Studies from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggest that radiofrequency/ultrasound lipolysis is most effective at reducing fat in the back and chest areas, but it can also be used on: • Stomach/abdomen • Waist • Hips/flanks (“love handles”) • Buttocks • Face • Neck and jawline • Upper arms • Thighs Although fat is ultimately removed from the body following treatment, it should be understood that non-surgical body sculpting is not intended as a weight loss solution. It is designed to slim and contour certain areas of the body that haven’t responded to the traditional weight loss methods of diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are at or close to their desired weight and with most body contouring procedures their body mass index should be no greater than 30.
