How is the LipoSonix Treatment Different?

Many nonsurgical fat removal systems do not focus, penetrate and destroy the fat found beneath the skin. Most of the energy delivered by these systems has significant absorption by the skin, limiting the intensity of energy required to truly destroy fat cells.

The LipoSonix treatment is the most unique and effective among body-contouring technologies.

The LipoSonix treatment is also unique because of its ability to focus its energy at specific depths in the fat. Other devices do not have this specificity of treatment. This efficient delivery of energy into the fat also has a treatment time as little as an hour office treatment. Dr Paul Jarrod Frank is a leader in the field of minimally invasive liposuction surgery and fat removal devices. As director of the 5th Avenue Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center, he is among the first practicners in the United States to offer LipoSonix technology.

Zeltiq/Coolsculpting (Fat Freezing)

This once popular nonsurgical technology is limited by the efficacy,shape, ergonomics, and treatment times of the device. The science behind the technology involves literally freezing the fat cells to induce cell death. To treat a significant area of fat, patients must sit for hours at a time with a large suction device attached to them, making the ability to sculpt and accommodate the variations in body frame very difficult. Singular treatments are usually not enough to give cosmetically significant results and patients can be left with prolonged anesthesia of the skin after treatment due to the intense cold applied to the skin.

Zerona

Zerona is a nonsurgical, non heated light source that is merely and literally shined on the patient over multiple treatment sessions. Experts in the field of fat removal almost unanimously agree that this technology provides no efficacy.

Laser and Radio-Frequency (RF) Technologies

Compared to the LipoSonix treatment, low-energy systems such as laser or radio-frequency have less penetration into the targeted fat. This is because the energy these systems use is reflected and absorbed by the skin. The LipoSonix system penetrates through the skin layers and into the targeted fat without harming skin or surrounding tissues.
