UltraShape redefines aesthetic medicine by developing, manufacturing and marketing innovative non-invasive technologies for fat cell destruction and body sculpting. The company develops and markets clinically proven safe and effective solutions that enhance the lives of patients. The UltraShape proprietary technology employs pulsed (non-thermal) focused ultrasound that instantly, selectively and permanently destroys fat cells without affecting surrounding structures. Founded in 2000, UltraShape has sold Contour I devices in more than 50 countries, demonstrating safety and efficacy.

The UltraShape Contour I system, is authorized for marketing outside the U.S. It is the first clinically proven non-invasive solution that offers measurable lasting body sculpting results for men and women with no need for maintenance treatments. The UltraShape system has been shown to be safe and effective in a multi-center controlled trial and numerous other peer-reviewed published independent clinical studies. 

The device is designed to produce mechanical, non-thermal, acoustic effects which target and selectively destroy (breakdown) fat cells, leaving surrounding critical structures such as skin, blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue intact. The latest Contour I V3 system uses Vertical Dynamic Focus™ (VDF) pulsed (non-thermal) focused ultrasound that instantly and permanently destroys fat cells providing patients a convenient noninvasive no-downtime solution to reduce localized fat deposits and body circumference. The UltraShape procedure is based on a natural fat clearance process where triglycerides and cell debris from the destroyed fat cells are processed by the body's natural physiological and metabolic pathways. These pathways are the same that handle fat during weight loss. Results from UltraShape's peer-reviewed published multi-center controlled clinical trial and other independent clinical studies show that the released triglycerides do not accumulate to a clinically significant extent in the blood or liver.

Over 200,000 patient treatments have been performed worldwide with the Contour I showing high patient satisfaction while demonstrating safety and efficacy. The UltraShape procedure is guided by proprietary real-time tracking and guidance technology designed to deliver smooth, uniform body contouring results. The software guides the operator through a pre-determined treatment algorithm designed to minimize risk of contour irregularities, a common side effect of invasive and non-invasive procedures. The UltraShape procedure is performed during a convenient, "walk-in, walk-out" session carried out in an office-based environment; it requires no anesthesia or sedation. After treatment, patients immediately resume their daily routines with no need for maintenance treatments.

The UltraShape Contour I received the CE Mark in 2005 and a medical device license from Health Canada in 2007. The Contour I system is not available for sale in the U.S; the Contour Plus system is an investigational product limited by U.S. law to investigational use only.
