Liposculpture with TRILIPO

Liposculpture with TRILIPOTM

TriLipoTM is a new non-invasive fat removal technology that offers an alternative to liposuction for small areas of the body or those areas that require only a ‘slight’ improvement. It is literally a machine that is able to reduce fat deposits and improve stretch marks and cellulite without the need for surgery.

The Maximus Tripollar® system at the Encorė Cosmetic Clinic represents the latest development in tripollar radiofrequency and is the first of its kind in New Zealand. We call it TriLipoTM.

TriLipoTM technology is the most advanced solution for body sculpting available. Along with cryolipolysis, it is the only FDA approved technology shown to reduce fat. The triple action system decreases and removes unwanted fat deposits, tightens the skin, reduces cellulite and shrinks stretch marks. As the name implies, it uses a triple action mechanism simultaneously and is the only system in the market that does so.

The ‘no downtime’ procedure has been globally embraced. It is often also used on the body with great success in treating cellulite and circumferential reduction.

How does TriLipoTM work?

Having treatment with our Maximus TriLipoTM is comparable to having an ultrasound – using some gel, a handpiece is moved over the site to be treated. A feeling of warmth typically occurs but it is not painful.

Fat cells are, by nature, very different from other cells in the body, particularly in how they respond to stimuli such as temperature. The TriLipoTM radio-frequency technology delivers energy to the targeted areas of fat. By driving controlled heat deep within the fat cells it subsequently destroys them.

Most clients realise the optimal outcome at the conclusion of the full treatment course – a recommended five treatment sessions. There is usually a noticeable reduction in fine body lines, contouring and mild lifting of the treatment area, and some improvement of the skin tone and texture. Patients benefit from both visible immediate and long-term results. The immediate effects include a smoother tightened appearance and texture.

Since there is no downtime with this procedure, patients can resume their regular activities immediately.

TriLipoTM can be used on any area of the body – from large areas, such as the abdomen, through to small areas, such as the chin, with the same degree of success.

Another benefit of TriLipoTM radio-frequency is its ability to both reduce fat and tighten the skin, by directing energy to target collagen. Following TriLipoTM treatments, the fat layer becomes thinner and the skin layer often becomes thicker and smoother.

Are there any side effects or contraindications?

TriLipoTM is not recommended in the following circumstances:

  • Patients with pacemakers, internal defibrillators or other implanted neurostimulators or any other internal or electric device.
  • Metal implants or other implants in the treated area.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Treatment of the abdomen during the menstrual cycle.
  • Patients with diminished or exaggerated perception of temperature change.
  • Active conditions in the treated area, such as infection and severe eczema or psoriasis.
  • Use of Isotretinoin within 6 months prior to treatment.
  • Tattoo or any permanent makeup in the treated area.
  • Excessively tanned skin.
  • Significant surgery within the treated area (including face lifting and eyelid surgery) within three months of treatment.
  • Fillers in the treated area within three months of treatment.
  • Relative complications. It may not be prudent for some people with impaired immune systems, such as with AIDS and HIV or those with a current history of skin cancer.

Possible side effects:

These effects are rare and expected to be temporary. Possible side effects include:

  • Discomfort at the treated area.
  • Skin redness in and around the treated area.
  • Damage to the natural skin texture – temporary crusting or blistering.
  • Excess swelling of the treated area.
  • Bruising of the treated area.
  • Alteration to colour of the skin – either becoming lighter or darker in colour.
  • Scarring of the treated area. There have been no reports of this with the TriLipoTM machine that Dr Bellaney uses.
