Pacific PureLipo™ is a complete center for weight loss and body sculpting. In addition to the PureLipo™ liposuction procedure, we offer a physician-directed weight loss program, DietMD. DietMD is a comprehensive wellness program, designed to help you lose weight fast, and to maintain your ideal weight for life.

Pacific PureLipo™ is the only medical center in Hawaii to offer PureLipo™ the tremendously advanced form of tumescent liposuction that gives you fantastic body sculpting results in just a few hours, with little downtime, less side effects than traditional lipo, and a lower cost. Our facility is not a medical spa, we are in the professional medical office of Dr. Bruce Katsura, located in the Queens Physicians Office Building II in Honolulu.

Pacific PureLipo is the aesthetic medical practice of Bruce Katsura, M.D.  Our goal is to help our patients look their best, to improve their physical and mental health, and to provide our services in a safe and ethical manner. We provide services including PureLipo™ tumescent liposuction, the DietMD medical weight loss program, Carboxy Therapy for spot fat and cellulite reduction, BOTOX® and Dermal Fillers for reducing wrinkles. We always offer free initial consultations so we can determine what procedure is right for you, and give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about your health and your choices.

Dr. Katsura’s liposuction clients directly benefit from the knowledge and skill he has acquired as a Physiatrist at Queens Hospital. In this practice, Dr. Katsura specializes in restoring optimal function to people with injuries to the muscles, bones, tissues, and nervous system.

Dr. Katsura’s lengthy experience has provided him with extensive knowledge of both invasive and minimally invasive procedures. He has also acquired exceptional skill in delivering injections. As a result, Dr. Katsura is able to proficiently conduct an in-depth body analysis, assess the patient’s specific needs and remove the fat from the targeted areas with minimal patient discomfort.

Dr. Katsura has received specialized training in PureLipo™ procedures from Dr. Alberto Sant Antonio and Dr. Sharon McQuillan, the co-founders of the technique.

INJECTIBLES

Carboxy Therapy, also know as Carbon Dioxide Therapy, is the third part of Pacific PureLipo’s body sculpting program. It is a new, simple and proven technique that can dramatically improve the appearance of cellulite by improving local tissue metabolism and perfusion. CO2 gas stimulates blood flow with several results: skin elasticity improvement, cellulite reduction, localized fat reduction and collagen production stimulation. Carboxy Therapy is safe, relatively painless, and simple to perform. Carboxytherapy has also been proven highly effective for treating stretch marks and scars.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure that reduces forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet by relaxing the muscles that cause them. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. You will be in and out of our office without downtime.

COSMETIC DERMAL FILLERS

JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel instantly restores your skin’s volume and smoothes facial wrinkles and folds. JUVÉDERM® is a gel made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. JUVÉDERM® is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler proven to be safe and effective for all skin types and colors. Results are immediate with little to no downtime and last up to one year.

Restylane® is a safe, natural, FDA-approved cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin correcting facial wrinkles and folds. It can also be used to enhance lips. Restylane® is made from a non-animal based form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in your skin. The hyaluronic acid in your skin diminishes over time, increasing the chances for wrinkles and folds to appear. There is no downtime and results are visible immediately. The effects are long lasting, typically maintaining for 6-12 months.
