As I get older, metabolism rate seem to be slowing down exponentially & significantly :/ Fats start to gather more easily even though I spend the same amount of time ‘exercise’ (well, dance classes are a form of exercise, no?) and even try to walk around more often in office instead of sitting down the entire work day.
Colleagues/friends and I had spoken about liposuction but we are too cowardly to do it. Hee.
Same goes for other aesthetics procedures, as soon as one of us reminds gently of the pain level, all of us would “aww” and scrap off the idea. Well, for the day at least. And we’ll all be back to the same topic again the very next morning, haha.
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery operation that removes fat from many different sites on the human body mainly the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, to the neck, backs of the arms and so on. There are many limitations to the procedure, such as the amount of fats that can be removed in one session which leads to the need to undergo many sessions of surgeries, or ‘dents’ in the skin if the liposuction is not done properly, or even death if the operation goes wrong. I am sure we all remember the case of property firm owner Franklin Heng.
However, there is a new technique in the medical aesthetics market that is non-invasive yet effectively reduces the fats, specifically for the abdomen area – Liposonix.
Watch the introduction video here :)
The Liposonix system uses non-invasive, high-intensity focused ultrasound (or HIFU) to permanently get rid of targeted fat around the waistline, love handles and abdomen, WITHOUT surgery.
The non-invasive fat reduction system is approved by the U S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and was launched by Solta Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTM), a global leader in the medical aesthetics market, in June 2013.
Since its introduction in the U.S., Liposonix has been featured in many high profile media outlets, including broadcast programs such as Dr. Oz, The Doctors, and 20/20 with Barbara Walters. Thus far the Liposonix treatment has received very positive reviews from patients as reflected in on-line aesthetic procedure forums. The Liposonix system is currently marketed and sold in markets worldwide.
The focus of this innovation is that it is clinically proven to lose 1 inch around the circumferential waistline in just 1 treatment ^^
ONE session > ONE hour > ONE size smaller

Some common FAQs that can let you understand more of the system easily (:
How long have Liposonix treatments been available?
The Liposonix treatment has 10 years of research and testing behind its development. It has a well-defined safety profile during and after treatment with very good patient satisfaction. Treatments have been available in Europe, Japan and Canada for several years. It was available in the US starting in January 2012.
How does it work?
The Liposonix treatment uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy. It is the same energy source as diagnostic ultrasound, but it is designed to very precisely target specific areas with high energy to destroy fat cells.
How many treatments will I need?
The fat is permanently destroyed in just a single treatment.
Will the treatment leave an uneven or lumpy looking result?
Unlike many liposuction procedures, the Liposonix treatment produces smooth results due to its unique, advanced delivery technology. No cases of uneven or lumpy results have been reported.
Who can benefit from a Liposonix treatment?
The Liposonix treatment is ideal for active, healthy individuals who have at least 1 inch or 2.5 cm of fat to lose in their abdomen or flanks. It is non-invasive, so it is a great solution if you have stubborn fat but don’t want to have surgery.
When do the results appear, and how long do they last?
Most people see maximum results in 8 to 12 weeks. This is how long it takes for the body to naturally metabolize the destroyed fat tissue. The targeted cells are permanently destroyed, but surrounding fat cells can grow - the best way to maintain your results is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
What will I look like immediately after the procedure?
Since the treatment is non-invasive, there is little to no downtime, so you can resume your regular activities right away.
Does it hurt?
As with most aesthetic treatments, some patients may experience mild discomfort. During treatment, you may feel cold, prickling, tingling, warmth, mild discomfort, or pain. After treatment, you may have temporary redness, mild bruising, discomfort, and swelling. To increase your comfort, our staff will assess and determine what pain management, if any, is necessary for you.
Can I get a Liposonix treatment instead of liposuction?
The Liposonix treatment can help you lose one dress or pant size without surgery, but it won’t produce the same dramatic fat reduction associated with surgical liposuction.
How much does the Liposonix procedure cost?
The cost depends on the area you’re having treated. We encourage you to come in for a consultation at which point we can give you a more precise idea of the cost.
You may visit any of the branches stated below for a consultation! (:
*Niks Maple Clinic should be “Niks Maple Laser Clinic" instead :)
