[Montel Williams] Welcome back.
If you're working hard to get your body in
shape but still have that stubborn fat deposits
that just won't go away.
[Dao Vu] Don't we all?
[Montel Williams] You're not by yourself.
Now getting rid of those troubled spots is
really possible with liposonics.
[Dao Vu] That's right.
Here with the details, renowned plastic surgeon,
Dr. Christopher Khorsandi.
Good morning.
Welcome back.
[Montel Williams] Good morning.
[Dr. Khorsandi] Good morning, guys.
Thanks for having me.
We brought liposonics with us today.
[Dao Vu] Yes.
[Dr. Khorsandi] Which is a incredible technology.
Liposonics fills that void where most patients,
they want lose a little a bit of their love
handles, their stomach, it's a trouble area
for so many patients.
What liposonics does is actually it provides
a non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
In about an hour with the treatment, you can
lose about one inch, and it's almost-
[Montel Williams] Wait a second.
[Dr. Khorsandi] I know it sounds-
[Montel Williams] You're saying in one hour,
I'm going to lay down on your table and you're
going to take a inch off of me?
[Dr. Khorsandi] Correct.
It sounds too good to be true but it's ten
years of extremely high level research in
high-intensity focused ultrasounds.
Some of the smartest people in the ultrasound
science world have put their efforts together
to bring something like this into the market.
[Montel Williams] Well, you know there are
a lot of people that probably feel the same
way I did.
You have some pictures, right?
You have some pictures that show [crosstalk
00:01:15].
[Dr. Khorsandi] We have some befores and afters.
It's really an incredible treatment.
This is without surgery.
Most patients don't want to take the downtime
for surgery.
You have to go to the OR.
You have to take time off.
You need to go and recover.
[Dao Vu] Yeah, people don't want to do that.
[Dr. Khorsandi] You can be out and running
around literally the next day, and it takes
about 6 to 12 weeks for the fat to completely
go away.
We have a little clip here, we'll show you
how it works, but it really is an advanced
technology.
[Montel Williams] Are those results that we
just saw, are they pretty much typical or
are they atypical?
[Dr. Khorsandi] Those are typical results,
and we could see here the animation, this
is the liposonics head, it's a transducer.
We'll have our skin on the top, the fat in
the middle, the muscle below, and what it's
going to do it's going to focus the ultrasound
almost like when you're a kid you took a magnifying
and focused the sun, it's focusing the ultrasound
to a powerful beam and it's actually in a
very controlled and consistent manner destroying
the fat, and once it's destroyed it's gone.
[Montel Williams] Doc, guys like and Hollywood
people, all of us, you have a photo shoot
coming up and you think, "Well, I'm going
to get rid of that actual piece here."
Is this blown up all over all Hollywood right
now?
[Dr. Khorsandi] This is growing by leaps and
bounds.
This is one of the fastest growing technologies
that we have, and the reason for it is this
minimal downtime.
You get a great result.
You can really contour and selectively choose
the areas that you want to treat.
A recent survey of women showed, a thousand
women were surveyed, 65% are uncomfortable
about their belly and love handles.
[Dao Vu] Yes.
Even the thin people have problems with that
area.
[Dr. Khorsandi] Do you want to know something
even more interesting?
This survey found that 45% of women were willing
to give up sex for one year to lose one dress
size.
[Montel Williams] What?
[Dr. Khorsandi] Unbelievable.
[Montel Williams] I don't know that woman.
[Dao Vu] That is incredible.
[Montel Williams] That's right.
[Dao Vu] That is incredible.
[Dr. Khorsandi] With liposonics, it's an incredible
thing, but that's how much it bothers people.
This technology has really come along.
It's non-invasive, it's a minimal downtime.
You can get back to work the next day.
It may have a little bit of bruising in the
area but that goes away within a week or two,
and it really shows some dramatic results.
You can lose an inch off your waistline.
[Montel Williams] I'm a guy who works out
everyday, and I do so because of my MS, I
have to.
I have to crack my body out, make sure I keep
myself moving, but the amount of time I spend
in the gym is about an hour and 20 minutes,
so I'm working out well, okay?
[Dr. Khorsandi] Sure.
[Montel Williams] I can get rid of everything.
I have this little piece right here, baby,
just that little piece.
[Dr. Khorsandi] Not just you, pretty much
everybody.
After 30, we have areas called diet-resistant
fat, our love handles, our bottom of our tummy,
these are areas that are programmed to stay.
They really stick around even in extreme diet.
We have elite athletes who as soon as they're
done with their competition, they get these
little love handles and they're really uncomfortable
about it.
You look at some of the models on TV, the
Victoria's Secret models, what we don't really
see is how they really diet down for the last
few days before show, and when they're back,
they still have little diet-resistant areas.
[Dao Vu] I think
[Montel Williams] How long does it work?
How long does it work?
[Dr. Khorsandi] How long does it work?
[Montel Williams] I mean yeah, but how long
does it last?
[Dao Vu] The sessions, how many do you need
as well?
[Dr. Khorsandi] The session takes about one
hour.
You need one session, and the treatment lasts
forever.
Once you destroy that cell, it's gone forever.
Now you can gain weight elsewhere, but the
cells that we get rid off ... Should we fire
it up and get you guys-
[Montel Williams] Wait, wait.
How long is the show, Dao?
[Dao Vu] Yeah, yeah.
[Dr. Khorsandi] We'll get you guys [crosstalk
00:04:19].
This is a transducer, it's really a very gentle-looking
device, and it has a little water spray that
cool the area with.
Once it's there, we put the transducer on
the skin, it does its treatment, and you're
out the door in an hour.
[Dao Vu] Very quickly, what is your special?
[Dr. Khorsandi] Our special for people who
are watching today, if you mention "The Morning
Blend," we're giving 20% off the treatment
per area.
[Montel Williams] Morning Blend.
[Dao Vu] Sign us up.
[Dr. Khorsandi] That's right.
[Dao Vu] Dr. Khorsandi, thank you so much.
[Dr. Khorsandi] Thanks, guys.
[Dao Vu] Happy holidays to you.
[Dr. Khorsandi] Happy holidays.
[Montel Williams] This is a holiday gift to
someone.
