Quick answerLiposuction surgically removes a large volume of fat through small incisions and needs anaesthesia and weeks of recovery. Liposonix uses focused ultrasound to destroy a smaller amount of stubborn fat in one non-invasive session, with no downtime and results over 8 to 12 weeks. Liposonix suits people near their goal weight; liposuction suits larger volumes.

How each works
Liposuction suctions fat out through a thin cannula. Liposonix directs focused ultrasound into the fat layer, destroying fat cells that the body clears naturally.
Choosing
- A small, stubborn bulge and no wish for surgery: Liposonix
- Larger areas or significant volume: a surgical consultation
- Loose skin too: consider skin tightening alongside
Keeping results
Both remove fat cells from the treated area, but remaining fat cells can still grow with weight gain. A steady lifestyle keeps the shape.
Questions people ask
Is Liposonix permanent?

Does Liposonix hurt?
You feel deep heat and tingling; most tolerate it well.
Can I return to work the same day?
