The aesthetic results can speak for themselves. Before & after photos show the artistically chiselled body contours that Athenix has produced. What the photos don’t evidently reveal, is the positive impact on emotional confidence and self image. After removing stubborn fat, patients may enjoy a newfound sense of self and increased satisfaction in their appearance. Buying new clothes may be fun again and a new, fresh lifestyle may follow this body transformation. How you feel about your body can ultimately impact how you feel about yourself. Micro-Body Contouring can enhance your silhouette and refine your figure without the harsh effects of traditional liposuction.The software guarantees adherence to a pre-determined treatment algorithm minimizing risk of contour irregularities, a common side effect of liposuction. The UltraShape procedure is performed during a convenient, "walk-in, walk-out" session carried out in an office-based environment; it requires no anesthesia or sedation, and the vast majority of patients report no pain or discomfort.
In the search for a less invasive take on traditional liposuction, Micro-Body Contouring offers itself as a superior method of gently and smoothly sculpting the contours of a client’s figure. At Athenix Body Institute, our specialists use advanced technology and the latest techniques such as VASER liposuction, to remove areas of stubborn body fat that even diet and exercise cannot wipe out.
5. You can resume your daily activities, three days after the treatment. However, it is important for you to take necessary precautions. 6. It is better to get all the necessary tests done prior to the treatment. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, this is not the right time to undergo the treatment.
What Are the Benefits? The main focus of Micro-Body Contouring is to achieve pleasing results all while being a pleasant experience. Treatment with the use of VASER lipo brings another benefit to the table. By gently dislodging the unwanted fat cells, soft tissues are left unharmed. What this means for patients is that they can take advantage of this technique and use it in conjunction with natural fat transfer to add volume to certain areas of the body, naturally and effectively. From the simplest cosmetic surgery to the most complex, there are risks.
CT scans taken in a subset of study subjects showed objective quantifiable fat thickness reduction. Photographic assessment, weight and circumferential measures were evaluated before and after each treatment and one month after the last treatment. Visual contour improvement was seen in over 85% of patients as assessed by an independent panel of physicians. Ninety-four percent (94%) of patients were satisfied with the procedure. In addition, there were no adverse events reported. “With the major shift in patient demand toward non-invasive, pain-free, no-downtime procedures UltraShape has become a core procedure offering in my aesthetic practice,” said Leal. “My clinical study demonstrated measurable circumference reduction and visual improvement in body contour in all patients.
Furthermore, part of the adipocytes content is metabolized by the liver and excreted in the urine so it is always recommended to drink plenty of water, both on the day of treatment and on the subsequent days as well. These treatments are performed in small, localized areas of the body but, although they may seem cosmetic, they are not without risks.
UltraShape has been a great experience for me, there was absolutely no downtime and no pain associated with the treatments. At times the machine did get a little hot but I simply told my technician and she moved from the area that was being treated. My treatments had a duration that ranged from 25 - 35 minutes although the times vary depending on the individual.
