Clinical trial results for the first clinically-proven non-invasive focused ultrasound solution for body contouring called UltraShape were recently published in the Journal of the America Society of Plastic Surgeons, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS).

The study called “Body Contouring by Non-Invasive Transdermal Focused Ultrasound: Safety and Efficacy of the Contour 1 Device in a Multi-Center, Controlled Clinical Study” carefully demonstrates the durable and measurable body circumference as well as fat thickness reduction after a single UltraShape treatment.

Steve Teitelbaum, MD, the lead researcher for the multi-center controlled clinical trial for UltraShape and the assistant clinical professor of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA says that with UltraShape, is a proven non-invasive, no downtime body contouring approach that provides durable results. The method specifically delivers more focused ultrasound energy that is strong enough to remove all fat cells, while keeping the neighbouring tissues unharmed.

The Chief Executive Officer of UltraShape Incorporated, Rodger Stewart, admitted that the clinical findings of UltraShape clearly demonstrate the clinical effectiveness and the safety of this procedure which has long been adapted by physicians and cosmetic surgeons all around the world.

At present, more than 40,000 patients have undergone this cosmetic surgery and the company expects the number to increase as better technologies have been observed rapidly increasing. Jeffery M. Kenkel, Vice Chairman and Professor of the Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre and the chairman of the UltraShape North America Medical Advisory Board also added that published medical results of this reconstructive surgery in a journal like Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery further confirms UltraShape’s promise for a non-invasive fat cell lysis and body contouring with the help of a focused ultrasound technology.

Additionally, the patented real time tracking of UltraShape, along with its guiding technology provides consistent energy delivery. This is to ensure a more uniformed and smooth results of body-contouring. UltraShape is practically a breakthrough considering the fact that one of the most common side effects of body contouring is contour irregularities, and this latest cosmetic breakthrough has successfully dealt with that.

More on the Study

The clinical trial for UltraShape’s non-invasive body contouring system was conducted in five different centres worldwide; two in the United States, one in the United Kingdom, and another two in Japan. The study involved a hundred and sixty-four healthy patients from these countries. Of the study, one hundred thirty seven were treated with single treatments, while the remaining twenty seven served as the control group, which means they were left untreated. Included in the study are particular areas in the body like thighs, flanks, and the abdomen.

The study further demonstrated reducing the localized fat deposits to up to 2 centimeters after a single treatment. During the eight-four day follow-up and monitoring period, there was no significant weight loss statistically observed. This simply means to say that the reduced circumference was generally attributed to the single treatment and not due to weight loss. Additionally, there were no observed clinically significant increases of serum lipid profiles or changes in blood as well as urine tests. A liver ultrasound was conducted also before and after the single treatment and there were no changes observed to the liver.

What is the UltraShape Contour 1

This is basically a system that focuses on ultrasound technology. This is the first clinically and scientifically proven non-invasive body contouring method both for women and men. The device used in this system produced non-thermal, mechanical and acoustic effects that targets and then effectively destroys fat cells. This method leaves the surrounding structures like the skin, nerves, or the blood vessels intact and safe.

The UltraShape Contour system is by far one of the most effective ways to reduce excess fats. It is safe, it is clinically proven effective, and it can last for long.
