Ottawa Ultrashape

Non-invasive Fat Reduction & Body Contouring

• No surgery
• No incisions
• No injections
• No downtime
• No maintenance treatments

What is the UltraShape ™ Procedure?

The UltraShape procedure is a safe, non-invasive treatment that:

• Reduces unwanted fat deposits;
• Reduces body circumference;
• Improves body shape

The UltraShape™ procedure uses the first scientifically and clinically proven non-invasive focused ultrasound technology to breakdown unwanted fat

It is not a treatment for:

• Weight loss
• Obesity
• Skin laxity
• Cellulite

How does UltraShape™ work?

• Focused ultrasound energy is applied to the outer skin to target and selectively break down fat cells in the underlying fat layers
• Surrounding structures such as blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues are unharmed

What Happens To The Fat?

• The UltraShape technology targets and breaks down fat cells
• Once the fat cells are broken down the fat is safely cleared from the local area and processed by the body’s natural physiological and metabolic pathways
• Clinical studies and tens of thousands of patient treatments have shown no untoward effects from this natural fat clearance process

Am I a candidate for UltraShape™?

The ideal candidate:

• Reasonable expectations
• Normal to moderately overweight BMI (<29)
• Localized fat deposits
• At least 1.5 cm of fat thickness
• Willingness to comply with a healthy diet and exercise

Who is not a candidate for UltraShape™?

Patients with the following:

• Unrealistic expectations
• BMI > 30
• Less than 1.5 cm of subcutaneous fat in the treatment area
• High degree of skin laxity - UltraShape is not a skin tightening treatment thus excess skin laxity may not contract
• Non-compliant lifestyle - Patients not willing to maintain a healthy diet and exercise

What body areas can be treated?

• Abdomen
  
• Outer thighs (“saddle bags”)
  
• Flanks (“love handles”)
  

What can I expect during treatment?

• The UltraShape™ procedure is performed during a convenient, “walk-in, walk-out” session carried out in an office-based environment
• The procedure requires no anesthesia or sedation
• As a handheld device delivering pulsating focused ultrasound energy gently glides over the marked treatment area most patients report slight tingling, warmth or no sensation
• Vast majority of patients report a comfortable treatment experience
• The entire procedure is guided by a computerized real-time tracking and guidance system designed to deliver smooth, uniform body contouring results
• This system ensures complete and uniform energy delivery over the entire treatment area, thus minimizing the risk of contour irregularities, a potential side effect of liposuction

What can I expect after the treatment?

• After treatment, patients immediately resume their daily routines
• Patients should avoid weight gain to maximize results
• Healthy diet and exercise are strongly recommended

When can I expect to see results?

• A published clinical study showed that most circumference and fat thickness reduction is seen within the first 14 - 21 days after treatment
• 3 treatments at 30 day intervals are recommended for most patients to see optimal results
• Based on current clinical experience maximum results are seen about 30-90 days post final treatment

How many treatments will I need?

• Clinical studies have shown measurable durable circumference reduction after a single treatment in most patients
• Three treatments are recommended to achieve maximum results in most patients

Is the UltraShape™ procedure safe?

• The UltraShape procedure has an excellent safety record
• Tens of thousands of patient treatments have been safely performed worldwide
• We will strive to answer any of your questions or concerns at the time of consultation
