Rejuvenate and Restore
Have you ever looked in the mirror and realized you have aged? You don’t want your picture taken — and you certainly don’t think you need surgery.
Sun damage and the aging process can wreak havoc on your skin — manifest as wrinkles, frown lines, sagging and dark spots. Fortunately, there are now a host of cosmetic treatment options to restore health and beauty to your skin without the risks, high cost, discomfort and long recovery time of plastic surgery.

UltraShape Power for Non-Invasive Fat Destruction
You visit the gym religiously, eat right and live an active lifestyle, but nearly everyone has one problem area that defies progress…
Body contouring — non-invasive fat reduction procedures — can treat problem areas safely and with no discomfort or recovery time. Unlike surgical options such as liposuction, UltraShape Power’s hand-held transducer is positioned on bulges of fat. Pulsating, focused ultrasound energy then causes immediate fat tissue destruction for noticeable, long-lasting results.
At the forefront of medical advancement, the UltraShape Power procedure can be customized for individual body areas and body shapes. The results are fast and visible, your fat cells are destroyed and begin to leave the body through urination, without any harm to your skin or surrounding tissue and organs. Reducing belly circumference, eliminating love handles, slimming down arms or thighs, UltraShape Power breaks down fat cells without heat production, so the procedure is comfortable. And while multiple passes are administered, the average treatment takes no more than 45 minutes to complete (three treatment sessions total). Results will improve significantly after each treatment. An UltraShape Power treatment can be performed during a lunchbreak, with no fear of returning to work afterwards. Isn’t it time you loved every part of your body?

It is also safe for pregnant or nursing mothers.
