ABOUT CELLULITE:

Cellulite is noticeable in 80-90% of post pubertal females and is rarely seen in men. Cellulite is evident by skin dimpling and nodularity which is mostly noticeable in women's thighs, buttocks, abdomen and upper arms. For generations women world wide have attempted numerous modalities to improve their body tone and reduce cellulite. Aggressive and excessive dieting as well as hormonal components have all been implicated in the acceleration of cellulitic changes in women of all ages. This problem is also accelerated with aging and poor exercise.

The causes of cellulite are numerous and are the result of micro herniation of sub cutaneous fat cells within "rigid" fibrous skin connective tissue. This process is also associated with a deficient local micro circulatory system. Numerous therapies for treatment of cellulite such as diet, exercise, reduction of stress, massage therapy and even creams have all been tried with some degree of improvement. Surgical techniques such as liposuction and excisional procedures are currently the mainstay for the removal of excess body fat to reshape and contour the body. These techniques are effective and popular, however, they are invasive. They usually require some form of anesthesia and are performed in an operating suite under sterile conditions. Surgical incisions are performed to either remove and /or suction the excess fat. A lengthy post operative recovery is required, they are usually costly, certain complications are well known, and recurrences of cellulite have been noted. In the last decade non invasive techniques for anti aging and body contouring have been popularized both in the United States and around the world. For the last twenty five years external shockwave therapy has been used in urology for lithotripsy of stones as well as in the fields of orthopedic and cardiology.

HOW LIPOLYS TREATS CELLULITE?

Acoustic wave therapy appears to have significant promise for a whole gamut of applications in dermatology, cosmetic and anti aging therapy. It is a new, non invasive modality which has exciting potentials both for the treatment of cellulite as well as improving dermal connective tissue and local micro circulation.

Acoustic shockwaves produce a very strong energy pulse for a very short length of time ( generally a few milliseconds). The energy pulse is so intense it creates a shockwave which can be compared to a thunder following lightening during a thunderstorm.

WHY LIPOLYS?

The new LipoLys, uses the Lipolissage technology which offers an improved, non-invasive, simple, painless and cost effective technique for the treatment of cellulite in women of all ages, skin types and colors.

The Lipolissage technology (LipoLys systems) allows us the capability of controlling and focusing the shockwaves only in the desired affected sub cutaneous fat and dermal layers, while sparing other tissues. The external probes deliver an acoustic shockwave through the skin which has been shown to reduce and/or breakdown fat cells. The waste is then eliminated via the dermal lymphatic system. In addition, it is known that the acoustic shockwave treatment stimulates fibroblasts, therefore improving the tissue healing, remodeling and elasticity of connective tissue.

Furthermore, it increases regeneration of micro circulation to tissues and enhance the local metabolism within the treated tissue improving its appearance and local health. In addition, significant improvement of skin tightening, elasticity and appearance is expected.

AMI FACTOR™

The LipoLys AMI™ RSWT incorporated in the LIPOKONTUR device uses a unique, built-in and proprietary new dosimetry unit called the AMI Factor™ (for Average Modulated Impact), 

which the device internally calculates and displays as a numerical expression on the screen, as soon as the user chooses the indication on the body site.

The AMI Factor™ is an estimate of the energy delivered to the tissue with each shock, based on the Power (Bars) and the Frequency (MHZ) settings. The AMI p/a is the total energy value delivered to a certain body area, in one session. It is also internally calculated by multiplying the AMI factor with the number of shots delivered.

Besides these two values, the device internally calculates and displays the Minimum and Maximum AMI values. Based on medical protocols, compiling treatment parameters’ averages, it is clear that every procedure should be performed between these two numbers (Minimum AMI and Maximum AMI margins) to achieve the optimal clinical outcomes for each specific indication (e.g. cellulite 1 and 2) on a specific part of the body (e.g. buttocks).

The optimal Min and Max AMI data, per procedure, is internally kept within the device memory for later retrieval and automatic check against the changes made, if user should modify the preset menu parameters (Frequency and/or Power).

One of the uses for the calculated AMI factor values is to provide a numeric constant, averaging the treatment settings and parameters which were chosen, in just one number - making it easy to keep track and later to follow up with the patients’ clinical outcomes and other users.

A more immediate practical use for the AMI Factor™ Minimum and Maximum is that the device has an immediate ability to send WARNING feedback to the user, if preset settings are being modified beyond the recommended Min or Max values. In fact, the device has an extra layer of “control” over the safety and the “efficacy” of the treatment settings, in case the user chooses to modify the preset suggested settings for different reasons (e.g. discomfort). If the operator chooses to change the suggested settings below or beyond specific values (which are preset in the device memory), the device would allow the change but only after giving a warning, suggesting to increase or decrease Frequency and Power settings back to the appropriate range of values which are safe and efficient for the particular procedure.

See the AMI Factor table, as below, as it is internally loaded into the device for control and safety.
