Sunday Times Article - Mark Whiteley quoted

Mark Whiteley was quoted today in the Sunday Times (The Sunday Times, 6th March 2011, Page 7 - "Chill out, chubby: ultrasound and freezing to end yo-yo diets").

Mark and his colleague, Vicki Smith director of Absolute Aesthetics, have been the UK centre for a multi-centre international trial of Liposonix over the last year.

Liposonix is a HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) machine that has been designed to destroy fat deposits on the abdomen non-invasively. It is not used for removing large mounts of fat - only dieting or liposuction will do that. However for stubborn areas of fat on the belly, or for love handles, the HIFU can be used to destroy these fat cells and therefore allow body countouring.

Mark Whiteley has been investigating the use of Liposonix for over a year and has presented his work at IMCAS in Paris in 2010 and recently at The Royal Society of Medicine (see earlier in this blog).
