The Vaser® technology is still quite new, but gaining in popularity in both the UK and the USA.

Product Overview:

With hundreds of thousands of patients seeking various lipo procedures every year, Vaser® is increasing in popularity because of its unique technology used to trim fatty areas,. Vaser® incorporates a selective process, allowing surgeons to break up and remove unwanted, stubborn fat with greater ease and precision.

Vaser® Liposelection® Surgery and How It Works

There are many terminologies used for fat removal surgery, mainly liposuction, which is also referred to in the medical and consumer sectors as liposculpture, lipectomy, lipo and lipoplasty.

Millions of people all over the world seek various lipo techniques, and Vaser® is one of the newer options offered by the surgeons and physicians who invest in the Vaser® system. The best candidates for any lipo procedure are those individuals who have tried dieting and exercise, but still have fatty areas or "pockets" that are unresponsive to regime and healthy lifestyle.

Patients seek the ultrasound Vaser® liposuction technique or lipo to shape and contour many areas of the body, including:

• Arms
• Hips
• Chest
• Breasts
• Knees
• Ankles
• Waist
• Stomach
• Chin
• Back
• Buttocks
• Neck
• Thighs

All of these lipo techniques are performed while the patient is under anesthesia, either general or local in addition to light sedation. Vaser® liposuction is painless and produces great results, immediately and permanently. The recovery time is quick! Patients are back to work and their normal lifestyles within a couple of days. Because only tiny incisions are made for entry, there are no stitches required

The Vaser® system emits ultrasonic energy waves through tip of the Vaser® device, which emulsifies or liquefies the fat, before it is extracted through the vacuum attached to a Vaser® patented probe or cannula.

Many doctors say they prefer the Vaser® system, because of its selective process and method – and they feel it allows them to get past the vessels and nerve tissue, reach the fatty areas and remove the fat using the precise VASER® probes and tools (2.2 - 3.7mm in diameter). The special VASER® probes have patented grooves allowing the ultrasound energy to emit and distribute evenly from all sides of the probe. Surgeons who use the Vaser® system proclaim they get more refined results and definition when sculpting the arms, neck, chin and inner thighs.

The Vaser® technique is much like the other traditional liposuction procedures. The surgeon first injects a saline solution containing a special drug to increase adrenaline in the area, reduce blood flow to the region, shrink blood vessels and limit bleeding. An anesthetic is also introduced to the treatment area (usually a lignocaine/lidocaine) through the tiny incisions. This solution loosens the fatty tissue, which emulsifies the fat and increases the results of the ultrasound system.

Most Vaser® lipo patients will have little or no bruising after the surgery. Downtime is minimal and the results are amazing and permanent.
