Dear Friend,

Dr. Brown's study concluded that the delivery of non-invasive focused ultrasonic energy using the UltraShape Contour I system has been validated and supported by the basic and pre-clinical data presented.

Meanwhile, the UltraShape Procedure continues to receive extremely positive exposure in the U.S. and international news media and clinical trials are on-going in the United States.

We look forward to bringing you additional updates on the UltraShape® Contour I™ system in the months to come and hope you will find this newsletter a valuable resource of tips to maximize results of the UltraShape procedure.

As always, our UltraShape Clinical Application and Practice Marketing team members are available to train your staff on UltraShape best practices, discuss our patented process and to develop a marketing plan for your practice.

During your course of treatment we recommend that the patients maintain a healthy diet and routine exercise.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Publishes Ultrashape’s Basic Science and Pre-Clinical Research Demonstrating Proven Tissue Effects
January 26, 2009

Peer-reviewed data support unique focused ultrasound technology for noninvasive fat reduction and body contouring

YOQNEAM, Israel, January 26, 2009 – UltraShape, a global leader in non-invasive fat reduction and body contouring, today announced the publication of extensive scientific and pre-clinical research data on its patented focused ultrasound technology in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®. The publication by S. Brown, PhD et al entitled “Characterization of Non-thermal Focused Ultrasound for Non-invasive Selective Fat Cell Disruption (lysis): Technical and Pre-clinical Assessment” is currently available on PRS Advance Online at http://www.plasreconsurg.com, the Website for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

“This extensive research confirms that the UltraShape® Contour I™ system is the first non-invasive technology to produce a non-thermal focused acoustic field at a controlled subcutaneous target resulting in stable cavitation,” said Spencer Brown, PhD, Director of Research, Plastic Surgery Department at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and member of the UltraShape Medical Advisory Board. “Histopathologist reviewed specimens of dermal and sub-dermal tissue, including subcutaneous fat, demonstrated selective fat cell destruction with preservation of surrounding critical structures such as skin, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. No epidermal or dermal changes were observed clinically or histologically.”

“UltraShape has always taken the high road and based their claims on science and sound research. This published research demonstrates a well-understood mechanism of action with proven tissue effects,” said Jeffery M. Kenkel, M.D., F.A.C.S., Vice Chairman and Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Chairman, UltraShape Medical Advisory Board. “UltraShape is the first non-invasive aesthetic technology to be scientifically validated by such comprehensive pre-clinical research.”

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

The fat cells that have been destroyed during treatment will release the triglycerides, which are then broken down into 3 free fatty acids and glycerol, and transported to the liver to be used as energy. During your course of treatment we recommend that the patients follow a healthy lifestyle plan including a healthy diet and routine exercise.
