InUrSkn is more than just a skin a hair and body clinic. It is Dr. Sejal's promise of providing minimal intervention patient care which is holistic, personalized and humane.
Ultrasonic Lipolysis is a technology which uses, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound to target and destroy subcutaneous fat cells. Such HIFU energy is able to penetrate and affect only the deeper layers of the skin without affecting the superficial layers in any way.
This energy induces a controlled damage to the targeted fat cells in the adipose tissue by raising their temperature instantaneously. These destroyed fat cells are then disposed off by the body naturally through its lymphatic system over a period of 4 to 12 weeks.
This procedure has various names like u-lipo, HIFU fat reduction, ultrasonic liposuction, liposonix treatment, liposonic treatment etc.
Liposonic or U-lipo is for patients who have stubborn pinchable fat. This fat is called subcutaneous fat (fat that lies under the skin). Ultrasonic liposuction or liposonix treatment is not suitable for visceral fat (muscle fat) reduction.
The different body areas for which HIFU fat reduction is suitable is as follows:
We follow the below steps for ultrasonic lipolysis at InUrSkn:
1. After a detailed discussion with Dr. Sejal, the exact treatment areas are determined.
2. After this an aesthetician takes your body measurements, especially of the fat with a calliper.
3. The area to be treated is cleaned.
4. A cooling gel is applied on the treated area.
5. The HIFU machine is then set for the correct depth, intensity and frequency.
6. The liposonic probe is then placed in contact with the skin and the HIFU energy is triggered.
7. This causes a feeling of heat and mild discomfort in the deeper layers of the skin.
8. The aesthetician then proceeds to complete treatment of the entire target area.
9. The entire procedure takes between 30 and 45 minutes based on the area being treated.
10. On completion of treatment the residual cooling gel is cleaned off.
It is also important to have correct expectations from the procedure. This procedure is not a replacement for healthy lifestyle choices like exercising and eating healthy. Also this procedure does not aid in weight loss, it aids only fat loss or inch loss.
One should ideally have at least 1 inch of fat (as measured with fat callipers) for liposonic treatment.
The patients needs to take the below precautions when it comes to cryolipolysis:
– The patients should not carry out intense exercise on the day of the treatment and for one week after the treatment.
– For a week after the treatment the treated area should not be subject to massages and heating like saunas and steam treatments,
– Avoid any direct sun exposure of the treated area for 48 hours.
– The treated area may get redness and swelling which will settle by itself in 2 to 3 days.
– Apply the prescribed ointment or cream for 2 days, as directed by the doctor.
Immediately after the procedure the treated area may develop some redness and become slightly sore. This is the desired outcome and the same settles automatically in the next 2 to 3 hours.
Sometimes the redness may persist for upto two weeks, but the same also subsides by itself.
The body starts disposing of the destroyed fat cells through its lymphatic system over the next 4 to 8 weeks and the patient can expect to see a reduction in subcutaneous fat over the next 3 to 6 months.
One can expect a 20 to 25% reduction in fat in the treated area after one session. The next session can be repeated after three month at minimum.
A liposonix or liposonic probe is designed in such a way that when it is kept in contact with the surface of the skin it affects only the subcutaneous fat cells in the adipose tissue while leaving the upper and deeper layers of skin unaffected.
The high intensity focused ultrasound energy raises the temperature of the fat cells which destroys them.
As the fat cells get damaged, these are cleared from the body by our lymphatic system. The lymphatic system of the body is the system responsible for removal of waste from cells. This process of disposal takes multiple weeks to get rid of all the damaged fat cells and lipids, leading to a gradual but definite fat loss.

Ultrasound Lipolysis procedures are non invasive in nature and also localized and hence have limited chances of adverse reactions.
Immediately after the treatment the patient may feel that the treated area has turned reddish and a little swollen, but the same automatically subsides in 2 to 3 hours.
One may experience a mild redness, soreness and swelling of the area for a period of up to four weeks. This may also be accompanied by a mild sensation of pain in the treated area. But the same resolves by itself.
Other complications associated with u-lipo fat reduction techniques are very rare and not normally encountered.
Yes. The results of liposonic treatment is permanent, provided that one follows a regular diet and does not depend on liposonix fat reduction alone for fat loss. Any negative changes in diet like eating excessive fatty foods or high calorie foods adversely affects the ultrasonic lipolysis results.
Liposuction works by surgically removing the subcutaneous fats and is a more drastic and dangerous procedure. Ultrasonic Lipolysis is a non invasive procedure that uses HIFU energy and body’s own lymphatic system to get rid of fat cells. The results are not as pronounced and quick as liposuction.
The procedure can be repeated at a minimum interval of 1 month. Dr. Sejal sometimes recommends a wait of 1.5 months between treatments on the same area.
One can carry out multiple treatments spaced 1.5 months apart, as long as there is adequate fat in the area being treated.
One may need 2 to 3 treatments based on their specific condition and needs.
Liposonic treatment has universal appeal, but certain people should not engage in it:
1. People with visceral fat and not subcutaneous fat
2. People who are unwilling to wait 4 months for results and expect immediate results
3. People who have lax or loose skin.
4. People who do not have a minimum of 1 inch of subcutaneous fat
Ultrasound Fat Reduction Therapy is for the purpose of reducing subcutaneous fat. It has practically no effect on the body weight of individuals. This is because fat is extremely volumetric and bulky as compared to muscles. That is fat takes up a lot of space but weighs very little. So even if a lot of fat is eliminated you will see a substantial reduction in size (inch loss) but not adequate reduction in body weight.
