UK research centre for Liposonix - Ultrasound Fat Reduction

We are delighted to have received confirmation of Ethics committee approval today for our research project into the efficacy of the Liposonix ultrasound fat removal system - also called "Non-invasive liposuction" or "Ultrasound Liposlysis" (see below for link to explain more about the Liposonix system.

We are performing the research through Absolute Aesthetics, the Aesthetic division of The Whiteley Clinic.

There are international 5 centres involved in this research project, with Absolute Aesthetics at The Whiteley Clinic being selected as the UK centre.

Liposonix - New ideas with non-invasive liposuction

On Saturday evening I sat on the Liposonix Advisory Board in Berlin.

We had a very interesting discussion between the main users of the Liposonix system in Europe.

There does seem to be some variation in the methods that different clinics use - and this is to be expected when using such a new technique.

The discussions we had between the expert users and the company scientists, and the shared experiences that the expert users have had, have lead to a great many new ideas on how to make the treatments more comfortable and more effective.

We are now introducing some new research through Absolute Aesthetics at The Whiteley Clinic to make sure the treatments that we provided are optimised to give the best possible results from this exciting new technique.

Liposonix in Berlin; LSA and EVLA in Romania

I have been rushing around the place - hence the poor number of entries on the Blog.

Having given 2 guest lectures in Timisoara, Romania the previous week - one on EVLA (Endo Venous Laser Ablation for Varicose Veins) and one on LSA (Laser Sweat Ablation for Axillary Hyperhidrosis - arm-pit sweating) I then went to run my clinic in Ibiza last weekend.

Today I am flying to Berlin and tomorrow have been asked to speak about out early results and experiences with Liposonix - the Ultrasound fat removal device (www.ultrasoundliposuction.co.uk).

In addition, on the charity side, the India 2010 Charity Auction has been looking better and better. We are going to be having it on 12th November at the Talbot in Ripley - with Alvin Stardust as the guest auctioneer and singing by his wife - Jules. We have some wonderful donations to auction - see www.india-2010.co.uk.

New information about Liposonix - Ultrasound Fat Removal

We introduced Liposonix fat removal to our clinic last week and have just had our first two patients come back for their one week follow-up.

Both of them said the treatment itself was mildly uncomfortable - but not anywhere near as bad as any surgery. Both were able to go back to work the next day and - using our perioperative process to reduce pain and bruising - both stopped wearing the compression after a few days.

Both have a few small bruises only on the lower abdomen.

Both patients also said the treated area feels softer, as there is "fluid" under the skin. They are both also passing more urine than usual - presumably the effect of passing the broken down fat out of the body. This is called an "osmotic diuresis".

Using some sophisticated measuring devices at Absolute Aesthetics and The Whiteley Clinic, we have also found out some very useful information showing how effective the Liposonix treatment is. We will keep collecting our figures from our patients and so we will be able to publish our success rates and also some of the science related to getting good results.

Liposonix - ultrasound removal of Fat without any incisions

I am thrilled to announce that we are getting a Liposonix machine at Absolute Aesthetics - the Aesthetics division of The Whiteley Clinic.

The Liposonix machine dissolves fat away using ultrasound only. There is no need of any surgery, cuts or anaesthetic.
