How is the treatment done?
High-intensity ultrasound is used to destroy the middle and deep layers of fat. A conductive lubricant is applied, followed by pulsed, uniform, and multi-pass applications of ultrasound energy to destroy fat cells. Even distribution of fat shrinkage subsequently takes place over the next few months.
Generally, one package consists of one ultrasound session.
The treatment takes about two hours in an outpatient clinic setting.
Oral and/or inhalational anesthesia may be used.
What results may be expected?
1. 20% ~30% of fat shrinkage
2. skin tightening
3. skin smoothening
4. permanent skin fat destruction
5. body contouring

The results are seen in 3 months.
How long do the results last?
Combined with proper diet and exercise, results last years, with further treatments suggested for maintenance.
How to maintain or enhance my results?

Healthy eating and exercise are helpful to enhance results.
Further treatment may be recommended for further results.
What is the recovery like?
Recovery lasts one day.
Mild redness, moderate pinkness, soreness, and mild bruising are expected.
