Are you sick of fad diets?

Tired of spending all that time and money at the gym?

What if I told you there is a new technology that can harmlessly remove fat from your body, no surgery required?

Sound too good to be true? Surprisingly this is not a gimmick from a late-night infomercial. UltraShape is a new reality from an Israeli company.

The new technology uses high-intensity ultrasound waves to destroy the fat cells that lie just below the skin’s surface. The broken-up fat cells are then either metabolized as calories or processed through the liver with normal dietary fats.  In addition to being relatively painless, the process leads to an average reduction of two inches on the treated area within a month.

UltraShape was recently mentioned on the website of O: The Oprah Magazine as one of the most promising innovations in the beauty industry. Soon after, the stock’s price soared a meteoric 63% (US $7 million).

We all knew Oprah influences what millions of people are reading in their book clubs, but who knew the effect she can have on the stock market?

You can read more about UltraShape from a beauty angle on O’s website or from a business perspective on ynet.
