” and often uncorrected: on the waist, hips, abdomen, remove “saddlebags.”
Ultrasonic liposuction UltraShape reduces the volume of adipose tissue of those parts of the body that are not amenable to exercise, diet, traditional methods of physiotherapy, while the decrease in volume is noticeable after the first procedure (about 2 cm). After a course of procedures, the decrease in the body volume reaches 12 cm, depending on the individual characteristics of the organism. And most importantly – ultrasonic liposuction allows removing adipose tissue forever!
The principle of operation of UltraShape consists in the destruction of fat cells using ultrasound, as a result of which the fat emulsion is independently excreted by the liver from the body within a few days.
With ultrasonic liposuction, there is no harmful effect on the skin, muscles, nerves and blood vessels.
UltraShape uses scientifically proven ultrasound technology to remove body fat.
The destruction of fat by ultrasound occurs without anesthesia, since the procedure is absolutely painless – during the manipulation, only pleasant warmth and light tingling are felt.
To achieve the maximum effect, it is recommended to carry out 3 procedures with an interval of several weeks.
The advantages of the technique:
∙ The procedure does not require rehabilitation time
∙ Painlessness
∙ The result is visible immediately
∙ Guaranteed long-term effect: destroyed cells are not restored
∙ Lack of side cosmetic effects
∙ Duration of the procedure – 70-90 minutes
∙ Ability to treat different parts of the body: abdomen, thighs, “saddlebags,” knees
∙ Guaranteed efficiency and safety
VELASHAPE is another innovative body shaping technique paired with UltraShape for amazing results!
The system allows to selectively act on the areas of laxity and irregularities, that is, on what we call cellulite, to tighten and reduce the body volume up to 2-6 cm! As a result, the skin becomes firm and smoother, and the body contours are more defined.
The technology is based on vacuum-roller massage, infrared heat and radiofrequency lifting.
