Alternative to Liposuction in Portugal - What to Expect in 45 Minutes

How Does Ultrasonic Fat Reduction Work?

Ultrasonic fat reduction uses focused ultrasound energy to target and break down fat cells beneath the skin’s surface. The technology works by creating controlled thermal effects that disrupt fat cell membranes without damaging surrounding tissues. Once destroyed, these fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over several weeks, resulting in a gradual reduction of the treated area.

What Happens During a 45-Minute Treatment Session?

A typical ultrasonic fat reduction session follows a straightforward process:

• Initial marking of the treatment area

• Application of conducting gel

• Systematic movement of the ultrasound device across the targeted region

• Gentle warming sensation during treatment

• Brief massage to help distribute the treated fat cells

Patients remain comfortable throughout the procedure, often describing the sensation as similar to a warm massage. No anesthesia is required, and you can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Which Body Areas Can Be Treated?

Ultrasonic fat reduction is versatile and can address multiple areas, including:

• Abdomen and flanks

• Thighs (inner and outer)

• Upper arms

• Back rolls

• Double chin

• Hip area

The treatment is particularly effective for targeting stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, though it’s not intended for significant weight loss.

Expected Results and Treatment Plans

Results typically become visible within 4-6 weeks after treatment, with maximum results showing at 12 weeks. Most patients require 1-3 sessions for optimal results, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on individual goals and the treatment area size.

Safety Considerations and Limitations

While ultrasonic fat reduction is generally safe, it’s important to have realistic expectations. The treatment works best for individuals near their target weight who want to address specific areas of stubborn fat. It’s not suitable for pregnant women, those with certain medical conditions, or as a weight loss solution.
