Vaser Liposuction

Vaser Liposuction (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) uses ultrasound energy to break up and liquefy fat cells before they are gently suctioned out. The ultrasound waves selectively target fat while leaving surrounding tissues like nerves, blood vessels, and muscles mostly unaffected. This precision allows for smoother, more defined results compared to traditional methods.

How Does Vaser Liposuction Work?

1. Ultrasound Technology: Vaser Liposuction employs ultrasound energy to liquefy fat. A probe is inserted into the skin, emitting sound waves that disrupt fat cells, turning them into a liquid that is then easily removed via suction.
2. Gentle Fat Removal: Once liquefied, the fat is gently removed with a cannula, a small
   tube that suctions the fat without causing damage to other tissues.
3. Body Sculpting: Because the procedure is highly targeted, it allows for precise body sculpting, helping to contour areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin for a smoother, more natural look.

Benefits of Vaser Liposuction in Dermatology

• • Minimally Invasive: Vaser Liposuction requires only small incisions, minimizing trauma to the body and leading to faster recovery times. It also reduces the risk of complications such as excessive bruising and swelling.
  • Enhanced Precision and Contouring: The ultrasound technology used in Vaser Liposuction provides greater control and precision. It allows dermatologists to sculpt the body in ways that are not possible with traditional liposuction techniques.
  • Faster Recovery: Due to its minimally invasive nature, patients often experience less swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Many return to their normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.
  • Skin Tightening: Vaser Liposuction promotes collagen production in the treated area, which can result in some degree of skin tightening, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
  • Have localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Ideal Candidates for Vaser Liposuction

• Are in generally good health and have realistic expectations about their results.
• Are looking to sculpt areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, flanks, back, and chin.
• Prefer a minimally invasive procedure with less downtime and faster recovery.

Areas Treated with Vaser Liposuction

Vaser Liposuction can be performed on various parts of the body, including:

• Abdomen: Achieve a flatter, more toned abdomen by targeting stubborn fat areas.
• Thighs and Hips: Sculpt the thighs and reduce unwanted fat from the hip area for a
  more contoured silhouette.
• Arms: Reduce arm fat and create a smoother, more toned appearance.
• Back and Love Handles: Contour the back and sides by removing fat from the bra line or love handle areas.
• Chin and Neck: Refine the chin and neck area by targeting fat under the chin, creating a more defined jawline.
