ULTRASHAPE V3 – SURGERY WITHOUT THE SCALPEL

1. HOW DOES ULTRASHAPE WORK?

Physical exercises, slimming diets, anti-cellulite creams… often the efforts pay off but unfortunately they are not visible enough on the little bulges, fat rolls and other dimples. We would like to introduce you to a technique with a bright future: ULTRASHAPE.

Fat and cellulite

There are two layers of fat under the skin:

• The superficial fat responsible for the dimpled appearance of orange peel skin and
• The deep fat, close to the muscles, responsible for the volumes.
• The normal thickness of the fat layer is between 3 and 6 mm.

When cellulite is present, it can increase up to 30 mm.

ULtrashape V3 Real surgery without the scalpel

Ultrashape V3 is the first non-invasive treatment that effectively and painlessly destroys fat cells through the action of focused ultrasound.

Based on the safe and effective therapeutic ultrasound technology that has been used for many years in the destruction of kidney stones, UltraShape has revolutionised the application of this technology by adapting it to the field of body contouring.

The technology allows for the selective laser removal of superficial subcutaneous fat without damaging the surrounding tissue.

The ruptured fat is directed to the liver and evacuated through the normal physiological pathways of the body, in the same way as the fat contained in food.

How it works?

This intelligent technology is based on two technological innovations:

1 . Selective ultrasound that eliminates fat

The Ultrashape technique applies focused therapeutic ultrasound to the subcutaneous fat layer. The focused nodes concentrate a predetermined amount of energy on the targeted fat cells, located 1.5cm deep. The focused wave causes a mechanical effect that breaks down the fat cells, without affecting neighbouring tissues such as nerves and blood vessels, without thermal heating and without risk of burning.

2. A 3D tracking and guidance system

Precision and safety are enhanced by an optical tracking and guidance system that ensures accurate treatment.

Using a single camera, the treatment area is captured by the computer system. Advanced software is used to plot the treatment area in 3D.

The system then determines in real time the fat nodes that need to be treated and that no diet can remove. The tracking system ensures that each area is treated only once. This ensures optimal effectiveness through consistency of treatment. The system registers and synchronises the body position in real time, allowing the patient to move freely and allowing him/her to stand up in the middle of the treatment.

2. WHO CAN USE ULTRASHAPE AND WHY?

2.1 Why use Ultrashape technology?

The main reasons for using this treatment are

• I have been dieting and have regained my weight but I can’t seem to get a flat stomach.
• I keep exercising but I still have saddlebags.
• I gave birth a few months ago and I haven’t lost any weight around my belly button

2.2 For whom?

For all women and men. For a long time, cosmetic surgery with UltraShape was considered to be the exclusive domain of women, but now many men are considering it.

• For those who fear a heavy procedure and who consider surgery too early or too aggressive.
• For those who do not want surgery.
• For people of “normal” weight or slightly overweight (BMI <29). The thickness of the fat should be between 1.5 and 3cm.

CAUTION: you are not a good candidate :

• if you are pregnant
• if you have a pace maker
• if you have an abdominal hernia
• if you have liver disease including normal fat metabolism,
• if you are under 18 years of age,
• if you have depressed scars in the treated area,
• if you are obese
• or if your fat layer is not large enough.

2.3 A typical Ultrashape session

Here is the classic sequence of a session:

1. In consultation, the practitioner defines the areas to be treated, takes measurements and photographs.
2. A gel is applied to the whole area to be treated, for men, this area can be depilated as abundant pilosity can hinder the effectiveness of the treatment.
3. The computerised guidance system calculates a 3D matrix of the area indicating the number of nodes to be treated. It records and synchronises the position of the body in real time, allowing movement during the treatment.
4. Comfortably seated on the treatment table, the patient can observe the control screen and follow the treatment progress in real time.
5. The practitioner slides the transducer over the target area delivering short pulses of focused ultrasound.
6. The practitioner repeats the process over the area to break up a layer of subcutaneous fatty tissue.
7. The body immediately begins the process of evacuating the lysed adiposytes through normal physiological pathways, as after a fatty meal.
8. Once the session is over, the patient can resume normal daily activities.
9. 3 treatments in one month’s time are necessary to obtain a satisfactory result in the area.

2.4 Successful protocol followed by the practitioner

For an optimal result: 3 sessions are necessary at one month intervals.

It is also important to eat lightly before the treatment, in order not to clog the liver, and to drink plenty of water.

During the 10 days following the treatment, it is advisable to respect the rules of dietary and physical hygiene.

Note: the majority of patients did not feel any pain.

3. EXPECTED RESULTS AND EFFECTIVENESS

The body is refined and the results are apparent within 28 days after the first session. Unsightly bulges are erased. The fatty layers are permanently eliminated.

The safety and effectiveness of the UltraShape solution is scientifically proven by the results of a series of global multi-centre clinical trials on hundreds of patients worldwide. More than 14,000 UltraShape treatments have been administered in 150 facilities in 35 countries around the world. The UltraShape treatment received CE approval in July 2005.

3.1 Results

Within the first few days of treatment, there is a clear reduction in the volume of the treated area. It should be noted that we are talking about a significant loss of volume but not necessarily a loss of weight (measurable reduction in circumference and fat mass). An average reduction of 2 cm in circumference after a single treatment is usually observed.

3.2 Permanent results or recurrence?

Grâce à ULTRASHAPE, les couches graisseuses ciblées sont complètement et définitivement éliminées .néanmoins, il est important d’associer le traitement à une hygiène de vie équilibrée. En effet, si l’on conserve son mode de vie initiale, il n’y a pas de raison que la graisse ne se réforme pas. ULTRASHAPE est le coup de pouce qu’il fallait pour retrouver un corps remodelé mais c’est à vous de l’entretenir et de repartir sur ces nouvelles bases saines.

4.COMMON QUESTIONS

What areas can you treat?

The stomach, saddlebags, waist, inner thighs and knees.

Is there an age limit?

Yes, you have to be over 18 to benefit from the ULTRASHAPE treatment.

Is there a weight limit?

Yes, ULTRASHAPE does not work on people who are too thin or obese. The thickness of the fat to be removed must be between 1.5 and 3cm.

What are the after-effects?

None, except for a balanced lifestyle.

Is it really safe?

The results of multi-centre clinical trials carried out on hundreds of patients throughout the world have demonstrated the safety of the treatment. Focused ultrasound will concentrate mechanical energy to a specific depth of 15mm under the skin, preventing damage to surrounding tissue (blood vessels, nerves, muscles…)

The destroyed fat will be evacuated by natural physiological processes via the liver, in the same way as for the fat contained in food.

What happens to the fat cells and triglycerides after the treatment?

Selective lysis of fat cells is achieved without causing damage to the surrounding blood vessels and nerves. Triglycerides from the destroyed fat cells are released into the interstitial fluid and are gradually transported through the vascular system to the liver. The liver does not distinguish between fat from the destroyed adipocytes and fat from the diet. The cellular debris is destroyed by physiological pathways.

What are the advantages and disadvantages compared to liposuction?

With ultrasound, the amount of fat destroyed in one session is less. It is therefore recommended to have 3 to 4 sessions. But the results are there! The safety / efficiency ratio is maximum.

Which treatments really destroy fat?

Ultrashape is the first non-invasive body contouring solution that really destroys fat. Until now, this was only possible by means of lipo-aspiration, which is a surgical procedure.

What is the difference between focused and unfocused ultrasound?

UltraShape technology is based on therapeutic ultrasound but what makes it unique is the use of a beam of ultrasound (“focused”) capable of targeting specific areas of fat deep under the skin.

How long does a session last?

The operation lasts between 45 minutes and 1h30 depending on the area to be treated.
