Talk about next-wave technology. UltraShape ultrasound energy destroys the walls of fat cells in your body, releasing the fat in the form of triglycerides. The triglycerides are then processed through the liver and eliminated from the body naturally. The surrounding tissue, nerves, and muscle are left unharmed.

The UltraShape procedure is a pleasant, relaxing experience. It’s nonsurgical, so there are no incisions or anesthetics.

After you and your physician determine the exact treatment area, a specially designed belt will be wrapped around your abdomen and a soothing gel will be applied onto your skin. A trained UltraShape technician will glide the UltraShape transducer over the treatment area, gently delivering painless ultrasound pulses. Treatments take an hour or less, so you can take it easy, while UltraShape takes care of your excess fat.

There are two major types of fat in your body: visceral (fat that forms around your organs) and subcutaneous (fat that forms under the surface of your skin).

While eating right and working out can help reduce visceral fat, subcutaneous fat can be difficult to lose. UltraShape targets and eliminates stubborn (subcutaneous) belly fat that’s resistant to diet and exercise.

UltraShape was developed by an internationally renowned plastic surgeon and a physicist specializing in the use of high-power ultrasound to destroy blood clots. Who knew it would someday be used to destroy belly fat?

Over 300,000 UltraShape procedures have been performed in over 50 countries. That number is only increasing, while waists the world over are decreasing.
