High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been recently introduced as a non-invasive therapeutic modality for controlling excessive subcutaneous fat.

The efficacy and safety of the HIFU device for sculpting the abdomen, upper arm, and thigh were evaluated.

Ten subjects with more than 10 mm of subcutaneous fat in the abdomen, upper arm, and/or thigh were recruited.

We evaluate mean change in the thickness and circumference of subcutaneous fat of each treated area measured using ultrasound 12 weeks after the procedure, the degree of pain, and subject and practitioner satisfaction 12 weeks after the procedure.
