Lipocel
Treatment
At Prime Cosmetic Clinic Melbourne, we provide Lipocel, a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to target stubborn fat deposits.
It is commonly chosen by patients who want to support body shaping and confidence without surgery.
Lipocel is an energy-based treatment that delivers focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin surface. This energy can heat and disrupt fat cells, which are then gradually processed by the body over time.
The system also features a contact cooling tip to help protect the skin surface and maintain patient comfort.
- High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU): Concentrated ultrasound energy penetrates beneath the skin.
- Targeted fat disruption: The thermal effect may weaken fat cell structures.
- Gradual reduction: The body’s natural metabolism processes the affected fat cells over weeks.
- Cooling technology: Helps keep the surface of the skin comfortable and safe.
- Localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Abdominal bulges
- Flank and thigh contour concerns
- Post-pregnancy or postpartum fat retention (as part of a wellness program)
- Duration: 30–120 minutes depending on area

FAQs
No. Lipocel is not a weight-loss procedure. It is designed to target localised fat deposits for body contouring support.
Some patients notice changes after a few weeks, but the most visible improvements often appear after 2–3 months. Results vary between individuals.
Most patients describe Lipocel as tolerable due to its integrated cooling system. Sensations of warmth or tingling are common.
Typically 3–4 sessions are suggested, but this depends on the treatment area and individual goals.
