Stubborn fat can be incredibly difficult to get rid of, even with a healthy diet and regular exercise. For patients seeking a non-invasive solution, Liposonix® offers a precise way to target and reduce fat without surgery or downtime. Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center, led by Dr. Robert M. Kimmel, provides this advanced treatment with expert care. 

Dr. Kimmel is a board-certified plastic surgeon, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and the Medical Director of Keystone Surgery Center. With locations in Pottsville and Hazleton, PA, the center makes it convenient to explore the benefits of Liposonix® for a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.

What Is Liposonix®?

Liposonix® is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to permanently eliminate fat cells in targeted areas. Liposonix® is designed for body contouring, not weight loss, making it a great fit for those aiming to fine-tune their figure. It is commonly used to treat the belly, flanks, and thighs where fat tends to linger.

The treatment is FDA-approved and backed by clinical research, making it a reliable option for people seeking visible, lasting results without the risks or recovery time associated with surgery.

How Liposonix® Works

Liposonix® technology delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy deep beneath the skin’s surface, specifically targeting fat cells while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The focused ultrasound energy breaks down targeted fat cells, which the body gradually removes through its natural metabolic process.

Patients often notice a tingling or warming feeling, but it typically subsides shortly after the session. Depending on the treated area, a single session typically takes around an hour.

The Benefits of Liposonix® and What You Can Expect

Liposonix® is a great option for those who want to slim specific areas without the commitment of surgery. The treatment is done in-office, requires no anesthesia, and you can typically return to your usual routine right after your appointment.

Some of the top benefits include:

• No surgery, injections, or recovery time
• Gradual, natural-looking improvements
• A noticeable reduction in waistline size, often up to an inch after one session
• Long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle

Results develop over 8 to 12 weeks as your body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells, leaving you with a smoother, more sculpted look.
