Liposonix in Minnesota

Liposonix is a revolutionary device in Minnesota that can reduce fat without surgery. Liposonix system uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy, which penetrates through the skin layers and into the targeted fat without harming skin or surrounding tissues.

The Liposonix non surgical treatment is unique because of its high-energy output and high frequency; creating an acoustic and thermal effect that permanently destroys the fat cells in the target areas. Also it has the unique ability to focus its energy at specific depths in the fat without damaging surrounding tissue.

For it to work properly, at least one inch of fat thickness is required. Although one inch reduction does not seem like a lot, a lot of patients in Minnesota having liposuction for specific areas do not have that much. On the other hand, Liposonix treatment is great for someone with a moderate amount of fat who does not want to undergo liposuction surgery or the downtime of it. With one or two Liposonix treatments, it may equal liposuction results. Liposonix works just as well if you have a lot of fat; the results with one treatment may not be as marked as with one liposuction treatment which does not have such limits. In such cases, another treatment with Liposonix after 3 months would yield additional benefits.

Another advantage of Liposonix, is that if you are not a good surgical candidate due to medical problems, such as diabetes, you are probably still a candidate for Liposonix.

Compared to the Liposonix treatment, low-energy systems such as laser or radio-frequency are not able to reach the fat located deep below the outer layers of skin. This is because the energy these systems use is reflected and absorbed by the skin. The Coolsculpt is not as effective as the Liposonix in removing the fat, and Coolsculpt doesn’t tighten the skin as the Liposonix does.

The Liposonix treatment is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, or a way to lose weight but allows you to get rid of fat that will not go away no matter how many exercise you do.

Shu Cosmetic Surgery is the pioneer practice in Minnesota to offer the Liposonix treatment which uses noninvasive, high-intensity focused ultrasound to permanently destroy targeted fat without surgery, which may leave you with a slimmer, more contoured waistline.
