What’s the Best Non-Invasive Body Contouring Procedure? 

If you need to lose that pesky belly pooch, muffin top, or love handles, you can do it without surgery, thanks to non-invasive body contouring!

The client demand for body sculpting procedures that offer less pain and downtime has grown in recent years, and so has the technology. With all of the new technologies that are now available, some patients pay have trouble deciding which non-invasive body contouring procedure is the best for them.

Non-invasive body contouring

There are now a variety of non-invasive devices that can slim those areas that can’t be eliminated with diet and exercise alone. Non-invasive body contouring treatments typically use laser, radiofrequency, or ultrasound energy to trim fat and sculpt the body.

Although these treatments are non-invasive there are potential risks, and these should be discussed with your physician prior to treatment.  You should also discuss the likely outcomes, so that you have realistic expectations going into the procedure.

Non-invasive body contouring is appropriate for individuals who are in good health and maintain a healthy lifestyle, but have small bulges of fat that they can’t seem to shake.

What’s the best non-invasive body contouring procedure?

The worth of a body contouring procedure must be determined by the efficiency of the technology, the recommendations from cosmetic and plastic surgeons, and of course the level of patient satisfaction.

One of the most impressive non-invasive technologies to hit the scene in recent years, is the state-of-the-art UltraShape Power.

UltraShape Power® Technology

UltraShape Power from Syneron Candela is an innovative body contouring device that reduces fat and sculpts the body at the same time. UltraShape Power uses proven ultrasound energy to sculpt the midsection, and is suitable for both men and women.

UltraShape Power is a versatile device that can treat areas of any size and shape. It is able to reduce treated fat cells by up to 32%, which is higher than similar technologies.

UltraShape Power features a hand-held transducer that emits focused pulsed ultrasound energy. The energy precisely targets unwanted fat, without damaging the surrounding structures beneath the skin. The acoustic waves of energy trigger pressure changes that disrupt the fat cells.  The fat in the cells which exists in the form of triglycerides is then released and subsequently broken down by the body, before finally being eliminated.

The results of extensive clinical studies carried out with UltraShape Power were very favorable, as no significant side-effects were reported. The technology was also safely used in Canada and Europe before being approved in the US.

It typically requires a series of three treatments spaced 2 weeks apart to achieve optimal results with UltraShape Power, but some improvement can be seen in as little as 2 weeks.

What are doctors saying about UltraShape Power?

Most doctors have good things to say about UltraShape Power, and agree that the procedure will work for the right candidate. However, they caution that UltraShape Power is designed to reduce fat, and is not meant for weight loss.

Doctors like the UltraShape Power because of its efficiency. It delivers fat reduction quickly by utilizing 20% more power than earlier models. It is also customizable, and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. The small transducer can be used in small areas that are not accessible to competitive devices.

They are therefore extremely satisfied that UltraShape gives them the results they want, because their clothes fit a lot better after treatment. The non-invasive device has a quick recovery time, and patients like the fact that they can go back to regular activities right away.

Treatment is virtually painless, and most patients are relaxed and comfortable throughout.

These are some of the reasons why UltraShape Power is considered the best non-invasive body contouring technology on the market.
