Body Contouring/ Fat & Cellulite Reduction

The VASER Shape MC1 is an ultrasound treatment that breaks the membranes of fat cells, the fat cells implode releasing fatty acids and triglycerides. They are then absorbed through the lymph and transported to the liver blood vessels. Through the natural metabolism of the liver, the excess fatty acids and triglycerides are eliminated from the body. A Lymphatic drainage guide, which is integrated into the applicator, is known as the “zone massage”, greatly facilitates this process of elimination.

Vaser Shape MC1 uses an applicator with two low-frequency ultrasound heads that target unwanted localized fat just beneath the skin. The two handpieces of the VASER Shape MC1 System work in tandem to treat the target area and promote drainage through the lymphatic system.

• Ultrasound Diathermy – Through the application of high-frequency sound waves for local heat therapy, the ultrasound energy affects fatty tissue in a non-invasive manner by warming the treatment area and producing a “micromassage” to the fat cells, encouraging excess fat to escape from the cell membranes and ultimately temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite.
• Zonal Massage – The zonal massage handpiece on the system then works with the lymphatic system to drain away excess toxins and fats for removal from the body and increase local blood circulation. The zonal massage handpiece can also help to open the lymph nodes pre- and post-treatment.

In this low-frequency ultrasound penetrates the targeted subcutaneous adipose tissue and is designed so that it causes fat cells to implode, thereby leaving the skin, blood vessels and connective tissue intact. During the treatment, VASER Shape MC1, tissue and fat cells are facilitated by the “Zone Massage” in the applicator. Through two mutually coordinated actions of ultrasound in tissue creates stages of compression and decompression. This allows the tissue to create a lot of gas bubbles. The bubbles are becoming bigger and bigger and encourage implode and decomposition of fat cells.

All localized fat deposits, and areas affected by cellulite, except for the face.

Most areas of treatment affect fats in these areas:

• abdominal area
• legs
• love handles
• buttocks and hips
• lower back
• bra area on the back
• areas affected by cellulite

Treatments can be described as a feeling like a hot deep massage. This should be a painless experience.

Great question! It is non-invasive, painless, highly effective and safe treatment. There is no need for anesthesia and surgery. During the treatment, there is a feeling of relaxing, warm massage. Reduction immediately after treatment, technicians have seen about 2.5cm in the waist. There are no known short-term or long-term side effects associated with treatment.
