Step 1
Use the Med Sculpt ultrasound system in the United States. This model has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in cellulite reduction.
-
Step 2
Perform a combination of pumping and sliding movements on the skin with the ultrasound unit. This produces a massaging effect on the cellulite that promotes the breakdown of fibrous tissue, increases the absorption of local edema and enhances the disintegration of fat.
-
Step 3
Receive treatments based on your age and needs. Ultrasound is generally performed twice per week for four to six weeks. A follow-up treatment is generally every six to eight weeks thereafter. Ultrasonic treatments should be pain-free because they do not pinch or roll the skin and therefore do not cause bruising.

Step 4
Expect clinical results to show an average loss of 1 cm in cellulite per session and a reduction in body contours of up to 3.5 cm. The mean loss over 12 sessions is 6 cm, with a significant improvement in the treated area's appearance.

Step 5
Precede an Endermologie treatment with ultrasound. Some doctors have reported that a 10-minute session with ultrasound makes the Endermologie treatment more effective.
