Why Med Contour is also called Vaser Shape?

Shortly after it was launched in Europe Med Contour device by GENERAL PROJECT has captured close attention thanks to its innovative technology, extremely efficient results and highest safety level in its class: in the largest European markets (in Germany, Spain, Italy...) it generated massive sales in its class.  

In May 2010 Med Contour became the FIRST and ONLY device of its kind with a classification “FDA approved.”

Before long, the company "Sound Surgical Technologies", a company world-known for its device VASER LIPO, recognized the exceptional potential of Med Contour to SHAPE BODY IN A NON-INVASIVE WAY and together with “GENERAL PROJECT”, the manufacturer of Med Contour, in a joint venture project, in the USA market launched Med Contour under the name VASER SHAPE MC1 (MC stands for Med Contour) and started to sell it thorough its dealers. Since then Med Contour i.e. VASER SHAPE has become one of the most dominant topics in the beauty industry in the largest beauty market in the world and has come into use extensively in the biggest beauty clinics in the world.  

 

How does Med Contour work?

Med Contour uses an applicator with two low-frequency ultrasound heads that target unwanted localized fat deposits right beneath the skin. Thereby low-frequency ultrasound penetrates into the targeted subcutaneous fat tissue and    causes fat cells to implode leaving the skin, blood vessels and connective tissue intact.

While treated with Med Contour, tissue and fat cells are “sucked” in the applicator with vacuum. Through corresponding operations of two mutually adjusted ultrasounds a stage of compression and decompression in the tissue is created which further produces a lot of gas bubbles in the tissue. Bubbles get larger and larger, implode and cause fat cells to implode and degrade. 

 

How does the body get rid of fat after Med Contour treatment?

The unique Med Contour ultrasound treatment breaks the membranes of fat cells; fat cells implode and release fat acids and triglycerides.  These are further absorbed and through lymph and blood vessels transported in the liver.  Natural metabolism of the liver removes these excess fat acids and triglycerides from the body. Lymphatic drainage integrated in the applicator, also known as “zonal massage”, makes this removal process considerably easier.

 

What areas can be treated?

Most popular areas for treating are:

 

  • Waist areas
  • Arms  (so called  love handles)
  • Buttocks and hips
  • lower part of the back
  • fat on hips and thighs
  • bra area on your back
  • and cellulite-affected areas

 

What experience does Med Contour treatment create?

Clients describe the treatment as a hot deep massage. This is a mostly pain free experience except when the most unwanted and affected areas of fat deposits are treated as high energy is used only for a few seconds.  

 

What pre- and post-treatment preparation is required after reshaping your body with Med Contour?

24 hours before every Med Contour treatment one should drink a lot of water to make fatty tissue liquefy more easily during the treatment. After the treatment a client can go about their normal day straight away. There’s no recovery time after the treatment. After the treatment no pain or uneasiness should be experienced at all. Moderate physical activity is an advantage though. 

 

How long does Med Contour treatment last and how often it should be repeated?

Each session usually lasts  some 45-75 minutes including photographs and measuring depending on the size of the area to treat. For most clients 5 treatments suffice for achieving exceptional results.

 

Are results achieved with Med Contour permanent?

Results gained with med Contour are similar to those achieved with surgical liposuction. As long as clients stick to the lifestyle in harmony with the result gained, results are stunning.
