Frequently Asked Questions
How does UltraSlim work?
This procedure uses a unique red light system to target fat deposits under the skin. It's patented system "tricks" the mitochondria within the nucleus of the fat cell into creating a hole in its protective membranes. Once this hole forms, the fatty substances that are normally stored in the fat cell leave and the liberated emulsified fat is then picked up by the lymphatic system and processed by the liver as part of the body’s normal course of detoxification. The transitory pore in the fat cell will close in about 48-72 hours and the liberated contents will be expelled in the patient’s stool and urine over the next few days.
​
This same red light also causes your skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin, which results in smoother, tighter skin, and a reduction of fine wrinkles and stretch marks, ultimately leading to an amazing younger appearance.
What can I expect during a session?
You are comfortably positioned on a table and the UltraSlim® red LED panel is aimed at each stubborn fat area for 8 minutes. Based on your specific goals, sessions customarily range from 32 minutes to 1 hour. Once completed, you’re provided a complimentary 10 minute Whole Body Vibration Massage (WBV) which naturally speeds up the metabolism, stimulates lymphatic drainage and enhances waste elimination.
Post treatment follow-up:
For optimal results we recommend doing light to moderate exercise daily to continue to stimulate the lymphatic system and flush out excess fat from your system. Also, drink lots of water and refrain from dehydrating drinks like alcohol and caffeine. We recommend a compression garment to help reshape your body while the liquefied fat is being excreted.
Is UltraSlim safe?
UltraSlim is completely safe and there aren’t any reported side effect. It's the only fat reduction system that can make this claim while getting proven immediate results. Other methods like Coolsculpting® and SculpSure®, or very invasive ones like liposuction, do carry small to medium risks, including pain or unintended dysmorphic bumps and bulges. Ultraslim will not do that and can in fact, improve the disfigurement from other procedures.
Is UltraSlim for everyone?
No. UltraSlim should not be used by pregnant women or individuals with active cancer.
Do some people respond better than others?
Yes. Patients with a higher metabolic rate are better able to excrete the fat cell contents and enjoy better results. However, UltraSlim works for patients of all ages and skin types.
What results can I expect from UltraSlim?
This system can reduce inches from your body while tightening your skin. You get immediate results that you can see and feel. On average, you lose 1.6 liters of fat and roughly 3.5 inches in the treated area after your first session. It's non-invasive, painless, and you can resume normal activities immediately. Over the following week, you can expect your body to lose more fat as your shape contours, and the skin tightens. Other similar procedures can take 12 weeks to see full results.
How long will it last?
Once your fat has been liquefied and excreted out of your body, that fat removal is permanent. But you can gain new fat by eating more calories than you burn. Just like anything else, to keep it, you have to maintain it! We will guide you on the best way to maintain your new look.
