Introduction: There are several techniques for the treatment of the body’s contour.The
vast majority, however, are not very effective.We report our experience in the use of
focused ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat in 120 patients.
Methods: 120 patients underwent 2 or 3 focused ultrasound sessions with 4-week intervals.
The abdomen, hips, thighs, dorsum and infragluteal fold were the treated areas.
Results: After treatment, there was an average reduction of 4.95, 4.88 and 3 cm in the
circumference of the abdomen, hips and thighs, respectively.
Conclusion: Focused ultrasound is a safe, effective and well tolerated procedure for
remodelling areas of the body.
