UltraShape is a non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound to destroy fat cells without damaging your surrounding tissue or nerves. UltraShape is typically used in fighting fat in your stubborn fatty deposits such as saddle bags, belly fat, cellulite, and love handles. We all have them: places that simply don’t respond to stomach crunches, jogging, or dieting.

If you have a low pain threshold, you may be attracted to the fact that ultrasound energy emitted by the UltraShape device is considered pain free. Vibrations from the device may cause minimal discomfort. UltraShape patients also have the benefit of returning to their daily routine without downtime.

Does UltraShape work?

Yes, for those patients who regularly exercise, they will be able to burn off the breakdown products of the fat that the ultrashape produces. Ultrashape causes breakdown of fat into triglycerides and glycerol. The glycerol is excreted via urine and the triglycerides are burnt by the liver providing you perform regular physical activity. This is a body contouring porcedure not a weight loss procedure.

How does UltraShape work?

UltraShape claims that its fat reduction betters liposuction through superior technology. The UltraShape device is a hand-help unit the size of a hair dryer (called the transducer). The device is pressed against the unwanted fat region to deliver the ultrasound energy and to vibrate the tissue.

This targeting prevents damage to surrounding skin and tissue. UltraShape can only affect a small region of fat per treatment, thus, multiple sessions are required.

A competitor to Ultrashape is Smartlipo which uses lasers to break up and destroy fat cells.
