Q: What is Lipo hifu?
A: The Lipo hifu treatment is a non-surgical, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy (HIFU) to permanently destroy fat cells.
Q: Does it work? What are the results?
A: Yes. In properly selected patients and with our proprietary treatment protocols, we see meaningful results in at least 90% of the treatments. While these results vary, both clinical studies and our experience have shown typical waistline reduction of about one dress or pant size (1 inch or 2.5 cm). Aesthetic outcomes have been very good for patients that have maintained a healthy lifestyle after the procedure.
Q: Who is a good candidate?
A: Patient selection is important: our clinical experience has been that Lipo hifu works best for active, healthy individuals who have at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of fat to lose in their abdomen or flanks. We find that patients who are close to their ideal weight have the best results. Lipo hifu can be performed on people of all skin colors.
Q: How long has Lipo hifu been available?
A: The Lipo hifu treatment has 10 years of research and testing behind its development. It has a well-defined safety profile during and after treatment with very good patient satisfaction. Treatments have been available in Europe, Japan and Canada for several years.
