Exercise and a balanced diet are essential for reducing overall weight, although they cannot address specific areas of stubborn fat. However, a range of effective solutions are available to help you achieve your desired figure. Prominent among them is UltraShape, a non-invasive procedure that utilizes ultrasound technology to destroy fat cells and contour the body. Not only does this procedure require little to no recovery time, but it also provides natural-looking results. Keep reading to find out if UltraShape could be your body-shaping solution.
How Does UltraShape Work?
Approved for use in the United States by the FDA in 2014, UltraShape technology has been proven effective by multiple independent studies of more than 850 patients. The UltraShape process stimulates the body’s natural physiological and metabolic weight-loss pathways to clear the triglycerides and detritus from dead fat cells. Although releasing this many triglycerides into the bloodstream at one time can cause liver complications, clinical trials have shown that UltraShape does not cause a significant amount of triglycerides to accumulate in the blood or liver.
What Happens During the UltraShape Procedure?
Using proprietary technology, UltraShape introduces ultrasound waves through the skin to contact fat cells in strategically targeted areas of the body. A medical professional uses a handheld device called an “ultrasonic transducer” to deliver ultrasound in controlled pulses that reach a precise depth within a patient’s layers of fat.
While the ultrasound waves produced by the UltraShape device have a devastating effect on unwanted fat cells, they don’t cause any damage to the vital cells surrounding them, leaving important structures such as blood vessels, nerve endings, and connective tissue intact.
Medical professionals prepare for the UltraShape procedure by marking the designated area to ensure full and uniform treatment. This makes it easy to apply the active ultrasonic transducer as prescribed.
While the fat cells break down under the force of ultrasound waves, patients commonly report feelings of mild tingling and warmth in the affected area. Patients typically see an appreciable fat reduction within two to four weeks as the body naturally rids itself of its destroyed fat cells.
