Ann Arbor and Troy based Pioneer Dr. Kathleen Gilmore offers Innovative Fat Reduction Technology for visible results within 2 weeks of treatment
Troy, MI – Dr. Kathleen Gilmore, MD, a Troy based physician and founder of Procerus Skin Care with locations in both Ann Arbor and Troy is the first physician in the Midwest to offer the UltraShape™, a breakthrough treatment recently FDA cleared for Fat Cell Destruction.
The UltraShape System developed by medical device leader Syneron Candela is the first and only non invasive fat reduction treatment that uses pulsed focused ultrasound to immediately and comfortably destroy fat cells, resulting in measurable outcomes in as little as two weeks.
The UltraShape device works by emitting emits waves of focused pulsed ultrasonic energy that converge at a closely confined area where patients want to target stubborn fat. Ultrasound is comfortably delivered to the treatment area, while keeping surrounding tissue, nerves and muscles intact and undamaged. Fat cells are destroyed and eliminated by the body’s natural processes as soon as two weeks after treatment resulting in very visible immediate reduction.
“We are very excited about offering UltraShape to our patients. UltraShape’s patented technology allows us to precisely delivery ultrasound energy with extraordinary precision so we can target and destroy fat cells immediately. Unlike traditional ultrasound technology, UltraShape’s delivers energy in pulses rather than in a single continuous delivery which is often painful. The result is a quick, safe and comfortable treatment experience without discomfort, lumps, bumps or soreness associated with many other non-invasive fat reduction treatments, says Dr. Gilmore, who has also been involved in research for bringing multiple body treatment devices for fat reduction and body contouring to market and for approval by the FDA. “Treatments with UltraShape take less than an hour and patients can go right back to their normal activities without any disruption. Nothing works faster than UltraShape” Gilmore adds.
In the randomized, controlled clinical study of UltraShape which was performed at three clinical sites in the US and one site outside of the US, a total of 150 subjects were treated and followed for up to four months. Ninety four percent of patients saw a measurable circumferential reduction with 90 percent of patients being satisfied with their treatment outcomes. This is one of the largest studies ever performed in the area of non-invasive aesthetics.
The UltraShape is a very versatile device that is effective for the reduction of fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. UltraShape is FDA cleared for fat cell destruction and is used to improve body shape and contour.
The UltraShape device has been used in over 300,000 procedures worldwide, with an excellent safety and efficacy profile.

ANN ARBOR: Procerus Skin Care’s Gilmore travels to Philippines on medical mission trip
Published: Monday, December 03, 2012
Dr. Kathleen Gilmore, a physician and owner of Procerus Skin Care in Ann Arbor, was one of several physicians who went on a humanitarian medical mission trip to the Philippines.
In coordination with Global Surge and the Northridge Church in Plymouth, the group of 11 medical professionals has recently returned from the island nation after a two-week mission to care for children, the elderly and families in serious need of medical attention.
Gilmore said the trip to the Pacific demonstrates her commitment to, once a year, take abroad her medical and diagnostic skills to those who have little access to or only poor healthcare available to them.
In recent years, she and her medical team of doctors, dentists and support personnel have also visited Gambia, Cuba, India and the Hope Clinic in Ypsilanti.
After a 14-hour flight to Nagoya, Japan from Detroit and another three-hour air excursion to Manila, the team arrived drained but driven to accomplish their mission, Gilmore said.
“I’ve never seen so many sick children before with hepatitis, fevers, leptospirosis and numerous other infestations, even in very young infants,” Gilmore said in a news release.
“My heart broke over and over again, even as I maintained my ‘game face’ and professional composure.”
Gilmore said that she’s been blessed with an education and career that allows her to give significantly back to those less fortunate.
She and her husband, Dr. Benn Gilmore, a retired ear, nose and throat doctor, are active in the Ann Arbor community and also contribute time and resources to the University of Michigan, where Kathleen Gilmore attended as an undergraduate student.
Dr. Gilmore said, “Not everyone can do everything, but everyone should do something. Even as we very much enjoy our lives, every day to us is Thanksgiving Day. We never forget where we’ve come from and what matters.”
Cellulite, that oh-so-familiar orange peel texture found on the thighs and butt, affects about 80 percent of women, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Though most of us can’t avoid it, there are ways to make it less noticeable. For solutions, we turned to Kathleen Gilmore, M.D., a dermatologist in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
The basic facts
The skin is connected to underlying muscle by bands of fibrous tissue. Cellulite appears when fat cells push up against the skin as the fibrous bands pull down (picture skin bulging through fishnet stockings). Our bodies’ lymphatic system also plays a role; normally it drains fluid from the tissues, but the trapped fat cells and fibrous tissue can block drainage, causing the area to swell, exacerbating the condition.
What to look for
- Family history If your mom has it, you probably will too.
- Age As you get older, muscles and fibrous tissue weaken and lose their ability to contain the fat cells.
- Body mass index (BMI) A higher BMI may mean you have excess fat, making your cellulite more apparent.
- Hormones Estrogen causes fat storage in the hips, thighs, so long, cellulite! What causes dimpling— plus, pro tips on diminishing its appearance. and butt in preparation for childbearing. It also makes fat cells stick together, contributing to the “cottage cheese” effect.
Simple solutions
- Eat a balanced diet This will help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce the chance that cellulite will form.
- Exercise regularly Regular cardio and strength training will make your body and your skin look more taut.
- Slather on a cellulite cream Opt for those with caffeine, which tightens skin temporarily, making it look firmer. We like larins Body Shaping Supplement ($75; clarins.com). For best results, massage in your cream; the pressure can help lessen swelling and improve lymphatic drainage. > Go golden Apply self-tanner to camouflage the look of unsightly lumps. Try St. Tropez Everyday Airbrush ($36; sttropeztan.com).
EXPERT STRATEGY
For persistent cellulite, there are in-offi ce options, says Kathleen Gilmore, M.D. She recommends FDA approved VelaShape, which uses infrared heat, radio frequency energy, and deep massage to shrink fat cells and stimulate circulation.
