Ever wondered how some celebrities have toned, washboard
abs? Of course a strict diet, intense personal trainer and hours of working out
helps them maintain a solid body—but some celebrities also sneak in
non-surgical (and surgical) liposuction treatments.
Jessica Alba, who has been
repeatedly named one of the hottest celebrities on several magazine lists, had non-surgical liposuction treatments a few years ago. She reportedly underwent these
treatments to get rid of stubborn fat on her thighs and abdomen. Even though
Jessica is one of the fittest celebs in Hollywood, she still has some body
gripes like the rest of us.
One of the most effective non-surgical liposuction
treatments right now is called UltraShape. Find out what the most common
questions are and if the treatments sound right for you and your goals.

What is UltraShape?
UltraShape is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that
uses ultrasound waves to target and implode fat cells in areas of unwanted fat.
After your physician applies a thin layer of ultrasound gel
on this area, they move the UltraShape hand-held device across the area of
treatment. This device focuses on the superficial, middle and deeper layers of
fat. Common areas of treatment include: the abdomen, thighs, hips and arms.
What results will you
see?
You’ll see a reduction of three centimeters of fat after
three treatments.
How long does it take
to complete all UltraShape treatments?
Each treatment takes about 30 minutes to complete. Usually
three UltraShape sessions are needed to complete the program. Each treatment is
performed once every two weeks. That means you’ll finish all treatments after
six weeks.
Who’s the ideal
candidate for UltraShape?
UltraShape is right for you if you want to see a small but
noticeable and permanent reduction of fat without going under the knife. If you’re
actively trying to trim up and you’re close to your goal weight, UltraShape treatments
can help reduce your stubborn fat. After 3 treatments, you can see 3 centimeters
of fat reduction. If you have really loose skin and a lot of fat that you want
gone, liposuction procedures like SmartLipo or BodyTite may be the better
option if you want more dramatic results.
Patients who are pregnant or have any skin infections on the
area of treatment are not suited for UltraShape treatments.
Are the results
permanent?
Yes they are. The fat cells that have been destroyed don’t return, as long as
you maintain your weight after treatments. If you do gain weight later on, the
fat will accumulate in other areas of your body instead of the treated areas.
Is UltraShape
painful? Will I need to set aside time to recover after treatment?
UltraShape treatments are painless. There’s no need for
anesthesia when you come in for treatment. You don’t have to take time off work
or regular activities to recover unlike surgical procedures.
How much does it
cost?
The cost will vary at each clinic. On average, each
treatment can cost $750-$1,200 depending where you go.
