Lucia longs to learn: I’ve heard about a method called UltraShape, which claims it can literally melt fat with ultrasound without affecting surrounding tissues. The best part is, you can melt a pound of fat without anesthesia and then go right away to your daily routine. Is that possible? How can they make sure they are not burning other tissues? Is it available in the US?
The Left Brain responds:
UltraShape is a type of non-invasive body contouring that uses focused ultrasound waves to melt away body fat without an incision. Each treatment takes about an hour and you can go right back to work after the session. The FDA is expected to approve UltraShape for use in the US in 2007 but at the time of this writing, I couldn’t confirm if that has actually occurred yet.
We couldn’t find any peer reviewed scientific literature that documented the effectiveness of UltraShape, but unlike cellulite creams like Murad or Cellulean this method does appear to work to some extent. However, there are some limitations. First, unlike liposuction, this procedure doesn’t work on large fat deposits. That’s because it breaks down the fat but the body has to process the melted fat cells. Second, you can’t treat fat that is located under tattoos or scar tissue. And third, you’re supposed to maintain a negative calorie intake for four day after treatment to make sure the released fat is properly processed by your body. While the process is claimed to be safe, there is a slight risk of medical side effects so you should ask your doctor if you’re seriously interested in this procedure.
Finally, check out the before and after pictures on the UltraShape website. It’s interesting that most of the people do look a bit better in the after picture, but they really don’t look that bad in the before picture in the first place! You have to decide if the expense of this treatment (about $1000 per session) is worth such limited results.
If anyone in the Beauty Brains community has tried this method, let us know what you think.

How do you maintain a “negative” caloric intake? Do you eat food with a really bad attitude?
thebeautybrains Says:
Thanks for the tip Dr. Barry. You’ve convinced me.
Cynical Girl, just ask for angry peas please. But I think they mean that you have to put out more energy than you take in. This means exercising. So, if you drink that Coke (150 cal) you’ll have to jog 1.5 miles to burn it off. And then jog a little more to go negative.
Teresa Says:
Hello Dr and others,
Well I was skeptical too, but after exercising for more than a year after chemo, I wanted to try something, so after a year of research, I decided to try Ultrashape, and well I have great news.
Yes, Ultrashape has worked, and my stomach has stayed flat. I started Jan 10 and went 3x, 30 days apart.
And I’ve had to buy new pants, it is great. It is now April 5 and last week I wore a bikini with confidence. Ive lost more than 4 inches around my waist. Id watch what you eat right after your treatment though, which means eat healthy foods. You can see my research and pictures @
http://hadultrashape.blogspot.com
Good luck to you. Ultrashape may replace liposuctions for thousands of people, esp. when and if it does come to the USA next year I hope. But there is always Tiajuana Mexico too. Dr Cueva is avaiable now in TJ and there are also doctors near Texas and Cancun.
Why get cut on, when you do not have to? I was really considering liposuction and went to a lipo doc, but was not willing to get another surgery after I had 6 cancer surgeries, chemo, had early menop for 7 horrible months, got a belly, felt tired, etc. So I tried UShape and so glad it worked for me. I eat veggies every couple hours, soup, no bread, no beer, and have yogurt for breakfast, hope that helps you.
I went from a size 14 waist to a size 12 waist. And I am not the only one who has had success from his office, I have heard other good news stories from my nurse Ana who has told me that it has changed the life of an older guy who now loves his new flat stomach, who had given up trying to lose his belly before he tried UShape.
Good luck to everyone. Id at least try 1 session before getting cut on, as it will work for you if you eat right. If it worked for my stubborn medical menop stomach fat, then I think it will work for anyone.
I am not sure about the 4 day neg. food intake, I did not read that anywhere in my research, I was told by the office to watch my food intake for 3 weeks. And also heard nothing about negative intake. Not sure where you heard that.
Teresa Says:
P.S. I do know that Ultrashape DOES WORK because . .
I did NOT change the way I ate while having UShape treatms.
I have been watching what I have been eating for the past 12 months. But, I did not lose 2 inches every 30 days, UNTIL I had 2 Ultrashape treatments. In Feb and March I lost 2″ each month. That is HOW I know it does work, and that is why 6 of my friends are now also getting Ultrashape treatments. In 2 months, I can report all 6 of their results here.
I posted the importance of what a person eats so that people do not eat cheeseburgers, fries, cookies, ice cream, cakes, donuts, 7 meat pizza, etc all day after an ultrashape treatment and then get depressed after they only lose 1/2 an inch, not 2 inches.
So I do disagree with Dr. Lycka. I would much rather have Ultrashape with no injections, instead of getting nasty injections from many sessions of mesotherapy. Dr. Lycka can promote plastic surgery, injections for fat burning, sure, go for it.
But I prefer a more natural, no injections, no pain, no downtime of Ultrashape. And Dr. Teitelbaum a surgeon of Los Angeles will offer Ultrashape in the United States when it becomes approved. He has seen it work in his clinical trials, and he is excited that it just works, without surgery.
thebeautybrains Says:
Thanks for your comments Teresa. We’re glad you found something that works for you. It sounds like it is a combination of the procedure and controlling your diet. Unfortunately, no one can be sure if you had just controlled your diet without the procedure whether you would’ve got the same results.
thebeautybrains Says:
Teresa, you write a compelling story but I’m a natural skeptic. (That’s why they call me Left Brain). The fact that this product is not approved by the FDA says a lot about it’s effectiveness.
It may be approved someday which would help persuade me. However, until then claims made by the company (or sincere customers) should be met with skepticism.
It’s quite possible that it is all a story sold by nefarious corporations. I recognize a lot of the techniques outlined in this article about health scams being used by the people selling Ultrashape.
That is not to say it doesn’t work. But it hasn’t been proven and until it has, I wouldn’t spend my money on it.
Bellina Says:
Teresa sounds like she works for the company. I don’t buy it. While I have never tried THIS one I did try endermologie.
I am extremely fit but still have a bad problem with cellulite. My diet is very healthy and I am very active. I spent $1,200 and it was the biggest waste of money I’ve ever made. It did nothing. Since there were virtually no results the company actually doubled my sessions for fear I may want my money back. I had about 20 sessions and finally gave up. And of course I did not receive a refund.
thebeautybrains Says:
Bellina: I agree that Teresa’s comments sound a bit too good to be true. That’s the problem with open comments or even a forum, you really can’t trust the source. Nonetheless, I’m still sorry to hear about all the money you wasted on Endermologie!
jay warm spirit Says:
what about spa ‘body wraps’ said to slim, tighten and tone? anyone tried one and did you see results?
lori Says:
tried an organic wrap, wore it for 1/2 hr, worked out for that 1/2 hr wearing plastic, in spit of it being gross (feet of wrap got full of sweat - of course, but eeewww!) only lost a total of 3 inches then. that being said tho - i lost 25 lbs over the next two months without doing anything different at all so the whole detox point may have been valid
andy Says:
I did ultrashape and got satisfactory results. it definitely doesn’t get rid of large amounts of fat but if you workout and eat healthy and still have trouble spots it’s great. it wasn’t painful at all and I went back to normal activities immediately. I have only done one session but I might do another one just to get more ripped. I would only recommend it to people who want to fine tune. as far as not being fda approved, the fda is a pawn of special interest groups so I’m sure they are in no hurry to approve a procedure that doesn’t require medication, hospital stays, anesthesia, and is a fraction of the cost. several countries that are far more advanced and cautious about plastic surgery have approved it. it’s been 3 months and I’ve had absolutely no side effects. I encourage everyone to do their own research, but my experience was positive although not that dramatic.
tammy Says:
hi, after 3 ushape treatments, i have lost 4 + inches, so i know that it worked for me. sure i did the diet that the nurse suggested to me, but now i will not need liposuction, because i got ultrashape.
and i agree with andy, ultrashape is for people that want to lose a few inches, not more than i guess 8 inches or so. they do reccommend 3 treatments so that you can see the difference. maybe lipo can do that for those people who want to lose 8 - 12 inches?
im glad that ultrashape is now available in canada, that is closer to me and my friends but when will it be available in new york?
steve Says:
good video on ultra shape by top doctor. Video is on medical site http://www.dlkonavenue.com
tammy Says:
Bellina,
sorry that you tried endermologie, i have read that it really just smoothes out the lines, but you have to go back monthly and it just doesn’t really work.
ultras. is very different, this melts the fat, over time, so people do lose inches and you don’t have to go back monthly to keep the area flat.
Lucia Says:
Hi Left Brain
I am also a Natural skeptic. And you’ll loose weight if you eat less than you spend. My problem is that I just want to loose 2 inches off my tummy, but not anywhere else, since I like the way I am right now.
For all of you skeptics put there, this has just recently made it to PubMed:
Teitelbaum SA, Burns JL, Kubota J, Matsuda H, Otto MJ, Shirakabe Y, Suzuki Y, Brown SA.
Noninvasive body contouring by focused ultrasound: safety and efficacy of the Contour I device in a multicenter, controlled, clinical study.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2007 Sep;120(3):779-89;
and I think it is nice for the company to wait for FDA approval, it doesn’t say anything about the effectiveness, but it says that the manufacturer is willing to put correct legal procedures first, instead of potential profit. Which is more of what you can say of for example Lipodissolve
Esma Says:
UltraShape Works for Body Contouring
I work in a clinic that has recently purchased the UltraShape machine in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, so you may be interested in our experience. Our medical and nursing staff went through an extensive evaluation of the available devices and found that the Ultrashape was the only one that really worked. Two of our staff had 3 sessions of the Accent “Fat Blaster” machine and neither had any result whatsoever! Another 2 staff members had a trial treatment with the UltraShape machine and each had an immediate 2 cm reduction in the circumference of their abdomen after a single treatment. They commented that you could actually feel the power of the ultrasound waves and it was even painful if the transducer was positioned over bone –the power had to be turned down! The same 2 nurses subsequently tried a treatment with the Ultracontour machine without any definite result either immediately or at one week. It’s a lot easier and quicker to use but didn’t seem as powerfull. So we bought the Ultrashape machine!
So far all of our patients have been delighted with the results using UltraShape. Unlike the Ultracontour, the UltraShape calculates the number of pulses required to treat any specific area. The pulses are then delivered evenly by means of an optical tracking system. The process is quite time consuming (often taking over an hour) but the results are definitely worth it. We have been treating tummies, hips, outer thighs, inner thighs, male breasts (gynaecomastia) and upper arms. There is always an immediate reduction in circumference and, for the abdomen, this averages about 2 cm. Patients can have further treatments at intervals of 2 weeks and the effect is cumulative. One patient has completed a course of three treatments with a 6.7cm loss! The technique works best on “soft fat” and less well on “hard fat”. At the end of a treatment session, we massage the treated area to encourage lymphatic drainage of the fat away from the treatment site and encourage patients to have a low carbohydrate diet for a few days so that the released fat is metabolised rather than stored elsewhere in the body.
Obviously UltraShape is not a substitute for weight loss or a treatment for obesity. It is best described as a body contouring device that gets rids of unwanted bulges of soft fat by using high powered focused ultrasound. We are now using it as an alternative to liposuction as many patients prefer a painless, non- invasive, walk-in walk-out procedure. We have more information and contact details on our website- ultrashapemelbourne.com.au
ANNA Says:
Dear Esma,
I am the Export Director of the company you are doing false allegation, ULTRACONTOUR, I have never met you neither your nurse, and I regret to say your comments are false and just by your chronology of the fact we can see it is false… if you had had ULTRACONTOUR you will know that there is a tracking of the points and the pulse via some software procedure (which you ignore totally) Secondly a procedure of Ultracontour is not only of HIFU but also of UMD, for Lymphatic Drainage, it is the only proven system with DUAL function on the same machine. From 2005 Ultracontour proved that you need to do drainage immediatly after an HIFU procedure, it is not your meaning less manual superficial action above the skin, by massage that will stimulate the lymphatic nodes and pump. You need here again an ultrasonic action at a specific frequency to be able to push the liquid to evacuate and leave the cells under middle stable cavitation, so that they cannot absorb any waste.
It seems that you have only financial interest to bullisht in internet and makes false allegation.
If you were honest you will not hide under a pseudo internet name !
We have 300 physicians in the world and University Hospital Studies to prove our efficiency. Further more your machine has never success the Ultrasonic test 60 -601-2-5 (FOR PULSE HIFU ultrasounds), Ultracontour pass this one as well as the 60-601-1 and 60-601-2-1, +4 of CE which you have just accepted to take as a risk for your patients, no wonder why you are recruiting a complaint specialist in Israel.
You can find several Ultrashape on internet for sales…. by physicians so if your machine was the only good in the world everybody will know and you will not need to bullish on other ones to get business.
I saw this forum seems to be serious so I wanted to re-established the truth to Australian doctors and patients that need not only marketing but also medical information.
With all respect and regards
ANNA

I am the Ultracontour distributor in Australia and New Zealand.
Esma, you are not being truthful at all and you know it! If you are who I think you are, particularly judging from the commerciality of your statements, then we know each other from the past and you will recall that on numerous occasions I picked you out for your habit of lying and telling “porkies”.
Alternatively if you are a nurse in a clinic in Victoria then you ought to know that your boss has expressed his dissatisfaction with the Ultrashape and is now considering the Ultracontour because it is so much less limited in its applications. You have claimed to be doing inner thighs with the Ultrashape. How? Do you have one legged patients or do they do the splitz?
I have just returned from a congress in the Gold Coast where several other Ultrashape users expressed the exact same comments to me and they are considering the Ultracontour for the same reasons and it makes so much better sense with the built in Ultrasonic Lymphatic Massage as standard after HIFU.

Where can an individual get the ULTRACONTOUR treatment in Toronto, Ontario (CANADA)??
Tina M Says:
Has anyone had the Ultrashape procedure at
the Laser Rejuvenation Clinic in Calgary? If so have you seen the results you anticipated?
Tina M Says:
Ultrashape does work if you don’t go here and you know what to look for to maximize treatment.One of the technicians who performed one of my procedures did tell me that Dr. Tom Woo had recently decided he couldn’t do liposuction anymore and I know that is much more expensive so I theorize that he’s looking to replace that revenue by reducing the efficacy of Ultrashape in order to prey on people who hope and pray that Ultrashape will work and suck them dry of all the money he can.
At Laser Rejuvenation Clinics and Spa in Calgary Alberta, Canada I had Ultrashape performed. A series of 3 treatments on my thighs, buttocks and abdomen.
I only lost 1 cm per treatment which was quite perplexing for me as, other than these stubborn spots, I am quite fit. I am 5″7 and 140 lbs. I exercise avidly, weight training 2 days per week, elliptical trainer 3 times a week for an hour, and run 10 kms. twice a week. Everywhere but my trouble spots I am cut. After much research into Ultrashape I discerned that I am the perfect candidate so I forked over almost $10,000 to the Laser Rejuvenation Clinic which lauded the same results put forth in clinical trials by Ultrashape. The problem is that they don’t observe the working protocol in order to achieve the results. Most pointedly as contained in an abstract from a clinical trial: Thirty six patients between 21 and 60 years old, 33 females and 3 males with diagnosis of lipodismorphism, were treated for localized adiposities in several parts of the body: abdomen, flanks or/and tights in three sequenced sessions of approximately 1000 ultrasonic pulses each one, made one month apart.
I received half that number of pulses in each treatment, hence my below average results. So I went looking for more information and discovered this: The patient´s position affects fat thickness and texture. Position 3 causes more thickness and the fat is softer. It can be improved with the help of elastic banding and specially designed cushions.
Utilisation of elastic banding and cushions: Cushions are used to position the area to be treated as parallel as possible to the surface of the treatment table and to improve patient comfort and stability. Banding is used to approximate the end of the ellipse in order to reduce tension and to increase fat thickness in the area to be treated with the Ultrashape.
The technicians who worked on me basically laid the tape on me , barely applying any pressure to the fat which did not isolate it for the machine to be able to pick up the number of pulses it would have required to give me the full treatment I had paid for!! Nor did they use any cushions to position me even though the special Ultrashape positioning pillows and cubes were on another table in the room. When I asked one of the technicians what they were for she was at least honest and told me they were for positioning patients but that I didn’t need them! I just laid out flat on the table with a tiny little pillow under my head. I fully believe that they are aware of the proper working protocol because the last technician I had was a really kind woman and took pity on me because I’d just had my measurement a month after the second treatment and still only a centimeter of loss in all 3 areas. She did my last treatment and she cinched me up tight with the tape for the first time!! It’s 8 days later and I’ve lost 4 cm already around my butt!! So it does work but you have to make sure the place you have it done is ethical and not trying to prey on people like me who just desperately want what they pay for to work. Thank god I had that one last treatment because I had actually started to buy in to the nasty consultant feeding me that there are some people it doesn’t work for. They did allow as how they’d be so kind as to let me pay for as many more treatments as I need at the rate of $800 apiece. At the rate they do treatments that would have only cost me about another 10 grand or so. The transducer, which is the handheld piece of the Ultrashape machine, has to be replaced after so many pulses and it’s expensive so between doling out the absolute minimum pulses they can in order to produce just the most minimal results and preying on the fact that they know even the littlest improvement could cause people to continue to throw good money after bad they have got quite a con job going on here.
I tried every day this week to get the consultant on the phone and left message after message. She knows I’ve figured out their scam and thinks that ignoring me will make me go away. She does not know me very well.
I am meeting with a class action lawyer on Monday and am hoping that others who have had similar experiences will want to join me. There are so many people on the web who have not had good results that I have to believe that there are other places out there conning people too.
This is the start of my internet campaign to enlighten people like me as I wish someone had done for me before this company ripped me off..
Tina M Says:
To tell how many pulses you are getting, the number appears at the bottom of the monitor right after they position the markers on you. There will be the number of pulses on one side at the bottom of the screen and another number next to it which reflects the pulses counting down as they’ve been administered. There’s no reason that you shouldn’t see that number and if you’ve been taped properly and aren’t too skinny for the procedure it should be in the range of 1000 or more pulses per treatment area which is 36 cm x 36cm, the size of area used in the clinical studies for Ultrashape. The clinic I went to said it was the size of 2 of my hands, which incidentally are 18 cm long but only 13 cm wide. Another way of reducing the efficacy of the treatment…
I have corresponded with several people who have had good results with their treatments and they all said that they were taped up so tight they could not move in order to isolate the areas treated. The tape should be a Tensoplast type stretch adhesive bandage, not the stuff they basically just laid on me to no effect on me which was akin to packing tape and took 4 days of labor intensive scrubbing to get the adhesive off. All these factors designed to make what I paid for work as minimally as possible… If I learned just one thing from this experience it’s pay attention and don’t take anyone’s word for anything!!
ANNA Says:
Dear Tina,
I am surprised by what you say, I know very well the therapy with focal ultrasounds and putting a tape or not will not change the treatment at all…
Focal ultrasounds operates on the area treated at a certain deepness and that you tape the area or not the treatment should be identical if the transducer is positionnate correctlly on the fat tissue
The transducer transmit energy on the tissue, the important is that you have received enough shoots on the area and the correct number of treatments according to your fat tissue thickness.
Maybe you can do a diagnostic ultrasounds to see your fat tissue after the treatments you had, and compare with the other area of your belly.
Good luck
ANNA
Tina M Says:
Respectfully, you are wrong. I have discussed this procedure at length with a scientist who oversaw the largest clinical studies of Ultrashape and he explained to me that the area MUST be cinched up tight to bunch the fat up in order to give the same treatment as was done in the clinical studies, as Ultrashape touts. As is clearly evidenced by the FACT that in the ONE proper treatment I received of NINE that I paid for, the Ultrashape machine picked up TWICE the pulses more than the first 2 treatments. Consequently at 2 weeks out i have lost 5cm around my butt, as compared to 1cm following the first 2 treatments of the same area. FACTS don’t lie…
ANNA Says:
Respectfully you are surely not a scientific person, I am an Ultrasonic Biomedical engineer with 10 years of work in ultrasounds, and that you tight up an area or not (Look at some diagnostic ultrasounds which are based on the echo of ultrasounds, not on absorbtion) YOU NEVER tigh up anybody to have a good ECHO.
So I think you have been mistaken, and should understand that when you are pulsing energy in an area, attached, taped…or whatever the pulse (specially in case of focal ultrasounds goes in a specific zone under the transducer at in your case 1,5cm deep) if your fat tissue is at least of 1,5cm the energy is put inside this tissue (taped or not).
One important thing you have forgotten if you had had previously other ultrasonic treatment you have already melt the fat tissue and break fibrosis, so restore the exchange of fluids in your belly, or hips…etc, this is why your tissue is more responding after several sessions than after ONE or TWO sessions.
Or by gathering the fat tissue by a tape you have made your fat propulsate up to be able to reach 1,5cm of fat … and then ultrasounds can work, in this case you have less than 1,5 cm of fat initially… and so your first treatment had been pulsed in your muscles layers…. consequently you had no or limitated results.
You see best results on fat are obtained by fat exfoliation and not treating fat layers deep down or at basal level… in this case you have a chance to operate on the muscles.
What other treatments did you get after this last Ultrashape, Accent, LPG, …etc ?
ANNA Says:
Forget to tell you have circumference are not an evidence of loosing fat…only sonography study can prove you… subcutaneous fat (SAT) is made 20% water and 80% fat… so that within a period of 28 days you could very well see your circumference increased again.
You should really do a diagnostic ultrasounds to see if it is true or false !
Tina M Says:
Going back and reading your previous posts I am inclined to believe you are simply attempting to discredit Ultrashape. ( And in a terribly illiterate, nonsensical and convoluted fashion!) Your posts make no sense and I know what I know and that is that if this procedure is performed according to the working protocol that Ultrashape used in the clinical studies, it is highly effective. I don’t need to do any further research because the ONE treatment I had that was done correctly has worked immensely…
ANNA Says:
GOING BACK To your comments, I think you work for ULTRASHAPE…and are not a patient at all. You are so much trying to make it big !
Patients are normally more interested in scientific background than just saying I have lost 5cm and it is wonderful after 10 treatments (9+1 I remind you)
Also Ultrashape protocole is now 3 treatments you can see all studies of Ingelfield, Asher…etc. You should visit Ultrashape website it is very well explained.
Tina M Says:
To reiterate:I am trying to enlighten people so they don’t get taken like I was. It was 8 +1: 9 total treatments. How exactly could I be “trying to make it big”? Please post the name of the university that gave you an engineering degree. I know at least a hundred engineers and not a one received a pinky ring being illiterate….
ANNA Says:
I have even an MBA for your info from London, UK ! You said in your previous declaration that it was the only good treatment you had from the previous 8 you had !!! you should have lost then 50cm !
Tina M Says:
Well apparently you comprehend English as well as you articulate it. I don’t think you have any degree from anywhere and I’m done trying to communicate with you. It’s obviously a fool’s errand.
ANNA Says:
Dear Tina,
you should respect foreigner… I bet you are one of these persons who speaks nothing else than ENGLISH ! When somebody criticise english language while you have been ripp off by Ultrashape with 9 treatment at 9,000 dollars for 5 cm !
You should have just done a liposuction even with a smart lipo laser, or equivalent for 3.500 to 4.000 dollars and it was less than 9 weeks… and for sure with results.
You have in total spend 9000 dollars for 5cm with ULTRASHAPE and have no clear evidence of a sonography that the fat is really gone !
This is why I am not a fool errand and do not need to insult people like you do.
Good luck with your poor results for 9000 dollars or maybe more !
Only one week diet and jogging will have done it for much more cheaper and you could pay yourself a HOLIDAY
Tina M Says:
It has been brought to my attention by someone who read my posts about Ultrashape at The Laser Rejuvenation Clinics and Spa and my experience, and has recently gone for a consultation there, that they have changed their pricing in an attempt to discredit what I have been posting. Be very cautious if you go there for this procedure. The clinical studies that they tout regarding the efficacy of Ultrashape clearly state that the controlled variable of at least 1000 pulses MUST be performed for it to give you the average 2.5cm result. That number is clearly available on the bottom of the screen (I had the presence of mind to look at that and record it every time) before they start the procedure and throughout as the other number counts down next to the number of pulses. The second variable of taping your fat up to bring it all within the area should achieve the 1000 pulses unless your are a toothpick. You should be wrapped all the way around your body above and below the area to be treated and it should be hard to move. The tape should be stretchy like the Tensoplast adhesive bandage you can find in any drug store. If I had to do it over again I’d bring my own!! Also you should pay around $1 per pulse, which, if they had been ethical about it they should have given me, because I paid that and then some!! And they should NOT be making people pay for 3 treatments UP FRONT, regardless of whether or not a person will need them…
Tina M Says:
Also the time it takes to adminster that many pulses will be around 2 full hours maybe a bit more and the $1 per pulse is TOP dollar, 80 cents seems to be more the norm everywhere else…

I had ultrashape in toronto (link on my name) and I can say that it did work. It took a few months to see the results. I’m on a 3 treatment program and I have one more to go but so far it’s going well!
kay Says:
Thanks for all the info Tina. I have been seriously considering the Ultrashape procedure. I too live in Calgary and was planning a consultation at the laser rejuv clinic.
Last year I had a scheduled appointment with Dr. Woo for the ultrasonic lipo. I was later informed that Dr. Woo was no longer offering Ultasonic Lipo, however they were now promoting Ultrashape. I am extremely happy that I have done my research, and grateful to ppl like you for sharing your experiences.
I have decided to stick to good old excercise and healthy eating!
ANNA Says:
In South Africa, several doctors have switch to ULTRACONTOUR, and the reason given by those doctors who have sold their Ultrashape is the following:
Ultracontour gives amazing results seen already in a short time, with weekly treatments, results are quickly evident - no longer waiting for a month between treatments like we need to with Ultrashape as lymph drainage is also stimulated ultrasonically.
Permanently melt down fat layers in much larger areas, with one hour treatment times and half the cost of the previous technologies !
J Whitely Says:
I did the same thing. I hate surgical procedure so I looked up the best deal I can get in the US. I even searched in Mexico for an extended treatment. And believe it or not the best deal I got in Toronto at Dr. Yazdanfar’s clinic (www.tcclinic.com). I was impressed by the results shown in the before and after pictures so I just have to book my next vacation and get to Toronto.
