Dr. Michael Gold has introduced the first and only FDA-cleared, non-surgical procedure that uses pulsed, focused ultrasound for permanent fat destruction into his practice. UltraShape^® Power is non-invasive and unlike other fat-reduction procedures that use heat or freeze fat, UltraShape Power is painless and leaves no unwanted signs of treatment. The procedure uses gentle, focused ultrasound energy to shake the walls of fat cells at a rate of 200,000 per second. According to Gold, because the fat cell membrane cannot handle this level of vibration, the cells burst and the fat is released into the body in the form of triglycerides, which are then processed through the liver and eliminated from the body naturally. Meanwhile, the surrounding tissue, nerve and muscles are left completely unharmed. Clinical trials have shown the safety of UltraShape Power.

The ideal UltraShape Power candidate has a body mass index (BMI) 30 or less and can pinch an inch of soft fat around their abdomen or love handles. Treatments take 30-45 minutes and usually require three treatments spaced two weeks apart.
