1/10
How long do the results last?
As the fat cells are permanently destroyed, the results are permanent as long as you keep to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
2/10
How much fat do you have in the potential treatment area?
To be considered as a suitable candidate for the treatment, you need to be able to "pinch-an-inch" (2.5 cm) of fat in the treatment area. In addition, your BMI should be less than 30.
3/10
What are your expectations from the treatment?
If you expect to drop several inches right from the first treatment, then your expectations may too high. With one treatment you would see yourself dropping a jean size, with full results in 8 to 12 weeks. If you do not see results right off the bat, that's because your body needs time to naturally elimate the destroyed fat tissues.
4/10
What's the difference between Liposonix and Liposuction?
Liposonix is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment. So essentially there's no incision done to the skin to remove fats through a suction. Instead Liposonix uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to permanently destroy unwanted fat.
5/10
How does Liposonix work?
High-intensity ultrasound energy focuses on the targeted fat, destroying fat cells beneath the surface layers of the skin. Thereafter, the treated fat tissue gets removed through the body's natural healing and elimination process. And what you'll be left with is a slimmer, more defined body shape.
6/10
How many treatments will you need to see results?
You would see results right from the first treatment. However, if there are more areas of concern or if you'd like to greater reduction in inches loss then more treatment sessions may be necessary. The doctor would be able to better advise on how to schedule the treatments.
7/10
Can I lose weight with a Liposonix treatment?
Liposonix should not be seen as a weight loss treatment because with Liposonix, the fat cells are permanently disrupted. Hence considering that fat cells do not weigh much, you would not expect to see a significant decrease in weight.
8/10
What areas of the body are you looking to target?
Before going down to the doctor, be sure you're able to explain exactly the areas you're looking to target. Be it your stomach, love handles, thighs or arms.
9/10
What happens during the Liposonix treatment?
During the treatment session, the doctor would make marks on the area that needs to be treated before placing the head of the Liposonix device on those selected areas. While you would feel slight discomfort, tingling, prickling or pain during the treatment, it is generally mild. The entire process should take about an hour.
10/10
What are the potential side effects?
First off, considering that it's a non-invasive treatment, there is little to no downtime. As with regards to side effects, they're relatively minimal and temporary with some experiencing redness, bruising, discomfort and swelling.

If it's your virgin experience trying any treatment aesthetic-related, fret not for we've got all the questions you should ask before heading down for one.

If you could choose whittling away your waist without having to go through a crazy diet, exercise or surgery, wouldn't you jump at the chance? Well, Liposonix+ is one such non-invasive treatment that aims to eliminate fat cells and give you a more contoured body shape. Not only is the entire process hassle-free and relatively quick, the results are also visible right from the first treatment.

Using high-intensity focused ultrasound to target pockets of stubborn fat at your desired areas, the treatment will essentially see you dropping a jean size - all without harming the skin's layers. With lower risks, lower downtime and relatively minimal pain, Liposonix+ is quite possibly one of the more suitable and quicker ways to attain a shapely silhouette.
