Slim Your Arms with Liposonix (Review)

2/10/2016

Slimming your arms or spot reduction is not easy, and for me, I have been battling big "bye bye" arms for the longest of time - I don't remember having skinny arms at all. In fact, I have tried many different methods, including exercise, to try to slim my arms down. Cream, mesotherapy, you name it, I have probably tried it.

So what prompted me to try Liposonix? I was in despair and wanted to try cool sculpting as I had read about how effective it is. I went to EHA Clinic and was so lucky to have met Dr Elias Tam. Dr Elias Tam was my consulting doctor and he mentioned that cool sculpting would not work on my arms as my arms were too big to fit properly into the applicator and I should opt for Liposonix instead, which will "melt" the fat away with ultrasound and if I felt that my arms were still too big, I could later use cool sculpting. There's a page on his site that tells you more about these two procedures.

So what is Doctor Elias Tam from EHA Clinic doing to my arm?

It is $300 per square for the treatment, and right here, he is marking the number of squares needed for each arm. 
​
I was intrigued and asked a lot of questions about the treatment, unsure of what to expect. His Liposonix machine is the original, and the ultrasound energy emitted is far higher than that of what slimming centers use, hence the need for precises squares.

According to Dr Elias Tam, the Liposonix system uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to destroy targeted subcutaneous fat and deliver uniform, predictable results after a  quick one hour treatment.

What was important to me was actually how fast the results would be. It would take 8 - 12 weeks in order for the arms to actually be slimmer, as that is the time taken for our body to process the treated fat and remove it from our system naturally.

How Does Liposonix Work?

LipoSonix uses a special technology termed as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to cause the death of fat cells safely and very effectively. Focusing the ultrasound energy of LipoSonix about 1-2 cm below the surface of the skin, the fat cells under the skin is "burned" away. Focusing the energy below the surface of the skin helps to avoid burns or trauma to the skin and this also makes the treatment more comfortable.

However, it is very common to see bruises form on the same day or a few days after, and some may feel pain during the treatment.
