Vaser Lipo Harnesses the Power of Ultrasound
to Remove Fat in Just Hours

Now, you can lie comfortably on a bed with local anesthesia and lose those fat pockets in just 1-2 hours. Using a new ultrasound technology called Vaser Lipo, the fat can be gently melted away leaving a smooth end result. Amazingly, you can walk home right after liposuction and return to work a day or two after.

In the wide awake technique, very small instruments are used. This permits a more delicate and gentle approach to liposuction. Since the patient is awake during the procedure he or she can stand up so the body can be sculpted more accurately. By mixing wide awake liposuction and the benefits of Vaser Lipo technology, we are able to combine safety and better results.

Vaser Lipo uses the gentle power of ultrasound to remove unwanted fat without damaging surrounding tissues such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue to promote smooth contours and rapid healing. The selective action of the Vaser Lipo system minimizes pain and bruising, and thus decreases downtime. Since the fat is first softened by gentle ultrasonic waves, the end result is smooth and predictable. The VASER is not a laser. VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. The ultrasonic energy is transformed primarily to vibration energy which is transmitted to the fat cells by small probes. The fat cells are “shaken” apart and then mixed with fluid. Then, small cannulas are used to suction and remove this fat/water mixture (emulsification).

How Vaser Lipo Works

  • Vaser Lipo technology generates sound energy similar to that used to remove cataracts in the eye
  • Small patented probes transmit sound waves that break apart fat on contact
  • The emulsified fat is easily removed via suction and massage of the treated area
  • Fatty tissue consists primarily of adipose (fat) cells, but also contains other important tissues
  • Sound waves break up fat for removal while leaving nerves, blood vessels and other connective tissues largely undisturbed
  • Once emulsified, fat is easily removed with minimal disturbance to important structural tissue to yield smooth results

Patient Advantages

UltraSmooth. The tissue selectivity of the ultrasound energy used in Vaser Lipo facilitates even and shapely contouring.

UltraSelective. The patented Vaser Lipo technology is so sensitive and precise that it can be used in even the most delicate areas.

UltraSound. The precise, controlled power of ultrasound can now be used to remove unwanted fat deposits with low to minimal pain!

  • Predictable results
  • Smooth contouring
  • Minimal trauma
  • Demonstrated safety
  • Fast recovery
  • Minimal pain and bruising

Common Misconceptions

“Vaser Lipo will help me lose weight”
Because fat is light (it weighs less than water), removing fat pockets should not be viewed as a weight loss alternative. The goal of Vaser Lipo is to help you achieve a slimmer silhouette.

“The fat will move to another body part”
Fat removed with Vaser Lipo is gone and, assuming a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and exercise, will not return or migrate to another area.

“My breasts will get bigger”
Removing fat pockets from your body will not increase your breast size. You may notice, however, that your slimmer silhouette provides your breasts a new emphasis.

“I can eat whatever I want and never get fat in this part”
It is important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and exercise. Your post-operative shape is relatively permanent, so subsequent weight gain or loss will tend to be proportionately distributed over your entire body. Because some body fat is necessary for the sake of your health, fatty tissue that remains after Vaser Lipo will expand if you gain weight.

Also, please remember that having this procedure will not prevent body changes that are part of the normal aging process.
