Do you have excess body fat in areas where you don’t want it? You’re not alone. Even with a healthy diet and exercise, many people struggle to shed unwanted body fat. Some people even reach their goal weight, only to find they still have a few pockets of fat that won’t budge! At Balance MedSpa, we understand the frustration this situation can bring, which is why we’re so proud to offer UltraShape® Power, a non-invasive treatment to reduce body fat.
What Is UltraShape® Power?
UltraShape® Power is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused sound waves and ultrasonic energy to reduce body fat under the skin. The specialized, UltraShape Power tool allows your practitioner to control the depth of treatment, which helps them precisely eliminate fat in certain areas. Your other body tissues, such as muscle and skin, won’t be harmed by the treatment in any way. Studies have also shown that the treatment does not harm blood vessels, nerves, or connective tissue.
How Reliable Are the Results?
This is one reason why we like UltraShape Power so much: it’s incredibly reliable. Unlike some other fat-reduction treatments that work for some patients, UltraShape Power works for practically everyone. In one study, 94% of patients reported being happy with their results. That’s more than a passing grade; it’s a solid A!
Is UltraShape Power Safe?
Yes! UltraShape Power does not require any incisions, so you do not have to worry about a risk of infection or slow wound healing. The treatment has been cleared by the FDA, which gives even more confidence in its safety. Furthermore, your practitioner will use 3D treatment mapping and a tracking camera to ensure they are focusing the energy on just the right areas.
The treatment is so safe and so gentle that you can go right back to work afterwards. There’s no downtime required. So, many of our patients have this treatment on their lunch break, or even in the morning on their way to the office.
Will I Have Bruising?
While a lot of non-invasive treatments do cause minor bruising and swelling, UltraShape Power is an exception in this regard. The treatment area may be a little sore for a while, but there should be no noticeable, outward evidence that you had a fat reduction procedure. This may be why the treatment is so popular with models and fitness enthusiasts.
What Happens to the Body Fat?
UltraShape Power triggers your body’s own, natural systems to get rid of body fat. After the treatment, your body works to break down and clear the fat that was released from the body fat cells destroyed by the ultrasonic energy. Ultimately, the destroyed fat is excreted from your body via the same pathways that release body fat when you lose weight by other means. The “natural” mechanism of this approach appeals to many patients who want to avoid surgery and other more invasive measures.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
UltraShape Power can be used practically anywhere that you have unwanted body fat. We have lots of patients who receive this treatment for love handles and excess fat around their hips. We also use UltraShape Power for thighs, buttocks, and excess abdominal fat. With that being said, if you have unwanted fat in other areas, there is definitely still a chance we can treat it. You can schedule a consultation with our practitioners to learn whether you’re a good candidate or not.
Is UltraShape Power Better Than Diet and Exercise?
We don’t recommend UltraShape Power as a replacement for a healthy diet and exercise routine. Instead, we recommend it as a treatment for pockets of fat that have not responded to these more conventional, natural weight loss measures. There are other health benefits that come with a healthy diet and exercise routine, such as a reduced risk of heart attack and stroke. UltraShape Power, while safe, does not have those same benefits.
Since we want all of our patients to enjoy life-long health, we recommend you stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine and use UltraShape Power as a good supplement to that routine. If you continue to eat healthily and stay active after treatment, your results should last a lifetime.
At Balance MedSpa, we love helping our patients grow more confident in their appearance with the help of procedures like UltraShape Power. If you’d like to learn more about this treatment and whether it is right for you, schedule a consultation. We’ll be happy to answer any questions and address your concerns.
