The patented UltraSlim® mechanism of action delivers a unique, high-powered light, which is absorbed by the chromophores of the mitochondria (cytochrome c oxidase), causing the adipocyte to respond with lipolysis, as if it was a time of famine. The fat cell's membrane is disrupted, resulting in temporary pores which allow triglycerides to be released from the cell as non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and glycerol, while also secreting Leptin, Adiponectin/Acrp30, and Interluken-6. The volume of the adipocyte is reduced accordingly.
UltraSlim® is able to achieve reduction of subcutaneous and visceral fat while increasing collagen and elastin production in the skin cells. As a result, we see tighter, younger looking skin combined with dramatic fat reduction. By altering the exposure dosage in Luminous Flux Minutes, we are able to achieve specific results for multiple indications for use.
To avoid confusion, patients are asked not to modify their diet or exercise. Instead, patients are asked to be on time for all treatment sessions, drink 2 to 4 liters of water daily, and use a compression garment during the course of treatment and for two weeks thereafter - until the fat "hardens".
Patients lose up to 20% of their total weight in one year with GLP-1 agonists, dieting, and exercise.4 Accordingly, a compression garment is especially important when UltraSlim® is used as an adjunctive treatment to GLP-1 agonists to achieve dramatically improved skin laxity.

Verified patients on RealSelf.com rate UltraSlim® as the Best Nonsurgical Body Contouring Procedure because patients lose more fat and lose fat more quickly with award-winning UltraSlim® than with Coolsculpting®, SculpSure®, Emsculpt®, or any other nonsurgical body contouring procedure.2
"UltraSlim® is a revolutionary non-surgical liposuction alternative that can slim the waist, hips, thighs, and buttocks with no recovery time."
"UltraSlim® can achieve immediate fat loss with no exercise,sc dieting, or surgery required, while also stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers for firmer-looking skin texture. My patients love it!"
"Other fat reduction methods, like liposuction, remove fat cells, which may lead to irregular fat accumulations if you gain weight."
"UltraSlim® instead preserves your fat cells and uses red light therapy to drain fat cells of their contents (triglycerides and fatty acids). Once these contents are drained, they are naturally processed by your body and removed over time."

"I have found UltraSlim to be a wonderful addition to my aesthetic plastic surgery practice, both alone and in combination with other invasive and noninvasive modalities."
"UltraSlim® is the ONLY FDA approved noninvasive device for IMMEDIATE fat loss. It can be used on virtually any area of the face or body."
"UltraSlim® is NOT similar to other non-surgical fat reduction methods, like CoolSculpting® and SculpSure®, which depend on the death and destruction of your living tissue, and the accompanying recovery and discomfort."
"UltraSlim's unique patented technology allows immediate fat cell deflation without the tissue trauma, contour irregularities and patient recovery commonly associated with fat cell toxic techniques."
"Even with diet and exercise, patients can struggle to address pockets of stubborn fatty tissue on the face and body. One option is liposuction, a surgical procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body."
"However, many individuals are uninterested or not candidates for surgery. Fortunately, UltraSlim is an FDA-approved revolutionary non-surgical procedure that uses a special wavelength of light to break down fat cells with no downtime and quick results."
"We are proud to be the first and only practice in the Maryland and DC area to offer this exciting technology."

Permanent Fat Loss, Immediate Results:® With UltraSlim®, patients lose fat permanently through the natural bodily function of lipolysis. The liberated contents of the fat cells are excreted primarily in the patient's waste, as part of the body's natural detoxification.
Safest Technology: UltraSlim® operates at a cellular level and does not generate heat as part of the mechanism of action, but is instead part of an extremely complex, cascading photochemical mechanism. Completely noninvasive, UltraSlim® works with all body types, regardless of age, skin tone, sex, and has no BMI restrictions. The treatment is safe, and has no discomfort or downtime. UltraSlim® has been FDA-cleared since February 2015 with no side effects or adverse outcomes. UltraSlim® is rated in Risk Group 1, which is the safest category of medical devices.®.
Most Powerful Technology: UltraSlim® is the most powerful Red Light Therapy Device and is the only FDA-cleared device for immediate fat reduction. In clinical trials, patients lost an average of 3.5” from their waist, hips, and thighs [1,580cc of fat] and 98% of patients lost 2" or more cumulatively from the waist, hips, and thighs. After treatment, patients experienced additional drainage of fat content for 72 hours, giving an additional 1.25", for a total loss of 4.75" on average for one 32-minute UltraSlim® treatment.1 To put that in context, patients immediately lost 40 times more fat with UltraSlim® than the 39.6cc that patients lose in two months with CoolSculpting®.

"I continue to be impressed by the results I'm seeing on a daily basis with the UltraSlim machine; I'm always astonished by the amazing skin tightening and fat loss results with UltraSlim."
"Everyone was very excited about trying it. I think most of my patients have seen significant weight loss from the UltraSlim - they have an average loss of three inches per session! I don't think I've had any unhappy patients, which makes me happy."
"I use UltraSlim in my office for a post-procedure reduction of swelling, bruising, and inflammation. I use it after every single injection procedure that I do, including surgery as well as injectables. It significantly reduces downtime, and patients heal much quicker and faster."

UltraSlim® increases collagen and elastin in the skin by stimulating the mitochondria within skin cells with a specific type and wavelength of light.
Mitochondrial activation occurs when the CCO chromophores are exposed to the correct dosage in Luminous Flux Minutes of UltraSlim's specific 635 +/- 2nm light emissions. Mitochondrial activation leads to increased activity of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin and boosting the cell's ATP energy production.
The photonic energy absorbed by the mitochondria provides the cells with more power to create new collagen fibers and improves blood circulation to the treated area, further enhancing the delivery of nutrients needed for collagen and elastin synthesis.
With more active fibroblasts, the skin produces more collagen, a protein that provides structure and elasticity, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced signs of aging like wrinkles.
With more active fibroblasts, the skin produces more collagen, a protein that provides structure and elasticity, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced signs of aging like wrinkles.
By increasing collagen and elastin production, the signs of aging are somewhat hidden beneath a "netting" of collagen that conceals superficial, benign vascular, and pigmented lesions – resulting in skin that appears tighter and younger looking. Older patients may require more frequent maintenance treatments to sustain their youthful appearance.
Contact UsThe first FDA clearance for UltraSlim® [K150336] is as a Powered Laser Surgical Instrument for treatment of superficial, benign vascular, and pigmented lesions. Shown below is a 75-year-old patient who had four bilateral 20-minute treatments.
The second FDA clearance for UltraSlim® [K160880] is as a Fat Reducing Low Level Laser. Shown below is a patient who had two bilateral UltraSlim® treatments. As this patient is 45 years old, substantially less frequent maintenance treatments are required to maintain her more youthful appearance.
UltraSlim® may be administered in a manner to maintain or reduce facial fat deposits independent of the decision on reducing neck and jowl fat.
By targeting specific areas, like the face, while making independent decisions for the neck and jowl, you can customize the approach to meet individual needs. This flexibility can be especially beneficial for those looking to achieve a balanced and tailored outcome. It ensures that treatment can focus on maintaining or reducing fat deposits in areas as desired, offering a more personalized solution.

"Last year, our first system was booked out 40 hours a week, two months in advance when we had a problem with our unit. I was really worried when I called Tech Support. UltraSlim overnighted a replacement light and arm assembly. It only took 10 minutes to change over. I ordered a second system that week! UltraSlim has been a game changer for our practice." -- Dr. Jay Rugoff
