Patients increasingly demand non-invasive treatments. The 3rd generation UltraShape system with a combination of two propriety technologies now offers a new safe, no downtime, comfortable,  efficient and effective  non-invasive body contouring treatment. i.    Vertical Dynamic Focus™ (VDF)  non-thermal       selective focused ultrasound ii    RFVac™  Bi-polar Radio Frequency with integrated       vacuum   The new multi-application platform was launched in Paris at IMCAS 2010. Fat cell disruption, body contouring and skin tightening can now be done in one treatment session with one mobile platform. The system With a variety of ultrasound and radio frequency body contouring systems on the market, it is important to know the differences between technologies offered. Dr. Hector Leal of Ultralaser, Monterrey, Mexico explains: “The UltraShape focused ultrasound system induces focused ultrasound waves to disrupt adipocytes (fat cells) by a mechanical effect in order to improve body contouring. This specific effect, termed a cavitation effect, is different from the thermal effect induced by any other non-focused ultrasound systems intended for body contouring. The cavitation effect enables selective fat cell disruption without harming blood vessels, nerves or connective tissue”. It is a fact that non-focused ultrasound treatments do not deliver measurable and lasting results because it does not disrupt fat cells. Focused ultrasound is the only non-invasive technology clinically proven to disrupt fat cells. RF technology, not approved for fat reduction purposes, is only indicated for body and faces contouring, reduction of the appearance of cellulite, wrinkle reduction and skin tightening. UltraShape Contour 1 Vers 3 is the ONLY body contouring system available in South Africa that has the advantage of  the combination of fat cell disruption and skin tightening technologies. A single UltraShape treatment in 3 steps: Step 1. 15 minutes before focused ultrasound treatment the treatment area is prepared with the integrated vacuum assisted Radio Frequency technology (RFVac™).  Two Bi-polar RF modes deliver RF at different depths within the body.  RF energy increases circulation in the tissue and prepare the tissue for the focused ultrasound treatment.  Step 2. The fat cell disruption treatment is performed.  Non-thermal Vertical Focused Ultrasound is delivered.  VDF™ technology ensures immediate multi-depth selective fat disruption in a single pulse without any damage to surrounding blood vessels, nerves or connective tissue.  Step 3. 10 minutes immediately after the focused ultrasound treatment another treatment with RFVac™ follows to accelerate  circulation for better and faster fat clearance and tissue tightening.  The clearance of triglycerides and cell debris from the  disrupted fat cells are processed by the body’s natural physiological and metabolic pathways.  Courtesy of Dr. Jorge Ottini, Buenos Aires, Argentina         Combination therapy. 3 sessions. 6cm reduction In a clinical study Dr. Hector Leal found that, 28 days after treatment of 24 subjects with the combined therapy, the mean circumference reductions were 3.6cm.  The mean weight change was 0.5kg and 100% patients were very satisfied with the results.
