Quick answerLiposuction surgically removes a large volume of fat through small incisions and needs anaesthesia and weeks of recovery. Liposonix uses focused ultrasound to destroy a smaller amount of stubborn fat in one non-invasive session, with no downtime and results over 8 to 12 weeks. Liposonix suits people near their goal weight; liposuction suits larger volumes.

How each works
Liposuction suctions fat out through a thin cannula. Liposonix directs focused ultrasound into the fat layer, destroying fat cells that the body clears naturally.
