ELITE BODY CONTOURING
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the Elite Body Contouring procedure?
The clinically-proven Elite Body Contouring procedure is the most widely used non-invasive solution for fat destruction and body sculpting. It uses pulsed focused ultrasound to target and reduce unwanted localized fat deposits, reduce body circumference and improve body shape. The new VUI-311 system also uses integrated vacuum-assisted Radio-Frequency to enhance fat cell destruction, expedite fat clearance and tighten skin. And finally, it uses Infrared to help increase circulation post treatment.
Who is it for?
The Elite Body Contouring treatment has been designed to help average men and women acquire an improved body shape and contour. It offers a non-surgical alternative to patients seeking effective reduction of localized fat deposits without surgery.
What body areas are treated?
The Elite Body Contouring treatment focuses on the abdomen, thighs, “saddle bags”, flanks and “love handles.
What results can I expect?
Clinical results show that in four treatments, patients see an average of 4 cm reduction in circumference. A four to eight treatment regimen is recommended to achieve maximum results. As with any non-invasive procedure the results you see may differ from the clinical trial results and patient to patient.
What does the procedure feel like?
Patients usually report feeling light-to-moderate tingling or warmth in the treated area.
What happens after treatment?
There is no downtime or recovery time associated with the Elite Body Contouring procedure. You can resume your daily routine immediately after treatment and there is no need for maintenance treatments. All you need to do is maintain a healthy diet and routine exercise to maximize results.
How long will it take to see results?
After the Elite Body Contouring procedure, released contents of the broken-down fat cells are naturally cleared by the body over a 2-4 week period. Circumference and fat thickness reduction is usually seen within the first 14 - 28 days post treatment. Maximum results are seen about 28 days post the final treatment.
How does the Elite Body Contouring technology work?
The patented Elite Body Contouring technology uses a handheld ultrasonic transducer to deliver controlled pulsed focused ultrasound at a precise depth within the fat layer. The technology is selective, meaning that only fat cells are broken down and surrounding important structures such as blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue remain intact.
Are there any side effects?
Extensive clinical trials and over 200,000 patient treatments performed worldwide have demonstrated the excellent safety profile of the Elite Body Contouring procedure.
What makes the Elite Body Contouring procedure unique?
Body sculpting with Elite Body Contouring delivers measurable, long-lasting circumference reduction in target body areas, and provides the following benefits:
Non-invasive – The procedure is totally non-invasive and reduces the fat thickness and circumference of the treated area with no incisions, cannulas, injections or needles.
Safe – The focused ultrasound causes a mechanical (non-thermal) effect that selectively targets and breaks down only fat cells without affecting the surrounding blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue.
Effective – After four sessions, patients experience an average of 4 cm reduction in body circumference. These results have been proven in clinical studies and are demonstrated in the hundreds of thousands of treatments performed worldwide. The results you experience may vary.
Comfort – The vast majority of people who have undergone the Elite Body Contouring body sculpting procedure report no discomfort. There is no anesthesia or sedation required. You simply lie on the bed and the technician guides a handheld device that delivers the focused ultrasound energy over your body.
How long will the results last?
Just as with liposuction, once fat cells are removed from the treatment area the results are expected to be long lasting, as long as you maintain your weight with a healthy diet and exercise.
How does the Elite Body Contouring procedure differ from other non- invasive body contouring treatments, which are based on lymphatic massage or radio- frequency technologies?
The Elite Body Contouring procedure uses pulsed focused ultrasound, radio frequency and infrared energy which selectively target and permanently destroys fat cells in the underlying fat layers. This is different from other non-invasive body contouring treatments, which may only enhance the lymphatic system activity to increase lymphatic drainage. Those treatments may only temporarily reduce the volume of the fat cells, not destroy and reduce the number of fat cells therefore the results are temporary and maintenance treatments are required. Elite Body Contouring destroys the fat cells in the focal area and increases blood circulation and lymphatic system activity to expedite the clearance of the liquefied fat. The results are long lasting.
