Dr. Rebecca Novo, our double board certified plastic surgeon reviews UltraSlim.

We are each born with a set number of fat cells that shrink and enlarge as we lose and gain weight throughout our lives. Most other modalities that remove or destroy fat cells run the same risk of causing unpredictable weight gain in other areas of the body once a certain fat store is removed or depleted. After researching many fat loss and body sculpting modalities we came to the conclusion that fat cell shrinking was the most attractive and low-risk treatment and wanted to offer it to our patients. Ultraslim® is a no-touch treatment using a special patented light to stimulate fat cells. The treated fat cells respond by opening temporary pores in the cell and emptying the fat cell contents, releasing stubborn fat you just can’t seem to get rid of with dieting or exercise. Studies show that UltraSlim® can reduce fat cell size by one-third in only 8 minutes. Each 32-minute treatment session includes four 8-minute exposures, with one each to the front, the back, the left side, and the right side. Unlike all other non-invasive fat reduction therapies, UltraSlim® works immediately, showing dramatic results before you leave the treatment room. THE AVERAGE PATIENT LOSES 3.5” (54.1 FLUID OUNCES) OF PURE FAT! SOME PATIENTS LOSE OVER 10” AT A SINGLE TREATMENT!
