vShape Ultra is a non-surgical, highly effective fat loss solution that uses two platforms to contour the body. The first kills fat cells with ultrasound energy and encourages the lymphatic system to absorb the dead cells. The second platform uses focused radio frequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin. It’s an extremely popular procedure at our Scottsdale office because it can target any area of the body – including the abdomen, arms, legs, beneath the chin and more.
Any area of the body that requires a reduction in fat cells and the tightening of loose, wrinkled or dimpled skin can be treated with targeted vShape Ultra treatments. Some of the most common problem areas we treat for our patients at our Scottsdale office include:
The abdomen: With vShape Ultra treatments, we can flatten the stomach, firm loose skin and minimize love handles. This is a particularly popular treatment area among women who have given birth, as it’s a terrific way to regain their pre-pregnancy form without surgery.
Hips and thighs: vShape Ultra can also contour the hip and thigh area by addressing excess fat cells, tightening the skin and reducing cellulite.
Face: Unlike other body contouring procedures, vShape Ultra is highly versatile. This allows us to target smaller pockets of fat extremely well, such as in the neck area and underneath the chin.
Your vShape Ultra procedures will be performed in our Scottsdale office, while you lay comfortably on the treatment table. No drugs or anesthesia will be necessary, as the treatment is pain-free without medication. To perform the procedure, we will move the vShape Ultra hand-piece over the target area, administering powerful energy to reduce fat, minimize cellulite and firm loose skin.
For most patients, four 60-minute treatments every two weeks are recommended, with routine maintenance visits moving forward to preserve their results. Because there’s no downtime associated with this treatment, you will be free to return to work and your normal daily routine right away.
With innovative vShape Ultra treatments, there’s finally a way for patients to target cellulite, tighten loose skin and reduce fat cells without surgery. Contact Dr. Malek’s Scottsdale office today to schedule an appointment and learn how vShape Ultra can benefit you.
PATIENT EDUCATION
A board-certified plastic surgeon has dedicated an average of sixteen years to advanced medical education and training – just the first step in achieving board certification as a plastic surgeon. Once the entire education and residency are completed, to become certified requires a lengthy and comprehensive two-day oral and written examination to evaluate scope of knowledge and understanding, ethical standing, and the physician’s approach to patient health and safety.
Many other medical professionals offer cosmetic procedures, including MDs – who may market their practice as a “cosmetic surgery” practice, but have not undergone the extensive specialty training of a board certified plastic surgeon. If you are planning a cosmetic procedure, qualifications matter – in a big way. You want a result that you love, not a disaster that requires revision surgery. Dr. Malek, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is often called upon to repair poorly performed cosmetic surgeries. Always check for board certification as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon if you are planning a cosmetic procedure.
During training, a plastic surgeon is working full time, and spends about 3,000 hours of hands-on practice under the training and supervision of a senior, certified plastic surgeon who is overseeing all of their work. One indicator of lack of board certification as a plastic surgeon who offers a “cut-rate” deal, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Another indicator is that the medical professional offering cosmetic services who is not a board certified plastic surgeon will not have hospital privileges – almost all hospitals require plastic surgery procedures that are performed at their facility to be board certified reconstructive and plastic surgeons. Board certification is only awarded by the American Board of Plastic Surgery – no other group or entity with a similar-sounding name.
Surgeons who have completed the required residency for plastic and reconstructive surgery have the experience, knowledge, and surgical techniques to perform the most complex surgical procedures, including: Facelifts, Nose jobs (rhinoplasty), Eyelid surgery, Brow lift, Body lift, Tummy tuck, Arm lift, Breast augmentation, Breast lift, Breast reduction, Breast revision, Breast reconstruction
Unfortunately, there are many medical “boards,” and an MD can present themselves as a “plastic surgeon,” but have not gone through the extensive education and training of an actual board-certified plastic surgeon. You have the right to know the certification of a medical professional who offers a surgical procedure – just ask.Many other medical professionals offer cosmetic procedures, including MDs – who may market their practice as a “cosmetic surgery” practice, but have not undergone the extensive specialty training of a board certified plastic surgeon.

For a better understanding of the certification of a physician, the basics are as follows:A licensed MD has been educated in some surgical techniques, but not even close to the extent of the training required to achieve board certification as a plastic surgeon.A board-certified cosmetic surgeon is significantly different than a board certified plastic surgeon. Certification from the American Board of Medical Specialties does not issue certificates for “cosmetic surgery.” However, an MD is not violating the law by calling him or herself a “cosmetic surgeon.” The question is, does he or she have the experience, knowledge, and advanced techniques that will produce an excellent result?
