    UltraSlim painlessly reduces fat in the tissue under the skin. UltraSlim allows the body to safely eliminate fat while reducing inches from target areas, slimming, and reshaping body lines while tightening and toning loose skin. A revolutionary method that delivers results while allowing patients to remain active during treatment, UltraSlim supports physicians in their quest to deliver optimum care and well being to their patients. The fat cells are drained of triglycerides and fatty acids — in the areas treated with the red light and throughout the body, due to a chemical process that also improves cholesterol and reduces hunger.

    Change to: Does it take more than one session? Standard initial protocol is six treatments for optimal results. One session of UltraSlim is 32 minutes under the LED light. We may recommend 20-minute exposures per side.
    Treatment - How long does the effect last?
    UltraSlim doesn’t kill fat cells, it depletes the contents of the cell. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle should allow your results to remain. However, an unhealthy lifestyle may cause your fat cells to refill with new fat. Depleting a fat cell is safer than killing it, which is what heat based, ultrasound, radio frequency, and fat freezing devices do. If fat returns after a cell has been depleted, it will go to the same place. If fat returns after your fat cells have been killed, patients of those procedures commonly see side effects like dysmorphic or visceral fat.
    Treatment - Does it work for Visceral fat?
    Yes UltraSlim works on all types of fat. Using our patented photobiomodulation technology, UltraSlim naturally drains fat cells with lipolysis rather than cell-killing apoptosis. Our technology affects natural cellular responses in fat cells, which reduces the amount of fat. We will recommend the number of treatments you will need to treat visceral fat, based on your body type. Take advantage of the free UltraSlim consultation by 4 Elements Laser Lipo and we will answer all of your specific questions.

    UltraSlim is the most powerful and effective medical device for noninvasive fat loss and beautiful skin, that works on all skin and body types. UltraSlim treatments have been shown to produce collagen and elastin fibers which benefit the appearance of younger, healthier looking and tighter skin.
