Frequently Asked Questions
What is LUST Lipo-Ultra Sound Therapy?
The Lipo-Ultra Sound DiaThermy System is the most advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology available, offering deeper tissue penetration on all body parts under arms, abdomen, thighs, buttock and even sensitive skin. Lipo-Ultra Sound Therapy also known as the LUST effectively smoothes wrinkles, tightens loose skin and re-contours below the surface. This new technology uses a proprietary UniPolar frequency mode to deliver Volumetric RF energy into the dermal and sub-dermal layers up to 3 to 5 cm in depth within the body. Engineered for safety, the Lipo-Ultra Sound Therapy is designed for a gradual build-up of heat to achieve the optimal therapeutic effect while offering virtually
pain-free comfort, thus eliminating the need for anesthesia.
Why use Unipolar radiofrequency?
The Unipolar hand piece penetrates between 3 ~ 5 cm into tissue-allowing a much deeper controlled penetration of collagen. Heating to these tissue depths therapeutically improves local circulation and promotes fibrous tissue breakdown.
What areas can be treated?
Body treatments include cellulite, fat reduction, and skin tightening for legs, buttocks, hips, abdomen, love handles, arms, and other "problem" areas. Face treatments include skin tightening for necklines/jowls, cheek lines, forehead, and eyes.
What is cellulite?
Cellulite is a dimpling effect caused by the way fat cells lie in or between connective tissue in the body, occurring primarily in the hips-thighs-buttocks region. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not caused by excess weight. Since women experience cellulite significantly more than men, most doctors believe Estrogen plays a role in its development.
How long does each treatment take?
Prior to any treatment, consultation takes place with the patient. Generally, treatments are not done on the same day as the consultation. The actual treatments will vary based on the amount of treatment areas. Most treatments take about 30-45 minutes, a 30-minute which includes measurements, percentage body fat, digital photographs, and the treatment itself.
Are there any side effects?
There may be a heating sensation or mild discomfort during the treatment, which should disappear within a few minutes. Mild erythema (reddening of the skin) may appear and last up to 24 hours, and the skin may become dry, so using an emollient lotion after treatment is recommended. Most patients report a painless and comfortable experience.
How many treatments are needed to reach a desired result?
It really depends on the specific patient and what the patient's goals are. It also depends on the treatment area and the amount of body fat or cellulite present. On the average, it takes 4-8 treatments to reach the desired result. Many other techniques on the market can take up to 12 treatments to obtain the desired results.
How long does it last?
Results are said to last for anything from 6 months to up to 2 years for facial tightening treatments according to the manufacturer. However, ongoing maintenance will be required more frequently for older people and for those with poor skin quality to begin-with, as a result of smoking, sun exposure, alcohol consumption etc. For body contouring applications, the improvement in the skin quality is said to be long lasting, similar to the facial tightening results; however keeping the body contours in check is also subject to a persons diet, calorie intake, exercise and lifestyle. Fat cells have the capability of expanding to 500 times their size, thus an unbalanced diet and unhealthy lifestyle plays a centre roll in keeping body contours in good shape more than any treatment can, effective as it is.
What is the recovery time after treatment?
Patients can return to work or other activities immediately after each session.
Are there medical conditions that may prohibit me from receiving the LUST Lipo-Ultra Sound Therapy?
Yes, they include any history of skin malignancy, vascular disease, implantable pacemakers/defibrillators or alike, any large metallic implant, any medication that can cause skin hypersensitivity, hypertrophic scar or keloid formations, pregnancy, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding..
