Ultraslim is a no-touch treatment using a special patented light to stimulate fat cells. The fat cells respond by opening temporary pores in the cell and emptying fat cell contents, releasing stubborn fat you just can’t seem to get rid of with diet and exercise alone. Studies show that Ultraslim can reduce fat cell size by 1/3 in only 8 min! Unlike all other non-invasive fat reduction therapies UltraSlim works immediately, showing results before you leave the room. The average patient loses 3.5″ (54.1 fluid ounces) of pure fat in a single treatment.
