Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

Non-surgical fat reduction uses specialized equipment to create a controlled injury to small volumes of fat. If too much fat is damaged in any one area, there is a risk of scarring.

Currently, there are 2 types of devices used for non-surgical fat removal – ultrasound and cold energy, or cryolipolysis. Both allow outpatient fat treatment with no downtime and minimal to no discomfort. The most recognized ultrasound systems are Ultrashape and Liposonix. The cold energy treatment is called Zeltiq.
