UltraShape®
is an innovative, non-invasive procedure in cosmetic dermatology to enhance someone’s body contour. This unique, FDA cleared procedure involves the use of pulsed ultrasound technology to break down unwanted fat cells, and restore a slimmer, improved appearance in the targeted area. Among various non-surgical skin care and fat reduction treatments, UltraShape® has emerged as one of the safest and most effective items on the menu.

During the initial consultation, the UltraShape® treatment provider will discuss all aspects of the procedure, and may make use of UltraShape® before and after photographs. The first goal is to ensure that the patient makes an informed choice about the procedure. Dr. Steven Zimmet is a leading dermatologist providing UltraShape® treatment to patients in Austin, TX and surrounding communities.

What are UltraShape® Before and After Pictures?

Before and after pictures in case of UltraShape® refer to images belonging to an earlier patient who has undergone the same procedure with satisfactory outcomes. The images are taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure at a stage when full effects are visible. The dermatology expert will take the pictures with the patient’s consent and present them before new patients in a discreet way.

The only purpose of the treatment provider is to use these photos to educate new patients about various aspects of UltraShape®. It is important to ensure that new patients understand what the procedure can or cannot do for them. UltraShape® ‘before and after’ photos will serve as a useful tool in this regard. As an experienced dermatologist, Dr. Zimmet receives patients from Austin, TX and nearby locations for this procedure.

Advantages

When a new patient is considering a non-invasive fat reduction alternative such as UltraShape®, they may not have a clear idea of how and to what extent the procedure may help improve their body contours. Some patients may need only minor improvement with a single treatment session in a particular area of the body, while others may need multiple treatment sessions in two or more areas.

In some cases, the treatment provider may recommend UltraShape® in combination with another surgical or non-surgical procedure to meet the patient’s aesthetic goals. In all such situations, patient may find it difficult to make the right choices. This is where UltraShape® before and after photos can prove to be beneficial and help the patient make the best decisions for themselves and germane to their objectives.

Forming Realistic Expectations

One of the pre-requisites to success in any aesthetic procedure is that the patient should have a positive state of mind, clear aesthetic priorities and realistic expectations. With the help of UltraShape® before and after photos, the dermatologist can ensure the patient knows exactly what to expect and what not to expect from the procedure. Patients with realistic expectations will typically achieve higher satisfaction levels and could avoid a stressful situation between the doctor and the patient.

Photos on the Website

The dermatologist has the option to upload UltraShape® before and after photos on their practice website. This can enable new patients to simply review the pictures online in the privacy of their home or office, and then make up their mind regarding visiting the dermatologist’s office for a consultation.

New non-invasive skin cancer test put to the test

Laser Doppler probe is placed over a skin malignant melanoma. Researchers have developed a new non–invasive technique which can accurately detect malignant melanoma without a biopsy. The report, published online in Nature Scientific Reports, showed that a special technique using a laser to detect the subtle differences in blood flow beneath the skin enabled researchers to tell the difference between malignant melanoma and non–cancerous moles. During the study, led by Lancaster University and Pisa University in Italy, 55 patients with atypical moles agreed to have their skin monitored by researchers at Pisa University Hospital using a laser Doppler system. The laser Doppler was used to record the complex interactions taking place in the minute blood vessels beneath their suspicious mole for around 30 minutes. The fluctuations in recorded signals were then analysed using methods developed by physicists at Lancaster University. The patients in the study then went on to have their moles biopsied and the results were compared with the information obtained – noninvasively – using the laser Doppler scan. The laser Doppler signal correctly identified 100% of the patients with malignant skin.

Body Contouring |Fat Reduction | UltraShape® | Non Invasive | Austin TXUltraShape® is an FDA clear, non-invasive procedure based on pulsed ultrasound technology to reduce unwanted fat pockets and restore more attractive body contours. During the initial consultation, the cosmetic dermatology expert will discuss various aspects of UltraShape®, including its estimated costs. The goal is to help the patient make an informed decision.

Dr. Steven Zimmet is a well-known medical and cosmetic dermatologist providing state of the art skin care and aesthetic procedures, including UltraShape®. Dr. Zimmet receives patients from Austin, TX and neighboring areas.

Average Price Tag

The cost of UltraShape® procedure can vary significantly between two patients or two practices, depending on several factors. According to the leading review website RealSelf.com, the average stipulated price tag of UltraShape® at present is $2,325. While some dermatology experts may charge around $1,500 per session for one area, some others may charge in the range of $1,200.

In many cases, the dermatologist may recommend three treatment sessions spaced two to four weeks apart in order to achieve optimal results. In such cases, a package price may be offered, which could range from $3,000 to $4,000, depending on the treatment area and the extent fat reduction involved.

Factors Affecting the Cost

Geographical factors will influence the dollar figure of any invasive or non-invasive aesthetic procedure, including UltraShape®. The price tag for living in coastal regions and main urban centers is typically higher as compared to smaller cities and towns in the country. Therefore, the dollar amount of UltraShape® in Austin, TX, may not necessarily be the same as the price tag of the same procedure in, say, Orlando, FL.

While UltraShape® is a non-invasive procedure, but it must be performed only by a certified, tremendous, and trained treatment provider, preferably at a reputed dermatology office. If someone is offering an exceptionally low cost, it must alert the patient to evaluate their quality of services and any hidden costs involved.

In some cases, the dermatologist may recommend UltraShape® treatment in combination with another non-invasive or invasive procedure, depending on the patient’s personal needs and goals. The monetary figure will vary accordingly as per the treatment plan finalized in consultation with the patient.

Cost Comparison with Surgery

Fat reduction plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction can monetary amount substantially higher in comparison to a non-surgical treatment such as UltraShape®. In case of surgery, the patient must also account for additional expenditures in the form of medical tests, prescription drugs, surgical garments, and post-op visits to the surgeon’s office.

The surgical procedure is usually performed with the patient under general anesthesia or IV sedation, which will affect your bank account significantly. Most patients will have to take time off from work, which may also become a part of the overall financial sacrifice. All such expenses are avoided in a non-invasive, in-office procedure such as UltraShape®.

Insurance and Financing

UltraShape® will usually not be covered under health insurance, but most patients will have the opportunity to get the treatment financed. Professional medical finance companies provide compassionate finance at low interest rates and convenient terms. Patients can also explore other options such as asking for some help from the family, credit card extended payments, crowd funding, and a bank loan.

Benefits

UltraShape® is a non-invasive alternative to reduce localized fat deposits as well as cut down the body circumference to a more desirable level.

  • Clinically proven technology for instant, selective, and permanent destruction of fat cells.
  • Regular, homogeneous fat reduction throughout the treated area.
  • Minimal or no swelling, bruising, or downtime involved.
  • Patient comfort is maintained throughout the treatment.
  • Long-lasting, measurable results in just a few weeks.
  • Superior patient satisfaction in most cases with no reported adverse events or side effects.

How does it Work?

UltraShape® treatment is based on ultrasound energy and makes use of a unique energy delivery system to reach the targeted fat pockets precisely and evenly. The focused beams of ultrasound energy will precisely converge into a limited focal volume, and target only the unwanted subcutaneous fat at a controlled depth. The surrounding healthy tissue and muscle remain unaffected by the process.

The ultrasound energy is delivered in pulses or short bursts, which yields a mechanical non-thermal impact that only targets tissue most vulnerable to mechanical disruption. This allows the muscles, nerves and blood vessels to remain safe and intact during the treatment.

Unlike traditional ultrasound treatments, UltraShape® energy is transmitted in pulses. This enables control over temperature increase (below 0.5 degree Celsius elevation). As a result, fat destruction takes place instantly, selectively, and in a non-thermal manner.
