Ultrasound treatment is one of the body contouring methods. In earlier days, doctors performed body contouring through invasive procedures such as liposuction. However, there are quite a few side-effects of liposuction including anesthesia complications and infections.

Luckily, technology has evolved to give way to non-invasive techniques for body shaping. These modalities focus on targeting specific physical properties of fat so it can be selectively removed. In ultrasound treatment, waves are focused directly on the fat layer whereby sound waves attack fat cells, inducing them to heat up and then ultimately die off. Since the ultrasound is specified to only the fat, there is no damage to surrounding tissues and the contents of the fat cells are carried away by the body’s natural lymphatic flow. It can be used on virtually any area where you’re carrying extra weight, without causing any bodily trauma.

All these facts sounded really appealing to me, so I decided to give it a go and I’m so glad I did. During and after the procedure, I didn’t experience any discomfort, all I felt was a gentle warming sensation. My therapy session only took around 40 minutes, making it the perfect lunch-hour treatment, which worked for me well. There was no downtime, and the only thing they asked me to do prior to the treatment was to drink plenty of water. I went for 3 sessions all together and now I’m looking and feeling so much better. Now all I’ll need to do is to maintain the results, which hopefully won’t be an issue after my lifestyle change.
