"Liposonix is a significant scientific advance for people who want a safe, effective and convenient way to get rid of that last unwanted inch around the waist," said Anne Chapas, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor at New York University School of Medicine and Founder and Medical Director of Union Square Laser Dermatology. "When diet and exercise just aren't enough to lose that last inch, the Liposonix custom contouring treatment is a terrific option for patients to achieve the shape they want without the expense, discomfort and recovery time of invasive procedures, such as liposuction." (See Dr. Chapas demonstrate Liposonix treatment on the Dr. Oz show.)

Unlike other non-invasive fat reduction treatments, Liposonix permanently destroys the fat cells found beneath the skin, without harming the skin, with just one treatment in a procedure that takes about one hour. The body naturally processes and removes the fat tissue over a period of 8 to 12 weeks, leaving behind the desired slimmer, more contoured waistline. Clinical studies have demonstrated an average waist circumference reduction of approximately 2.6 cm (1 inch) after a single Liposonix treatment.
