Ultrashape Fat Reduction In Lewisville, TX

Using ultrasound energy, UltraShape is able to target fat cells, destroying them instantly, so patients can see visible results within two weeks. Because the ultrasound energy is pulsed and focused, UltraShape is able to target the fat cells mechanically, without heating them and without damaging surrounding tissue. The designated area is treated only once, ensuring a complete and uniform treatment. Once the fat cell membranes are disrupted, the content of the cells is transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver. The fat is then processed via the body’s natural mechanisms.

You should see results in as few as two weeks. Clinical results show:
•     Average reduction of 3.3 cm (1.3 inches)
•     Up to 6.3 cm (nearly 2.5 inches) after 3 treatments

The UltraShape system has been shown to be safe and effective for patients.
•     Cleared for abdominal circumference reduction 
•     Clinically demonstrated in multi-center controlled trials
•     10 peer-reviewed published articles and book chapters 
•     300,000 treatments have been performed worldwide

Most patients report a comfortable experience, and side effects are extremely rare. There are no post treatment lumps, bumps, soreness or numbness. UltraShape is also a no-downtime treatment, so you can resume your normal activities right away.

The clinically-proven UltraShape procedure is the most widely used non-invasive solution for fat destruction and body sculpting. It uses pulsed focused ultrasound to target and reduce unwanted localized fat deposits, reduce body circumference and improve body shape. The new system also uses integrated vacuum-assisted Radio-Frequency to enhance fat cell destruction, expedite fat clearance and tighten skin.

During the UltraShape procedure, the fat cells are destroyed. The fat cell content, primarily comprised of triglycerides, is broken down and transported to the liver. The fat is processed via the body’s natural mechanisms and turns into building blocks for energy.

The patented UltraShape technology uses a handheld ultrasonic transducer to deliver controlled pulsed focused ultrasound at a precise depth within the fat layer. The technology is selective, meaning that only fat cells are broken down and surrounding important structures such as blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue remain intact. The treatment area is marked and each point within that designated area is treated only once to ensure complete and uniform treatment.

After the UltraShape procedure, released contents of the broken-down fat cells are naturally cleared by the body over a 2-4 week period. Circumference and fat thickness reduction is usually seen within the first 14 – 28 days post treatment. Maximum results are seen about 28 days post the final treatment.

Patients usually report feeling light-to-moderate tingling or warmth in the treated area.

UltraShape uses pulsed focused ultrasound energy which selectively targets and destroys fat cells. Other ultrasound technology uses non-focused standard ultrasound which cannot break down fat cells. UltraShape is the only system in the world to use a unique real-time tracking and guidance system for 3D mapping of the body’s curvature to ensure complete and uniform energy delivery over the entire treatment area, minimizing the risk of contour irregularities, a common side effect of liposuction. Unlike many other non-invasive treatments UltraShape is scientifically and clinically proven safe and effective. It has more than 7 peer-reviewed publish articles and book chapters and has been widely tested by the world’s most prestigious doctors.

The UltraShape procedure uses pulsed focused ultrasound energy which selectively target and permanently destroys fat cells in the underlying fat layers. This is different from other non-invasive body contouring treatments, which may only enhance the lymphatic system activity to increase lymphatic drainage. Those treatments may only temporarily reduce the volume of the fat cells, not destroy and reduce the number of fat cells therefore the results are temporary and maintenance treatments are required. UltraShape destroys the fat cells in the focal area and increases blood circulation and lymphatic system activity to expedite the clearance of the liquefied fat. The results are long lasting.

Just as with liposuction, once fat cells are removed from the treatment area the results are expected to be long lasting, as long as you maintain your weight with a healthy diet and exercise.

Clinical results show that in three treatments, patients see an average of 4 cm reduction in circumference.. A three treatment regimen is recommended to achieve maximum results. As with any non-invasive procedure the results you see may differ from the clinical trial results and patient to patient.

The UltraShape treatment focuses on the abdomen, thighs (“saddle bags”) and flanks (“love handles”).

Body sculpting with UltraShape delivers measurable, long-lasting circumference reduction in target body areas, and provides the following benefits: Non-invasive – The procedure is totally non-invasive and reduces the fat thickness and circumference of the treated area with no incisions, cannulas, injections or needles. Safe – The focused ultrasound causes a mechanical (non-thermal) effect that selectively targets and breaks down only fat cells without affecting the surrounding blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. Effective – After three sessions, patients experience an average of 4 cm reduction in body circumference. These results have been proven in clinical studies and are demonstrated in the hundreds of thousands of treatments performed worldwide. The results you experience may vary. Comfort – The vast majority of people who have undergone the UltraShape body sculpting procedure report no discomfort. There is no anesthesia or sedation required. You simply lie on the bed and the technician guides a handheld device that delivers the focused ultrasound energy over your body.

The UltraShape treatment has been designed to help average to overweight men and women acquire an improved body shape and contour. It offers a non-surgical alternative to patients seeking effective reduction of localized fat deposits without surgery.

Extensive clinical trials and over 200,000 patient treatments performed worldwide have demonstrated the excellent safety profile of the UltraShape procedure.

It is the first and only FDA-cleared, non-invasive, body-shaping procedure that uses focused, pulsed ultrasound for selective fat destruction. The UltraShape procedure targets and instantly destroys stubborn fat, without discomfort or downtime.

UltraShape delivers ultrasound energy directly into the stubborn fat below your skin’s surface. Rapidly changing pressure waves create vapor cavities in the fat cells. This stresses the fat cell membranes, causing them to rupture—all while leaving the surrounding skin, nerves, and blood vessels unharmed.

The released fat contains mainly triglycerides. The body can carry away more triglycerides than the amount released with the UltraShape treatment. The triglycerides are broken down into glycerol and free fatty acids by natural fat metabolism pathways. The free fatty acids bind to albumin and are transported to the liver. The liver cannot distinguish between free fatty acids originating from the ruptured fat cells or those originating from a meal. They are then used by the body as building blocks or energy.

UltraShape is not for everyone. It is ideal for people with stubborn fat or genetically acquired problem areas. For best results, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise is recommended. It is not for significantly overweight people and it is not used as a method for weight loss. It is also not for people who do not have at least 1.5 cm of fat.

Yes. UltraShape is equally effective for both men and women.

The UltraShape treatment is safe. No abnormalities in lipid levels or liver function tests were observed during or after the studies, and liver ultrasounds showed no changes. It is also FDA cleared for selective, non-invasive fat destruction in the abdominal region. It has been shown to be safe in extensive clinical trials, and over 300,000 treatments have been performed worldwide.

No. It does not hurt and most patients find the treatments relaxing.

Typically, 3 treatments are done unless there is not enough fat left following an UltraShape treatment.

UltraShape treatments are performed once every 2-4 weeks.

No. Patients can resume their normal activities right after UltraShape.

After 3 weeks, the treated areas appear smaller and smooth, with no irregularities in texture or bumps.

Many people reported seeing results as early as 2 weeks after their first treatment, but you should expect to see the best results after a series of 3 treatments, 2 weeks apart

No, the fat will not recur unless the patient eats excessive calories, does not exercise, and gains weight.

No. Weight should remain constant. UltraShape will not cause weight loss.

Unlike other fat-reduction procedures, UltraShape does not use heat or freeze fat. UltraShape treatments are very comfortable and show no visible signs of treatment.

Absolutely. UltraShape is an FDA-approved method for non-surgical fat reduction and is considered safe when conducted by licensed, certified, and experienced professionals like those at Ultimate Image MedSpa. Our team follows stringent protocols to ensure patient safety. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, which your specialist will discuss with you during your consultation.

UltraShape is a virtually painless procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as akin to a warming massage. At Ultimate Image MedSpa, your comfort is our priority, and we ensure that your experience is as comfortable as possible.

The number of sessions required can vary based on individual body goals and the area being treated. On average, clients see optimal results after three treatments spaced two weeks apart. Your specialist at Ultimate Image MedSpa will create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.

UltraShape destroys fat cells in the targeted area, and these cells cannot regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can expand, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to keep your results long-lasting.

There’s typically no special preparation required before an UltraShape session. However, it’s a good idea to hydrate well before your appointment. If you have specific concerns, your specialist at Ultimate Image MedSpa will provide tailored advice during your consultation.

After an UltraShape session, you can typically return to your daily activities immediately with no downtime. You may notice a mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but these sensations are temporary and should subside within a few hours.
