The new research published on the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery (September 2013, Vol. 30, No. 3) suggested Liposonix is more effective than CoolSculpting.
This is the first split-site study comparing HIFU (Liposonix) or cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting). Eight female patients with subcutaneous adipose tissue localized to the bilateral flanks were randomized to a single treatment with either HIFU (Liposonix) or cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) to each flank. Weight and widest-point waist circumference were recorded at baseline and at 4 monthly follow-up visits.
Results and Discussion: Although both HIFU (Liposonix) or cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) led to modest reductions in localized flank subcutaneous adipose tissue, there was a trend toward greater improvement in the HIFU (Liposonix) treatment group.
