Technology
High Intensity Focused
Ultrasound (HIFU)
Patented monopolar delivery enables RF energy to penetrate
deep into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue to tighten existing
collagen and stimulate new growth.
Non-invasive fat reduction system utilizing state-of-the-art
HIFU to permanently destroy subcutaneous adipose tissue
and provide Custom Contouring capabilities. Intended use
and indications for use: The Liposonix system delivers HIFU
energy that can disrupt subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT)
to provide a non-invasive approach to body contouring to
achieve a desired aesthetic effect.
CE cleared. FDA cleared for
non-invasive Tx of wrinkles and
rhytides; incl. upper / lower eyelids;
temporary improvement in
appearance of cellulite (with vibration).
CE cleared. FDA cleared. U.S.:
Indicated for non-invasive waist
circumference reduction (i.e.,
abdomen and flanks). E.U.: Indicated
for trunk and lower extremities
excluding the lower leg (i.e., abdomen,
flanks, hips, thighs and buttocks).
Canada: Indicated for abdomen,
flanks, hips, thighs and buttocks.

Radial Acoustic Wave (AWT)
High energy planar acoustic waves with deep penetration
effect in subcutaneous tissue for body shaping such as
cellulite treatment, fat mobilization, striae, scars, wrinkles,
post-liposuction treatment, lymphatic congestion, muscle
and connective tissue relaxation.
Radial acoustic waves effectively treat cellulite, connective
tissue weakness and wrinkles by improving metabolic activity,
microcirculation and stimulation of collagen production.

VDF – Single focus and multifocus
ultrasound. RF – Up to
50 W and Vacuum
Vela product line combines four technologies including IR,
bi-polar RF and mechanical tissue manipulation using pulsed
vacuum and massage rollers. IR combined with vacuum coupled
RF technologies cause deep heating of the connective
tissue including the fibrous septae, which promotes increased
collagen depositing and cellular metabolism resulting in localized
reduction of skin laxity and volume. Additional mechanical
tissue manipulation causes an immediate increase in circulation
and lymphatic drainage, both essential components for
healthy skin structure.
Same as above.
UltraShape V3 emits acoustic waves of ultrasonic energy
that converge into a confined focal volume, targeting only
subcutaneous fat at a controlled depth. UltraShape V3’s
energy uniquely transmits pulsed ultrasound, allowing control
over temperature elevation (less than 0.5° C increase) and
enabling fat destruction to occur instantly, selectively and
mechanically (non-thermal). For additional skin laxity and cellulite
reduction an RF treatment is offered using the bi-polar
RF applicator.

Viora Reaction Bi-Polar RF and Vacuum
Therapy
Combines bi-polar RF and vacuum therapy. CORE technology
features three RF frequencies suitable for deep, middle
and superficial Tx. Addt’l. fourth dimension allows for
multi-frequency mode concentrating all three RF frequencies
in one pulse. Tailored vacuum levels and RF energy provide
patient comfort and efficacy.
CE cleared. FDA cleared.
