Liposonix focused-ultrasound fat reduction

Liposonix is for a stubborn area of fat around the waist, not for weight loss. It suits people close to their goal weight who have a pocket of belly or flank fat that has not shifted with diet and exercise.

Liposonix

How it works

The device focuses ultrasound energy into the fat layer below the skin, heating the fat cells there until they are destroyed. The skin and muscle are left alone. Over the following weeks your body clears the damaged cells through its normal processes, and those cells do not come back.

What a course of treatment looks like

Usually a single one-hour treatment. Changes begin to show at around four weeks, with the final result at eight to twelve weeks. On average, waist measurement drops by about an inch.

Is it right for you?

Usually a good fit

  • Adults within an inch or two of their target waistline
  • At least an inch of pinchable fat on the abdomen or flanks
  • People in general good health who want to avoid liposuction

We may advise against it if you have

  • Weight loss. Liposonix contours an area. It does not reduce overall body weight.
  • Very little pinchable fat in the area
  • Pregnancy, or a hernia in the treatment area
  • Implanted electronic devices

This is general information. Your consultation covers your own health history before anything is booked.

Before and after your appointment

  1. 1We measure and photograph the area at the start so you can compare later.
  2. 2Expect some discomfort during treatment as the energy reaches the fat layer.
  3. 3The area may be red, tender or bruised for a few days.
  4. 4A stable weight keeps the result, because the treated cells are gone for good.

Common questions

Is Liposonix the same as liposuction?
No. Liposuction removes fat through incisions under anaesthetic. Liposonix destroys fat cells with focused ultrasound from outside the body. There are no incisions and no recovery time, and the change is smaller.
How is Liposonix different from HIFU skin tightening?
Both use focused ultrasound, but at different depths and settings. HIFU tightens skin and the tissue beneath it. Liposonix is set to destroy fat cells in the fat layer.
Can fat come back after Liposonix?
The destroyed cells do not return. The fat cells that remain can still grow if you gain weight, so keeping your weight stable protects the result.
