Ultimate Contour Chicago
WHAT IS ULTIMATE CONTOUR?
Ultimate Contour is a non-invasive procedure that is intended to change the appearance of the treatment area by using ultrasound and/or radio frequency (RF) energy to provide ultrasound lipolysis and uniform deep tissue heating for skin tightening and the temporary reduction of the appearance of cellulite. There is little or no downtime associated with this treatment. Ultimate Contour is not a weight-loss solution and it does not replace traditional methods such as diet, exercise.
HOW DOES ULTIMATE CONTOUR GET RID OF FAT CELLS?
Ultimate Contour is the only FDA cleared low frequency ultrasound device. The low frequency ultrasound sends a disruptive vibration that breaks apart fat cells. Voids and pockets are introduced that mechanically rupture the fat cell membranes. Once disrupted, the contents are eliminated from the body naturally.
HOW DOES ULTIMATE CONTOUR TIGHTEN SKIN?
Ultimate Contour uses radio frequency energy to heat the deeper, collagen rich layers of the skin. The applied heat causes collagen to contract, and encourages new collagen and elastin resulting in the reduction of skin laxity, creating smoother skin.
HOW DOES ULTIMATE CONTOUR REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF CELLULITE?
Cellulite is typically driven by genetics, body fat percentage, skin thickness and age. You cannot eliminate cellulite permanently, but you can reduce the appearance of cellulite! Ultimate Contour is FDA-cleared for the reduction in appearance of cellulite. The treatment targets the deposits of fat under the skin, tightens tissues and increases blood circulation to help reduce the appearance of cellulite over time.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ULTIMATE CONTOUR?

Ultimate Contour low frequency Ultrasound is FD Cleared for abdominal circumference reduction in candidates with the BMI of 25 or greater. Ultimate Contour is not a weight-loss solution and it does not replace traditional methods such as diet, exercise.
WHAT DOES THE ULTIMATE CONTOUR ULTRASOUND TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?
A typical abdomen will be segmented into 4 quadrants or treatment areas. Next a gel is applied to lubricate the area and to improve energy absorption. A hand piece will then be applied the skin, working across the treatment area. You may experience redness of the skin but typically that disappears within a few hours. Most patients report feeling no pain during the treatment and no downtime following the treatment. Patients will hear an internal ringing sound during the application of the ultrasound energy. This is completely normal and patients tend to get used the sound. The patient can return to workouts and daily activity immediately after the treatment.
WHAT DOES THE ULTIMATE CONTOUR RADIO FREQUENCY TREATMENT FELL LIKE?
Ultimate Contour Multi-polar RF provides even subdermal tissue heating. Common treatment areas include arms, thighs, knees and, have been described as a gentle hot stone massage.
HOW LONG IS EACH TREATMENT AND HOW MANY WILL I NEED?
Each ultrasound treatment lasts from 20-40 minutes based on the patients BMI. Patients typically receive 4-6 ultrasound treatments spaced 1-2 weeks apart to achieve desired results.
Radio Frequency treatments last from 10-15 minutes per treatment area.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
For fat loss, you may start to see changes immediately following the treatment, some patients see a full inch reduction after just one session. However, the full effects typically take 6-8 weeks from the first treatment for the body to fully process the destroyed fat cells. Best results are based on multiple treatments in a single area of the body. For skin tightening and cellulite, it typically takes a month or more to see results as the body needs time for collagen and elastin growth and remodeling to take effect. And as with fat loss, multiple treatments are generally required to achieve desired results.
