~ Few body contouring devices have FDA clearance ~ Most radiofrequency devices for body contouring require four to eight treatments The growing array of body-contouring devices offers perhaps more similarities than differences in terms of treatment regimens and results, said Miles H. Graivier, M.D., at the 2011 American Society of Plastic Surgeons annual meeting. ~~ Only the following devices have full FDA approval for body contouring The CoolSculpting procedure (Zeltiq), which uses cryolipolysis and is approved for temporary cellulite reduction, along with providing skin cooling and anesthetic properties; The LipoSonix system (Solta Medical), which was recently approved by the FDA for noninvasive waist circumference reduction; VelaShape (Syneron), which uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, infrared light, plus vacuum suction and mechanical rollers and is cleared for temporary reduction in thigh circumference and appearance of cellulite; Zerona (Erchonia), which uses low-level light therapy (LLLT) and is approved for temporary circumferential reduction in the waist, hips and thighs.

A body contouring device comprising a base seat, a powered disc, a protective board, a pedal seat and a plurality of steel balls is disclosed......................liposuction pricing.

Hello Dr Labrador! Thank you for summarizing the FDA cleared Body contouring methods! Would like to add Vaser Lipo (Sound surgical Technologies) which was FDA approved in March 2001!

I came here to expand my knowledge about plastic surgery and share my knowledge on liposuction
