VASER Lipo is currently considered to be the globally preferred choice for patients considering undergoing a liposuction procedure. Also known as LipoSelection, it is an advanced method of contouring the body and removing unwanted body fat with selective precision.
It is a preferred alternative to the harsh methods of traditional liposuction because it uses the very latest technology, utilising ultrasound to lightly reshape your form. What significantly differentiates VASER Lipo from the traditional methods of liposuction is that VASER’s technology allows it to be used to target unwanted fatty tissue whilst nerves, blood vessels and other tissue untouched. This allows for smooth results and a swift recovery for the patient.
Conversely, traditional liposuction is not such a pleasant experience for the patient. Traditional liposuction employs a metal tube that the doctor has to manually manipulate inside the patient’s body. This can often lead to a great deal of bleeding, swelling and the destruction of surrounding tissue. Because VASER Lipo involves the precise use of ultrasound technology, the same problems simply does not occur, leading to a quicker, safer and less invasive procedure.
One of the biggest problems with traditional liposuction is that after the procedure, the person could still have loose skin. This could only be resolved by cutting the skin away. With VASER Lipo, the skin can naturally tighten after the procedure to produce a more sculpted look.
VASER Lipo procedures do not require general anaesthesia. There is no surgery, so the risks are greatly lowered and recovery times greatly increased.
Because the VASER Lipo treatment emulsifies the fat, it is simply suctioned away as a liquid, rather than the more traumatic traditional approach of sucking lumps of fat from the body. Sometimes a small amount of liquid fat is absorbed back into the body, but blood tests show it does not enter the bloodstream.
With traditional liposuction procedures, the patient may require several months in bandages. With VASER Lipo, people can go back to work within a few days. They will wear bandages for a few weeks, but that’s nothing compared to healing and recovery times of ordinary traditional liposuction.
The results of VASER Lipo are permanent, meaning that the body does not regenerate removed fat cells. Some of the other top advantages of VASER Lipo are:
1. No overnight stay in hospital required
2. Procedure under local anaesthetic
3. Limited discomfort and quick recovery times
4. Minimal bleeding or bruising
5. Safest and most effective procedure available
VASER Lipo is suitable for use on fatty areas all over the body and is currently used to remove fat from areas such as the neck and chin area, breasts, chest and arms, thighs, hips and buttocks, and the stomach and waist. It is a versatile non-invasive approach to removing unwanted fat and sculpting the body for a more pleasing physical appearance.
VASER Lipo is a safe and quick alternative to traditional liposuction with little discomfort and incredible results.
