UltraShape is the clinically proven non-invasive solution for fat reduction and body contouring using “non-thermal” selective focused ultrasound technology. Seven leading physicians specializing in the field of aesthetic medicine will present clinical results on the effectiveness of UltraShape’s Contour I in reducing fat thickness and improving body contours. Dr. Benjamin Ascher, Clinique of Aesthetic Surgery IENA in Paris, France, and Course Director of IMCAS, will present his most recent clinical experience involving 130 patients. Results demonstrate that following a three-treatment protocol using the UltraShape Contour I system, over 72% of patients achieved 2-7 cm in body circumference reduction. "Both my patients and I, as a physician, have been extremely satisfied with the results. Patients are specifically pleased with the pain-free, 'walk-in, walk out' nature of the procedure and the long-lasting body contouring effects," affirmed Dr. Ascher. Dr. Christopher Inglefield, Plastic Surgery Clinic at the London Bridge Hospital in London, UK, will review results from his 500-patient clinical experience with UltraShape Contour I, in which he found an average circumference reduction of 6.3 cm and a patient satisfaction rate of 93%. "UltraShape's innovative technology has proven to be a breakthrough in the medical aesthetics field. Adding this unique non-invasive technology to my practice has attracted a significant amount of new non-surgical patients to my clinic," stated Dr. Inglefield. Dr. Hector Leal-Silva, Center for Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery (CDCC) in Monterrey, Mexico, will discuss his clinical experience with UltraShape which showed definite measurable results after three treatments in 100% of patients, including an average of a 5 cm reduction in circumference and documented CT scan reduction of fat thickness. Ninety-four percent (94%) of patients were satisfied with the procedure. “UltraShape has addressed a previously unmet patient need in my practice for a safe and effective non-invasive option for the reduction of localized fat deposits,” said Leal.
