Lipocel HIFU Treatment for Fat Reduction

Lipocel is the latest non-invasive body contouring HIFU system. Utilising state-of-the-art advanced contact cooling technology, Lipocel is able to reduce the pain in the epidermal and nerve area, making it possible to have higher energy delivery to the treatment areas.

The contact cooling of lipocel is a huge breakthrough in the use of focused ultrasound. The technology and system using heat energy is a completely bearable and extremely effective treatment for the breakdown of fat cells. The contact cooling system effectively maintains the handpiece surface temperature at a comfortable 5oC. Therefore, the skin is protected, reducing pain. In this way, a more effective result can be obtained because higher energy can be delivered to the treatment area. A wider area of ultrasound emission and a quick movement of the transducer handpiece will enable even faster and more efficient treatment.

What is Lipocel HIFU System?

Lipocel employs a very precise technology that delivers energy specifically to the subcutaneous layer of fat. It increases the temperature of the fat cells to over 70oC. Because this procedure does not require anaesthesia, the whole treatment procedure can be completed with 30 minutes, which is faster than other fat removal technologies.

The Lipocel treatment is designed to treat areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to regular exercise and diet. The common focal areas are the tummy, flanks, underarms, back thighs and knees. Lipocel is very effective for treating smaller areas of fatty deposits that cannot be treated by suction type technologies such as cryolipolysis.

Please note that as with other fat removal treatments, Lipocel is not a treatment for obesity. It is a body-contouring treatment and is not designed as a weight loss programme. In addition, in order to optimise the results from the treatments, patients are advised to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, with a good exercise regime and healthy diet plan.

Potential side effects include possible swelling and sensitivity in the treated area. Besides that, there is also a possibility of hyperpigmentation, tingling numbness, itching, and surface irregularities after treatment. All these symptoms are temporary, and will disappear by themselves after a while.

The Advantages of Lipocel Treatment

Since Lipocel is a non-invasive treatment, no anaesthetic is required, and the treatment will incur practically no downtime. The treatment duration is approximately one hour. It is a quick treatment which can be completed even during lunchtime.

Another major advantage of Lipocel is that the HIFU energy also causes skin tightening, which creates a smooth result after the treatment.
