VASER
LipoSelection® is an advanced, patented fat removal technology that
is used to remove unwanted fat in various areas of the body such as
the stomach, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, chest, breasts, knees, arms,
ankles, chin, back and neck.
VASER LipoSelection® uses an ultrasonic technology that is tissue-selective,
removing unwanted fat cells but preserving other surrounding tissuessuch
as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Compared to traditional
liposuction surgery, recovery time is faster and the pain and bruising
are less.
In this technique, the incisions that the surgeon makes are small and
heal quickly. A special saline solution is injected into the fatty areas.
The fluid contains a local anesthetic to alleviate pain and blood vessel
constricting drugs to minimize blood loss. A thin probe that emits ultrasonic
waves is inserted and the energy delivered to the area breaks down the
fat into a liquid form. The fat is then suctioned out through the small
incisions.
Aside
from fat reduction, VASER Lipo is also used for body sculpting and contouring
in patients who already have good muscle tone without excessive amounts
of fat or excess skin but desire a more defined and sculpted appearance.
