UltraShape
What is it?
UltraShape is an effective non-surgical body contouring treatment in Edmonton that destroys unwanted fat while toning and sculpting the body. UltraShape targets subcutaneous fat – fat that is stored just underneath the surface of the skin. Subcutaneous fat is the most challenging fat to target with a healthy diet and exercise. UltraShape destroys the fat that is resistant to diet and exercise!
How does it work?
UltraShape uses ultrasound energy to destroy the walls of fat cells. Ultrasound penetrates deep into the skin, rapidly changing pressure waves causing fat cells to rupture. Ruptured cells release that fat in the form of triglycerides. Those triglycerides are then processed through the liver and eliminated from the body naturally. Meanwhile, the surrounding tissue, nerves, and muscles are left completely unharmed.
Treatment Results
The procedure is intended to improve the contours or silhouette. Furthermore, as with liposuction, the effects will be durable only if the patient avoids weight gain. Patients who are motivated to maintain their investment in the procedure and to maximize the results must be committed to a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and proper eating habits.
Is fat gone for good?
All fat cells treated will be permanently destroyed; although, neighbouring fat cells can regrow. For best results, we highly recommend that a healthy diet and exercise is maintained.

Maximus
What is it?
The MAXIMUS™ system is a body contouring service in Edmonton that offers dramatic results, including skin tightening, localized fat reduction, cellulite treatment, decrease in circumference & stretch mark reduction. Powered by radiofrequency (RF) technology combined with a muscle activation system indicated for body shaping and skin tightening.
How does it work?
TriPollar RF technology is designed to melt fat and tighten lax skin safely and comfortably, while Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA) stimulates high-frequency muscle contractions that squeeze the fat cells, induce lymphatic drainage, and firm and reshape muscles for exceptional results.
TriPollar and DMA together cause deep heating in the subcutaneous (fat layer of the skin), forcing the release of liquid fat cells and excreting through the lymphatic system.
Together this system provides immediate and long-term results.
What areas can I treat?
+ Upper Abdomen
+ Lower Abdomen
+ Flanks (Love Handles)
+ Neck and Chin
+ Inner Thighs
+ Outer Thighs
+ Bra Fat
+ Arms
What does the treatment feel like?
Feels like a warm massage with a slight feeling of muscle contraction.
How many treatments will I need?
6-8 treatments spread one week apart for optimal results.
What is the overall difference between UltraShape and Maximus?
The UltraShape treatment destroys unwanted subcutaneous fat cells and is designed to help clients decrease in circumference and inches in the desired area. Maximus treatment shrinks down fat cells and is designed to tighten and firm lax skin in the desired area. When it comes to body sculpting and contouring in Edmonton, at Lipstick Empire we highly recommend doing UltraShape followed by Maximus for optimal results!
