Med Contour
Med Contour is a relatively recent non-surgical method of reducing fat, coping with localized adiposity and softening the skin on specific areas of the human body which are particularly resistant to common diet and exercise. The method demands no anesthesia to be performed, relying on a combination of ultrasound therapy and vacuum suction/massage to deliver fat melting, cellulite elimination and body contouring. We need to notice that there is a slightly different version based on the same protocol like Med Contour that is promoted in US (Med Contour is popular in UK), called VaserShape, which is also reviewed at LipoAdvisor.com (read our report here)
How Does Med Contour Work?
During a Med Contour session, ultrasounds are emitted, creating an effect which aims directly at the fat cells of the treated area, forcing those fat cells and adipocytes to burst from the inside (this is known as the “cavitation” process), without hurting nearby structures – blood vessels, nerves or connective tissues. That results in fatty lipids and triglycerides being removed from the body in the form of fluid through the lymphatic and vascular system. To accelerate that process and clear the liquids away more easily, Med Contour features a special hand-piece which is able to perform a proper lymphatic drainage massage, thusly metabolizing the fluids out of the treated areas. The outcome is a smooth and well-shaped skin, devoid of cellulite and inelegant fats.
The whole procedure last about 1.5-2 hours. After it, the patient can resume his / her normal activities almost immediately. Typically, a series minimum of 4-6 treatments (in weekly intervals) needs to be performed before the first results become noticeable.

Side Effects
As a whole, Med Contour is a safe cosmetic procedure, free of severe adverse reactions. That is guaranteed by the low frequency applied onto the treated skin, which ensures that the energy penetrates the skin and is applied where it is needed without putting adjacent tissues, nerves or blood vessels into danger. Nevertheless, no such procedure is completely harmless, and Med Contour is definitely no exception (for instance, redness and swelling on the treated spot should be anticipated, although probably subsiding after a while), at least before a solid number of testimonials backing its safety emerges. What a potential user must unquestionably do is ensure that he / she gets a certified medical expert to carry out the treatments.
Areas To Be Treated
Med Contour incorporates innovative technology and a variety of preset programs, which means that the treatment can be applied extremely accurately on designated body parts; in fact, this method is appropriate for almost every area (mainly waistline, thighs and hips) apart from the face and the neck.
Cost
Realself.com does not display the average cost for this particular slimming method. However, a research can reveal that an individual Med Contour session can be charged for approximately $500 each, which is nowhere near low-priced, but, on the other hand, it is not extravagant too. In addition, several packages and offers are occasionally available, which can reduce the total expenditures to a significant extent.
Med Contour Reviews
In relative accordance with its promising specs, Med Contour has managed to gather comparatively positive comments concerning its effectiveness. Most clients state that a series of Med Contour treatments delivered rapid and noticeable results in terms of skin smoothening and added elasticity, while others praise the relaxing and pleasant sensation of the actual procedure. In addition, many users have reported a loss of 1-3 cm. centimeters from the abdominal area after 2-4 treating sessions; still, there are discontented customers who claim to have experienced minimal or negligible fat loss. Another objection, partially anticipated from a non-obtrusive cosmetic procedure of this kind, is the fact that the results are temporary, lasting somewhere between 6 and 12 months.

Our Advice
Med Contour appears to be a relatively effective, non-invasive way of dealing with cellulite which insists despite demanding diets or intense work-out, through eliminating the fat deposits of subcutaneous adipose tissue; at the same time, it is evident that the method can do little to help women and men who simply encounter obesity. As for the ideal candidate for a Med Contour treatment, the ultrasound involved means that it should not be applied on pregnant or breastfeeding women, or on individuals who have a medical record including heart disease, high blood pressure, type I and II diabetes, vascular illnesses, cancer or epilepsy. Furthermore, the technique cannot be considered as totally effective and safe before a greater amount of feedback is available – for instance, the freezing CoolSculpting method currently seems to be more highly regarded, and there is adequate evidence to back that. In any case, if you actually decide to undergo a series of Med Contour treatments, you should bear in mind that its results will last longer if you then adhere to a balanced diet and an active lifestyle – otherwise, gaining weight again will ensue.
