LipoHIFU in Honolulu — Non‑Surgical Waistline Reduction in One Treatment
Permanent Fat Reduction
No Downtime
Physician‑Led Care in East O‘ahu
LipoHIFU is a clinically proven, non‑invasive treatment that permanently destroys stubborn fat around the waist — all in a single one‑hour session. Performed in our physician‑led East O‘ahu clinic, it’s the ideal solution for patients who live a healthy lifestyle but still have “an inch to pinch.”
What Is LipoHIFU?
💠 Non‑surgical body contouring
💠 Scientifically validated HIFU technology
💠 Targets stubborn waistline fat
💠 No needles, no suction, no downtime
LipoHIFU uses high‑intensity focused ultrasound to selectively destroy fat cells beneath the skin. Over the next 8–12 weeks, your body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat, revealing a slimmer, more contoured waistline.

LipoHIFU vs. Other Fat Reduction Treatments
Choosing the right fat‑reduction treatment depends on your goals, lifestyle, and how quickly you want to see results. LipoHIFU is ideal for patients who want a single, non‑surgical treatment with predictable inch‑loss and no downtime. Because it uses focused ultrasound rather than freezing or suction, it delivers smoother, more uniform results and avoids the discomfort associated with other technologies. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your goals and help you determine whether LipoHIFU is the best option for your body.

Yelp! review 7/19/2018 ✭✭✭✭✭
I have received many aesthetic procedures from Dr. Schaefer and have never been disappointed! She gave me the perfect amount of filler in my lips exactly where I wanted it. I feel more confident and love my lips now. I also had the HIFU (High-intensity focused ultrasound) done around my belly button and my stomach has never looked better! I was extremely skeptical about it at first, but the results don't lie. My stomach has always been a problem area and Dr. Schaefer has changed that now!
🔟 Top 10 LipoHIFU Questions — Answered by Dr. Kathryn Schaefer, MD
1. Where does the fat go after a LipoHIFU treatment?
The treated fat cells are broken down and naturally eliminated by your body’s lymphatic and metabolic systems, leaving behind a slimmer, more contoured waistline.
2. How do I know if LipoHIFU is right for me?
We assess your candidacy based on the amount of fat in the target area, your overall health, and your aesthetic goals. LipoHIFU is ideal for patients seeking non-surgical waistline reduction.
3. How long does a typical treatment take?
Most LipoHIFU sessions for the abdomen and flanks take approximately one hour.
4. How is LipoHIFU different from other fat reduction treatments?
Unlike treatments that require multiple sessions, LipoHIFU can reduce your waistline by 1 inch (2.5 cm) — roughly one dress or pant size — in a single one-hour treatment.
5. Does the procedure hurt?
Discomfort varies. Some patients report mild sensations; others experience more intensity. We can adjust the energy level instantly or recommend pain relief options to keep you comfortable.
6. What does LipoHIFU cost?
Pricing depends on the size and number of areas treated. Because LipoHIFU is customizable, we’ll create a personalized plan and quote during your consultation.
7. What should I expect after treatment?
You may experience mild redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area. These effects typically resolve within a few days.
8. How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see visible results after just one treatment, with continued improvement over 8 to 12 weeks.
9. How does LipoHIFU compare to Cryolipolysis (fat freezing)?
Both are non-invasive, but LipoHIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to heat and disrupt fat cells, while Cryolipolysis freezes them. LipoHIFU offers smoother, more uniform results without suction or skin pulling.
10. Will LipoHIFU help me lose weight?
LipoHIFU targets fat volume, not overall weight. You’ll notice a reduction in inches, not pounds. Many patients feel motivated to pursue further weight loss, and we offer prescription weight loss options that have helped patients lose up to 75 lbs.
