Lipocel

Medical HIFU system specialized for slimming to reliably reach even the thickest fat layer

Rapid rupture and medium-term loss of fat cells

Providing slimming treatment with minimal risk of rebound

Lipocel II is a high-power HIFU with cooling function that can irradiate with 2MHz frequency and high-intensity energy of up to 150J/㎠. Its powerful thermal energy irradiation induces the rupture of fat cells, resulting in an immediate results. In addition, macrophages are activated by the loss of cell membrane integrity and the infiltration of fat cell contents outside the cell. The reduction of the cells themselves (cell death) promotes medium-term size reduction and can induce both necrosis and apoptosis. This makes possible a slimming treatment that is less likely to rebound.

General Principles of HIFU

HIFU technology is a technique that focuses ultrasound (acoustic energy) to a single point at target depth via a transducer built into a cartridge. The property of focusing thermal energy only on the target tissue layer minimizes the effect on non-target areas and allows for treatment without unnecessary heat or pain.

 

Grid Irradiation can save time and provide comfortable slimming treatment

Lipocel II is equipped with a Grid Irradiation Mode that reduces the number of stacking times and shortens the treatment time. Since dot irradiation is performed in a grid pattern, every stacking allows an approach with thermal energy equivalent to about 2 stacking times of conventional stacking. (Linear Dot Irradiation is also possible as before.)

Only 13 minutes irradiation for a palm-sized area

The area that can be approached with one shot is approximately 9 cm2 (when L13 cartridge is used). For a palm-sized area (9cm x 15cm), it takes only 12.5 minutes with GRID irradiation to induce fat reduction.
