Thats not liposuction.
And from looking at the pics I am unconvinced of its affectiveness, but I guess you could try a treatment if its cheap.

It's not invasive, if that's what you mean.  However, localized areas of fat are still eliminated from beneath the skin as fat cells are removed from the body.

The doc and patient discuss the patients '2nd' treatment for tummy fat reduction. I wonder just 'how many' treatments are required to achieve 'expected' results. At $1000 - $2000 per treatment, that could get very costly...   :o

The treatment is only for people who are at most moderatly overweight.  It's more for toning stubborn fatty areas that are difficult to lose through proper diet and exercise.  But if one had a relatively minor case of gyne, would it not appear be an equally effective alternative to traditional lipo? Even if it did take 3 or 4 treatments.

For me, in a word, "no".

For one thing, define "minor case".

Plus, I would find it cost prohibitive to spend around $6,000 on 3 or 4 treatments AND then have to go have my glands surgically removed anyway.  

Sorry, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but for removing gynecomastia that thing just seems like nonsense to me.  Maybe I'll be proven wrong.  I hope I am.

Irrespective of cost, if one had a relatively minor case of gyne, it would appear to be an equally effective alternative to traditional lipo.  I think it would reduce/eliminate any undesireable results from traditional lipo.  I'll let you know how it works.
