VASER LIPOSUCTION

Numerous methods have been developed for targeted fat reduction. Non-surgical techniques are particularly in demand, and effective methods in this area are being explored. In the Vaser lipolysis method, ultrasonic energy is used to dissolve localized fat, which is then massaged out through small incisions made in the skin.

The Vaser lipolysis procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, and a single area can be treated in approximately 10 minutes. Initially, ultrasonic energy is applied for several minutes to the subcutaneous fat tissue. The characteristic of ultrasonic energy is its specificity to fat tissue; it selectively dissolves fat without affecting blood vessels and nerve structures. After a few minutes, the unwanted fat turns into a cream-like consistency. Meanwhile, lower doses of ultrasonic energy are delivered using the same Vaser device to also tighten the skin. Finally, the liquefied fat in cream form is massaged out of the area. Afterwards, a small dressing is applied to the area where the fat was removed, and a compression garment is fitted. All these procedures can be completed within 15-20 minutes.

Most non-surgical methods defined for regional slimming are not specific to fat tissue; they can dissolve fat but cannot expel it. None of these methods provide skin tightening. The Vaser lipolysis method selectively dissolves fat tissue, expels the fat, and also provides skin tightening to prevent sagging and waviness.
