Overview
Non-surgical HIFU body contouring for stubborn, diet-resistant fat
Lipocel is a non-invasive body contouring system that uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to break down stubborn, diet-resistant fat deposits without surgery or anaesthetic. The focused ultrasound energy is delivered precisely to the subcutaneous fat layer, raising the temperature of the fat cells until they are destroyed, while the skin above is protected by the system's advanced contact cooling.
The treatment targets areas that are difficult to address through diet and exercise alone, including the abdomen, flanks, underarms, back, thighs and knees. Lipocel is particularly effective for smaller, localised deposits that may not respond well to other non-surgical fat reduction methods. As well as reducing fat, the HIFU energy stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten the overlying skin for a smoother result.
Lipocel shapes the body rather than replacing a weight-loss programme. Maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle is important for preserving and extending the results.

Is it right for me?
Lipocel suits patients who are at or near their target weight but have localised areas of stubborn fat they cannot shift through diet and exercise. It is a body-shaping treatment rather than a weight-loss solution.
What to expect
Your treatment journey
- 1
Consultation
Your practitioner assesses the areas of concern, discusses your goals and confirms that Lipocel is the appropriate treatment for you.
- 2
Treatment
The Lipocel handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering focused ultrasound energy to the fat layer. Contact cooling keeps the skin surface comfortable throughout the session, which typically takes under 30 minutes.

Aftercare
There is no downtime and most patients return to normal activities immediately. Results develop gradually as the body processes the treated fat cells, and your practitioner will advise on maintaining your result.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What areas can Lipocel treat?
Lipocel is designed for diet-resistant areas including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), underarms, back, thighs and knees. It is particularly suited to smaller focal deposits that do not respond well to other non-surgical technologies.
Is the treatment painful?
The contact cooling system keeps the skin surface at a comfortable temperature throughout, making the treatment well tolerated. Most patients experience a warming sensation in the treated area.
How is Lipocel different from cryolipolysis (fat freezing)?
Lipocel uses focused heat rather than cooling to destroy fat cells, and is especially suited to smaller focal areas that cryolipolysis applicators cannot easily reach. It also tightens the skin as a secondary benefit.
How long do results last?
Fat cells destroyed by HIFU do not regenerate, so the results can be long-lasting provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained. Weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, so a stable, active lifestyle helps to preserve the outcome.
Is Lipocel suitable if I want to lose a lot of weight?
Lipocel is a body-shaping treatment rather than a weight-loss procedure. It works best for patients who are close to their target weight and want to address specific stubborn areas.
How much does Lipocel body contouring cost?
Pricing depends on the areas being treated and what is agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
