ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY REMOVING FAT DEPOSITS
(Ultrasound Lipolysis)

This new technology employed in Proslimelt^TM* uses ultrasound waves to remove subcutaneous fat deposits to improve body shape.

The procedure involves moving an ultrasound hand-piece over the problem area eg fatty deposits on the hips or abdomen. The ultrasound wave passes through the skin and focuses on the deep subcutaneous fat layer where it acts to disrupt the fat cells, destroying them & causing them to release their contents. This is a specific mechanical effect called “cavitation” whereby low frequency ultrasound acts specifically on the fats cells alone. The contents of the destroyed fat cells are then released and carried by the lymph system to the liver for removal.

This low frequency ultrasound effect of destroying the fat cells does not raise the skin temperature, so there is no risk of burning the skin.

                  areas of treatment

Indications

Proslimelt^TM is suitable for areas of excess fat collections that are difficult to remove through diet and suitable exercise.  It is best for re-contouring small to medium sized problem areas.

It is not a weight loss or weight control procedure.

Typical areas treated are:

* Upper arms
* Hips/ buttocks
* Abdomen
* Thighs (saddle bags)
* Flanks (love handles) 
* Inner knees

How long is each treatment and how many treatments?

Typically one area takes 30- 45 minutes.
It is recommended 3- 5 sessions may be necessary to achieve best results.

Is it permanent?

Yes, as the released triglycerides and cellular waste are metabolized by the body. Provided you maintain a stable weight, the effect will be long term.

How can you help to get the best results?

It is recommended that you maintain a low fat diet and suitable exercise programme that, at least, maintains a stable weight.
Massaging and lymph drainage can also enhance results.
Remain well hydrated before and after the treatment for up to 4 days.

Any limitations?

Not all people will be good candidates. You will need to be assessed by the doctor to evaluate if the area of fat deposit, size and skin tone are suitable for this treatment.
