Maryland Laser Skin and Vein is the First Practice in Maryland to Offer the Newly FDA-Cleared UltraShape® for Non Surgical Fat Cell Disruption
Hunt Valley, MD (PRWEB) April 23, 2014 -- Doctors Robert Weiss, MD, Margaret Weiss, MD and Karen Beasley, MD are now the first practice in all of Maryland to offer the recently FDA-cleared UltraShape system from Syneron. The UltraShape system is the latest innovation in non-surgical fat reduction. By adding this newest technology, the board certified dermatologists at Maryland Laser Skin and Vein Institute continue to have the widest selection of non-surgical fat reducing devices on all of the east coast.
Syneron announced on Monday, April 14, 2014, that they received 510(k) clearance to market the UltraShape System for non-invasive reduction of abdominal circumference via fat cell destruction. The UltraShape System works differently from other devices, as it uses pulse focused ultrasound energy to selectively target subcutaneous fat, while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. Unlike other fat reducing devices, UltraShape uses mechanical energy to target fat cell reduction without causing thermal injury.
“The UltraShape System adds to our already robust armamentarium of fat reduction devices,” stated Dr. Robert Weiss, co-director at Maryland Laser Skin and Vein Institute. “The inclusion of the UltraShape in our practice allows us to treat nearly each problem area for fat reduction.”
One of the distinct advantages of the UltraShape System is the speed and efficiency in which the treatments work. Measurable results can be seen in as few as two weeks. The complete treatment protocol for UltraShape is only four weeks long, involving three treatments at two-week intervals.
“The UltraShape System is able to target fat cells and mechanically disrupt them, allowing for visible reduction in abdominal fat,” said Dr. Karen Beasley. “With a 94% patient satisfaction rate in clinical studies, we at Maryland Laser Skin and Vein feel confident the UltraShape System is a safe and effective treatment modality for our patients seeking a trimmer stomach.”
Maryland Laser Skin and Vein is able to treat all types of body contouring candidates with various devices at the practice. The UltraShape System accompanies other fat reduction devices at Maryland Laser Skin and Vein Institute, including Exilis, CoolSculpting® and Vanquish.
