How does UltraShape work?
UltraShape was developed in Israel and later owned by Syneron Candela, now called Candela. The US FDA cleared it in 2014 for reducing waist measurement. Its ultrasound is non-thermal: focused pulses create a mechanical effect at a set depth in the fat, leaving your skin, muscle and blood vessels untouched.
The broken fat cells release their contents, which your body clears naturally over the following weeks. In the trial behind the FDA clearance, three sessions two weeks apart took about 2.4 cm off the waist on average at 12 weeks, with weight almost unchanged. It reshapes your body; it isn’t weight loss.
Who shouldn’t have UltraShape?
It isn’t suitable during pregnancy, with a hernia, recent surgery or a metal or electronic implant in the area, or with broken or infected skin there. It doesn’t treat obesity or loose skin. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
UltraShape treatment, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor measures your waist and checks the fat can be pinched.
- Preparation: the area is marked and a layer of gel is applied.
- Treatment: the transducer glides over the tummy, taking up to an hour.
- Course: usually 3 sessions, 2 weeks apart.
- Results: your waist is measured again about 10 weeks after the course.
Results and recovery
A change can show within two weeks of a session, as your body clears the broken fat cells, and it builds with every visit. The full result shows about ten weeks after your last session. Eating well, drinking water and staying active help you keep it.
There is no downtime. Mild redness or tingling usually fades within hours, and bruising is uncommon. Your weight stays much the same, because the treatment changes your shape, not the scales.
Aftercare
- Normal activities and exercise the same day
- Drink plenty of water after each session
- Keep to a balanced diet through the course
- Any redness or tingling fades in hours
