Body Sculpting with Lipo Hifu
Lipohifu is a non-surgical treatment that helps men and women to treat problems areas and achieve a body shape that is ideal for them. Developed for people who lead a healthy lifestyle by eating right and exercising, but still have “an inch to pinch” around their waist, Lipohifu is the scientifically proven non-invasive way to get a slimmer, more contoured waistline.
The Lipohifu system is the go-to solution that is clinically proven to effectively get rid of that unwanted inch around the waist, giving men and women an added boost of confidence in their shape. Unlike other non-invasive fat reduction treatments, Lipohifu is a custom contouring solution designed to selectively target and permanently destroy unwanted fat tissue around the waist.
By using advanced high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), Lipohifu removes fat below the skin in one hour-long treatment. Over a period of 8-12 weeks, the body naturally processes and removes the fat tissue.
A unique pattern delivery system within the treatment head delivers the energy in a controlled, consistent manner. Targeted fat cells are permanently destroyed without harming the skin, and the body naturally processes and removes the fat tissue over a period of 8 to 12 weeks.
Yelp! review 7/19/2018 ✭✭✭✭✭
I have received many aesthetic procedures from Dr. Schaefer and have never been disappointed! She gave me the perfect amount of filler in my lips exactly where I wanted it. I feel more confident and love my lips now. I also had the HIFU (High-intensity focused ultrasound) done around my belly button and my stomach has never looked better! I was extremely skeptical about it at first, but the results don't lie. My stomach has always been a problem area and Dr. Schaefer has changed that now!
Top 10 Lipohifu FAQ
Where does the fat go after a LipoHifu treatment?
-
The treated fat tissue is removed through the body’s natural healing and elimination process, leaving you with a thinner, more contoured waistline.
How will I know if LipoHifu is the best treatment for me?
-
We evaluate you on a variety of factors to determine if LipoHifu is the right treatment for you, including amount of fat in the treatment area and your overall health.
How long does the treatment take?
-
A typical LipoHifu treatment for abdomen and flanks takes one hour.
Is LipoHifu treatment different from other fat reduction treatments?
-
Unlike some other fat reduction procedures that often require multiple treatments to see results, the LipoHifu treatment reduces your waistline by an average of 1 inch (2.5 cm), or about one dress or pant size, with a single one-hour treatment.
Does the LipoHifu procedure hurt?
-
As with most aesthetic treatments, patients have different tolerance for discomfort and may experience a range of responses. Some client's report only mild sensations during LipoHifu treatment while others have noted significant discomfort. We can immediately turn down the power or recommend pain medication to alleviate discomfort.
How much does LipoHifu cost?
-
LipoHifu pricing varies based on the size of the areas being treated. Since the LipoHifu platform allows you to customize the specific areas to be treated, we will work with you to determine your specific treatment plan and pricing.
What will happen after the LipoHifu treatment?
-
After treatment, patients may experience some discomfort (pain), bruising, redness and swelling, which are generally described as mild.
How many treatments will I need?
-
Unlike other fat reduction procedures, results are seen after one treatment in as little as eight to twelve weeks.
What is the difference between LipoHifu and Cryolipolysis?
-
While both devices are non-invasive options for fat reduction, there is one major difference. Cryolipolysis relies on the freezing of fat cells to destroy them, while LipoHifu uses high frequency ultrasound to heat and damage the fat tissue. LipoHifu does not "suck the skin up" into the device and gives a more uniform smoothness to the skin.
Will Lipo Hifu help me lose weight?
-
LipoHifu is not a weight loss procedure. Since it is only the fat cells being disrupted in LipoHifu you may not notice a significant loss in weight, but rather a loss in circumference inch(es). This improvement has helped motivate my patients to lose weight. I also offer weight loss prescription medications which have helped my patients lose up to 75 lbs.
