Ultrasonic body sculpting is a non-invasive, non-surgical way to reduce fat deposits in areas such as the chin, face, neck and under the bra line. These new ultrasound instruments are similar to traditional devices used by doctors to monitor pregnancies and other health issues. These new instruments, however, are able to concentrate high levels of ultrasound energy to precise locations on your body. Compared to traditional liposuction techniques, ultrasonic body sculpting is safe, painless and effective.
Ultrasonic body sculpting involves directing precise and powerful ultrasound energy at fat cells. Fat cells absorb this energy until they collapse. Since the healthy tissue isn’t affected, there is none of the swelling, bruising, soreness or nerve damage that can result from laser liposuction and traditional liposuction.
Keep in mind that ultrasonic body sculpting isn’t for everyone. If you have a body mass index of more than 30, ultrasound may need to be combined with other procedures such as laser liposuction for the best results. But if you have small areas of fat behind the knees, under the chin or in the breast region, ultrasonic body sculpting should be effective.
Wearing a liposuction recovery garment, also known as compression garments and girdles can help with maintaining the new shape of the body.
