How does UltraShape slim the waist?
UltraShape aims non-thermal ultrasound pulses at a fixed depth in the fat layer. The pulses break fat cell walls mechanically while skin, muscle and nerves are spared, and your body clears the released fat over the next few weeks. The US FDA cleared it in 2014.
It targets the fat you can pinch; the deeper fat around the organs responds to diet and exercise instead. In a controlled study of 126 people, three sessions took 2.5–3.5 cm, about 1–1.4 inches, off the waist on average, with no change on the scales.
Who shouldn’t have UltraShape?
Wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding. UltraShape also isn’t for you if you have a hernia near the belly button, recent tummy surgery, an implant in the area, or a lot of weight to lose. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
Waist slimming, step by step
- Free consultation: at any of our 12 clinics, with a female doctor if you prefer.
- Preparation: your waist is measured, marked in sections and coated with gel.
- Treatment: the ultrasound head moves section by section, for up to an hour.
- Course: usually 3 sessions, about 2 weeks apart.
- Follow-up: a tape measure and photos about 10 weeks after the last session.
Waist results and recovery
Your body clears the treated fat over two to four weeks after each session, so your waist keeps shrinking through the course, and the full change shows about ten weeks after it. Studies averaged 2.5–4 cm off the waist; your own result depends on your starting shape.
There is no downtime, though the skin can be pink or tingle for a few hours. Staying active and eating well protect your new waistline, because the fat cells left behind can still grow.
