Liposonix is a minimally invasive nonsurgical procedure that involves the use of high-energy, ultra sound to dissolve fat in targeted areas. Despite exercise and diet, some stubborn fatty deposits can remain, such as “love handles” in the waist area, protruding stomachs, chunky thighs and expanding waistlines. Liposonix can effectively and non-invasively dissolve the fat in these problem areas. Dr. Sofonio, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, offers Liposonix procedures to residents of Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, CA.
When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Sofonio will examine you to determine if you are a good candidate for a Liposonix procedure. Good candidates are people in good health with moderate weight - Liposonix is not a weight-reduction procedure. Dr. Sofonio will also ask you about your medical history and expectations from the Liposonix treatment. During the procedure, he will place the Liposonix applicator on the treatment area and activate it to emit bursts of energy. This energy will dissolve unwanted fat in target areas. The Liposonix system works in conjunction with the body’s natural metabolic process to destroy the fat tissue.
Side effects from Liposonix procedures are negligible and may include some swelling, bruising, and redness. Dr. Sofonio will instruct you on the appropriate post-treatment care following a Liposonix procedure.
The outcome of a Liposonix treatment is a shapelier, more streamlined waist, thigh, or additional area. Liposonix is meant for moderate fat reduction; for removal of more fatty deposits liposuction should be considered.
