New Jersey physician offers FDA-approved non-invasive fat reduction treatment

Sep 23 2014

Arthur W. Perry, MD, FACS, a New Jersey based board-certified plastic surgeon, is the first physician in the Central New Jersey region to offer UltraShape™, a revolutionary treatment recently FDA cleared for Fat Cell Destruction.

The UltraShape System, developed by medical device leader Syneron Candela, is the first and only non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses pulsed focused ultrasound to immediately and comfortably destroy fat cells, showing results in as little as two weeks.

The UltraShape device works by emitting waves of focused pulsed ultrasonic energy, converging at a small area where patients want to target stubborn fat. Ultrasound is comfortably delivered to the treatment area, without damaging surrounding tissue, nerves and muscles. Fat cells are destroyed and eliminated by the body's natural processes as soon as two weeks after treatment, causing a visible and immediate reduction.

"Each UltraShape treatment is customized with incredible accuracy to target and destroy fat cells immediately. That means if you have a little fat deposit near a bigger one, I can reduce both of them," states Dr. Perry. "Nothing works faster than UltraShape to provide a quick, safe and comfortable treatment experience without discomfort, lumps, bumps or soreness associated with many other non-invasive fat reduction treatments. Usually three treatments at two-week intervals are required. The average person has their fat reduced 1.3 to 2.5 inches." Treatments take less than an hour and patients can go right back to their normal activities without any disruption. "The amazing thing about this new technology is that it really does work. The results are not subtle." Dr. Perry thinks that UltraShape will replace liposuction in many patients and it allows many people who are not candidates for surgery to contour their bodies noninvasively.

In a clinical study of UltraShape, 150 people were followed for up to 4 months after UltraShape. Ninety four percent saw a measurable circumferential reduction.

UltraShape is effective for the reduction of fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is FDA cleared for fat cell destruction and is used to contour and improve body shape. It has been used in over 300,000 procedures worldwide, with an excellent safety and efficacy profile.
