Tina Alster, MD Introduces LipoSonix to DC Area

LipoSonix is now available at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery for patients interested in reducing fat through body contouring. Tina Alster, MD provides treatments with The LipoSonix system, an FDA-cleared device that uses high intensity focused ultrasound energy at a specific depth within the fat tissue to reduce fat beneath the skin in the abdomen and flanks without harming the skin or surrounding tissue. Over 8-12 weeks the destroyed cells are naturally flushed from the body. Reductions of waist circumference of up to 1 inch are possible with a single treatment. Treatment is completely non-invasive with no recovery time. "The physicians at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery lead the industry in advanced body aesthetic treatments. We are excited to add LipoSonix to our extensive tool kit. We are recommending LipoSonix for those with at least one inch of pinchable fat. For those with more fat, we recommend CoolSculpting which is another highly effective non-invasive treatment available at the institute," said Dr. Alster.
