UltraShape® is an innovative body-sculpting mechanism which harnesses pulsed ultrasonic waves in order to destroy fat and improve skin tone using a comfortable, non-invasive technique. UltraShape® is a noninvasive fat destruction alternative to patients looking to avoid liposuction

No matter how hard you work at your diet and exercise regimen to reduce fat, there are often those stubborn areas where the fat just refuses to go away. And with persistent fat on the abdomen, thighs, and flanks, the dimpled, cottage-cheese-like appearance of cellulite often persists as well. For many of us, those tough-to-tame fat deposits will simply never go away without the aid of body contouring techniques.

Chosen by Millennium Med because of its proven track record of success in numerous clinical trials, UltraShape® technology works through the use of focused, ultrasonic waves that blast through fat cells, eliminating them in a way that is safe, effective, and long-lasting. Pulsed ultrasonic technology allows UltraShape® to target specific problem areas, eliminating fat without the degradation of healthy muscle tissues. The pulsed technology also contributes to the reduction of post-treatment complications, such as bruising, swelling, or discoloration. With this targeted, customizable treatment, you can pick and choose the areas you would like to treat, and keep some of those attractive curves that you love.

The UltraShape® procedure is a pleasant, relaxing experience. It’s nonsurgical, so there are no incisions or anesthetics, no downtime, bruising swelling or recovery time. And unlike other fat-reduction procedures that use heat or freeze fat, UltraShape® is painless and leaves no visible signs of treatment.

Clinical studies report a 94% patient satisfaction rate. Although your customized treatment program will be designed specifically to fit your unique body type and desired outcomes, a series of at least three treatment sessions is often found to produce optimal results. Most patients will see a 1-3 inch circumferential reduction in the abdomen, although patient results will vary.

UltraShape® is perfect for:

• Reducing fat deposits on the thighs, abdomen, and flanks
• Improving skin tone and firmness
• Reducing the appearance of cellulite dimples

Key benefits of UltraShape® treatment include:

• Comfortable, non-invasive procedure with NO downtime
• Immediate, long-lasting results
• Customized treatment plan targets specific problem areas
• Permanent fat-cell destruction, while protecting desirable tissue
• Reduced risk of complications
• Proven track record of success

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UltraShape?           

UltraShape® is the first and only FDA-cleared, non-invasive body shaping device for selective fat cell destruction. The UltraShape® procedure uses focused, pulsed ultrasound energy to target and instantly destroy stubborn fat, without discomfort or downtime.

Is UltraShape right for me?           

UltraShape® is ideal for people with stubborn fat or genetically acquired problem areas. For best results, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise is recommended. UltraShape® is not recommended for major weight loss.

How many treatments will I need?           

Three treatments spaced 2 weeks apart are recommended. This timing gives your body time to clear the fat cells from your system, maximizing your results.

Why Have UltraShape®?

UltraShape® offers a number of advantages. It has a proven track record, for 300,000 people in over 50 countries have undergone UltraShape® treatments. In addition, UltraShape® has been the subject of clinical trials involving over 600 patients and the patients reported a satisfaction rate of 86 to 94 percent. Although relatively new in the United States, it has been approved by the FDA for selective fat-cell destruction.

Since UltraShape® does not involve surgery, heat or cold, it is completely painless. There is no freezing, bruising or swelling. The patient is not subjected to incisions or injections, so they do not need to have a recovery period and can immediately go about their daily routine. There have been no reported adverse effects, and the fat reduction is homogenous and spread evenly throughout the treatment area.

How does UltraShape® work?

Using ultrasound energy, UltraShape® is able to target fat cells, destroying them instantly, so patients can see visible results within two weeks. Because the ultrasound energy is pulsed and focused, UltraShape® is able to target the fat cells mechanically, without heating them and without damaging surrounding tissue. The designated area is treated only once, ensuring a complete and uniform treatment. Once the fat cell membranes are disrupted, the content of the cells is transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver. The fat is then processed via the body’s natural mechanisms.

How noticeable will my results be?

You should see results in as few as two weeks. Clinical results show:

• Average reduction of 3.3 cm (1.3 inches)
• Up to 6.3 cm (nearly 2.5 inches) after 3 treatments

How long will the procedure last?

An UltraShape® procedure typically lasts 45 – 60 minutes. Recommended treatment includes three procedures spaced every two weeks to get the desired results.

Is UltraShape® safe?

The UltraShape® system has been shown to be safe and effective for patients.

• Cleared for abdominal circumference reduction.
• Clinically demonstrated in multi-center controlled trials
• 10 peer-reviewed published articles and book chapters, and counting
• Hundreds of thousands of treatments have been performed worldwide

Are UltraShape® treatments painful?

Most patients report a comfortable experience, and side effects are extremely rare. There are no post treatment lumps, bumps, soreness or numbness. UltraShape® is also a no-downtime treatment, so you can resume your normal activities right away.

How many treatments will I need?

We recommend three treatments spaced two weeks apart. Spacing treatments gives your body time to clear the fat cells from your system.

How long do the results last?

Because fat cells are destroyed, you will see a long-lasting effect without maintenance treatments later on. Of course, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep the fat cells from coming back.

What makes UltraShape® different from other treatments?

UltraShape® treatments result in the immediate destruction of fat cells. Measurable results are seen as early as two weeks. UltraShape treatments are also very comfortable and not associated with post treatment soreness, lumps or bumps. 3D mapping of treatments ensures that energy is delivered uniformly, therefore minimizing contour irregularities—a common side effect of liposuction. 

Is UltraShape® right for me?

The UltraShape® treatment has been designed to help average to moderately overweight men and women achieve an improved body shape and contour. UltraShape offers an effective non-surgical alternative to patients seeking a significant reduction of localized fat deposits without surgery. To optimize the results of the treatments, it is recommended that patients adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Who is UltraShape® for?

UltraShape® is for men and women seeking to rid themselves of stubborn localized fat deposits. Candidates for the treatment want improved contours and shapes. It is not a method for losing weight.

Are You an UltraShape® Candidate?

The ideal candidate for UltraShape® is healthy and has a BMI under 30, which means they are not obese. Nor is UltraShape® for the very thin; candidates must have at least 1.5 cm (.4 inches) of fat. The ideal candidates have already adopted a healthy diet and exercise regimen and have realistic expectations of UltraShape® as a body shaping adjunct. They understand that UltraShape® is not designed for major weight loss. It is intended to sculpt those few stubborn areas that have not responded to diet or exercise. UltraShape® works equally well for men and women.

Some others are not going to be good candidates for UltraShape® if any of the below applies:

• Implanted electromagnetic devices, such as pacemakers
• Breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning to get pregnant
• Blood or bleeding disorders
• Metabolic and immune system disorders
• Connective tissue disorders
• Liver diseases
• Keloids, scars, rashes or open wounds in the treatment area

What parts of the body are treated with UltraShape®?

So far, UltraShape® is used to treat the abdomen, flanks and thighs.

Is the procedure painful?

No. UltraShape® is painless. Many patients do report a mild-to-moderate tingling or warmth in the treatment area.

What are the typical results?

In clinical studies, researchers have found that the typical UltraShape® patient had lost 1.3 inches. Patients can lose up to two dress sizes if they combine the procedure with diet and exercise. As with liposuction, the results can be long-lasting if the patient follows a healthy diet and exercise regimen that prevents them from gaining weight.

How long does it take for the results to become visible?

After the UltraShape® procedure, it takes the body two to four weeks to clear away the destroyed fat cells and send them to the liver. The results of the procedure therefore don’t start to show until two to four weeks after the first treatment. The maximum results don’t become apparent until four weeks after the final treatment.

Are there risks?

As UltraShape® is a medical procedure, there are some risks, but they are minimal.

How soon can I return to work?

Since UltraShape® is so minimally invasive and does not involve any surgery; the patient can resume their normal activities immediately.
