Patented VASER Technology and the advanced LipoSelection technique now offer a safe alternative for getting rid of those stubborn fat deposits to provide you a smooth new shape with fast recovery.
What distinguishes the VASER Lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Innovative VASER technology breaks up fat while conserving these other important tissues. Only the LipoSelection procedure uses the proprietary VASER Lipo System to first liquefy fat and then remove it from the body to promote smooth results and rapid healing with low to minimal pain.
VASER can be used on the abdomen, thighs, knees, buttocks, hips, back, arms, male and female breasts, love handles, chin, neck areas and just about any other body part in need of treatment.
Because VASER LipoSelection combines innovative ultrasound technology and advanced surgical techniques, results are smooth and consistent. Plus, the pain, bruising and recovery time are minimal compared to other liposuction procedures.
How Does VASER LipoSelection work?
First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up fatty tissue with the VASER Lipo System’s ultrasound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal from the eye) to break up fatty tissue on contact while preserving other important tissues. Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
There are limits to how much fatty tissue can be safely taken from the body. One way to get a good idea is to stand and bend from the waist. The amount of ‘loose-hanging’ fat you can easily grab above and/or below your waist will approximate what can be removed.
VASER is not intended as a weight loss solution. The goal is to create a slimmer silhouette. You may not notice a significant amount of weight loss, but you should be pleased with a slimmer new shape. Dr. Cain often uses VASER in conjunction with SmartLipo™ to achieve the best results.
