Non-invasive Fat Reduction Using Focused Ultrasound

What is Fat?

Fat cells store excess lipids that are not used as energy.

There are Two Major Types of Fat

Stubborn Fat Is Resistant to Diet & Exercise

70% of women say they worry aboutdeveloping a tummy bulge1

91% of women say there are things about their body they want to change or reduce2

Most people have tried diet & exerciseBut they still feel it’s not enough2

1 in 3 women say they have considered morethan just dieting and exercise toget rid of their fat2

UltraShape is the first and only FDA cleared procedure that uses focused pulsed

ultrasound to:

Precisely destroy fat cells protecting surrounding tissue, nerves and muscle

For immediate, long-lasting body contouring

With no downtime, no discomfort and no side effects

How UltraShape Gets Rid of Your Stubborn Fat

How UltraShape Gets Rid of Your Stubborn Fat

• Ultrasound energy is delivered precisely to stubborn subcutaneous fat 1.5 cm below the skins surface

• Rapidly changing pressure waves create vapor cavities in fat cells

• The mechanical stress caused by pressure stresses fat cell membranes causing them to break – releasing lipids (fat)

• Fat cells are destroyed while skin, nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue are unharmed

• Effect is purely mechanical, which means no discomfort or heating

Once fat cells are fractured:

• Freed triglycerides (fat) are safely cleared from the local area

• They are processed by the body’s natural metabolic pathways and transported to the liver to be used as energy

• Clinical studies have proven that there are no clinically significant changes in lipid profiles

Where Does the Fat Go?

UltraShape

Fat [from the UltraShape procedure] is ultimately processed by the body’s natural physiological and metabolic pathways that handle fat during weight loss.”

• The UltraShape procedure has an excellent safety record

• Over 250,000 patient treatments have been safely performed worldwide

• Over 600 patients have been the subject of clinical studies on the UltraShape Procedure

• As with any medical procedure there is always some risk

• Ask your doctor if you would like additional information on the safety of the UltraShape procedure

What to Expect

The UltraShape procedure is for:

•Reduction of localized fat deposits •Reduction of abdominal circumference •Improving body shape and contour

A good UltraShape candidate:

•Has a BMI under 30•Can pinch an inch of soft subcutaneous fat•Maintains a healthy lifestyle and diet•Has realistic expectations

Am I A Candidate?

UltraShape is not a treatment for weight loss, obesity, severe skin laxity, cellulite, or a replacement for liposuction

•Pacemaker, implanted cardiac defibrillator, or other electromagnetic implanted devices•Pregnant, or breast feeding or anticipated pregnancy during the treatment phase•Metabolic disorders or are currently taking any medication that could affect fat metabolism•Hepatitis or other liver diseases•Immune system disease or connective tissue disorders•History of poor wound healing, an open wound or rash in the treatment area•Keloids, hypertrophic scars, or depressed scars in the treatment area•Blood or bleeding disorders

UltraShape May Not Be Right For You If:

How long does the UltraShape procedure take?•An UltraShape treatment lasts between 45 minutes – 1 hour

•For best results, we recommend a series of three treatments 2 weeks apart

Is the UltraShape procedure painful?• The UltraShape procedure is performed during a convenient, “walk-in, walk-out”

session performed at an authorized UltraShape treatment center

• The UltraShape procedure uses pulsed ultrasound, so there is no discomfort caused by cold or heat

• Some patients report a slight-to-moderate tingling sensation

• The vast majority of patients report a comfortable treatment experience

What Does An UltraShape Treatment Feel Like?

Preparing For Your UltraShape Procedure

Your trained UltraShape treatment provider will :

1. Discuss the treatment with you and answer any questions you have

2. Medically evaluate you to confirm you are a good candidate

3. Check if you have enough fat thickness (over 3 cm) in the treatment area by using a finger pinch test or caliper pinch test.

4. Identify and mark area to be treated

5. Determine treatment pricing based on area to the treated

Step I : Treatment Consultation

1. Record measurements of the area to be treated to track circumferential reduction

2. Measurements will be taken and recorded before each treatment

3. A specially designed belt will be placed around your abdomen to isolate the area to be treated

Step II: Recording Measurements

1. Markers will be placed around the treatment area for the system to outline the treatment area

2. A special ultrasound gel will be applied on the treatment area

3. Treatment will begin and your entire marked “problem area” will be treated

4. Once treatment is completed, the gel will be wiped from the treatment area

5. Your next appointment will be scheduled in

2 weeks

Step III: The UltraShape Treatment

• Resume daily routine

• Avoid weight gain

• Eat a healthy diet

• Get routine exercise

• Reveal your UltraShape!

Post-Treatment Instructions

Treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. But remember that the key to maintaining your good results is to eat a good diet and have an

active, healthy lifestyle.

Patient Results

• Results are often visible within 10-14 days after the 1st treatment*

• You will see continued reduction up to 3 months after the completion of your 3rd treatment

• Clinical studies show average reduction of 3.4 cm - 6.3 cm after 3 treatments

• Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, good diet and exercise program are key to optimizing your results

When Will I See Results?

Results may vary. Not everyone will experience similar results, each individual will respond differently to the treatment .
