When you hear VASER LipoSelection, most people respond by asking: what is that? The cosmetic industry is booming and it seems like new treatments are being introduced almost daily, so it can be somewhat difficult to keep up. But for those who are interested in finding the very best way to reduce unwanted fat for a more defined, contoured shape, then this treatment may be exactly what you need. VASER LipoSelection is an innovative new treatment that utilizes ultrasound technology to remove unwanted facial and body fat with lasting results.

Ultrasonic energy is not something that is new to the medical field, but VASER is the first treatment to utilize ultrasound for the removal of unwanted fat. By utilizing this minimally invasive technology, VASER allows patients to remove unwanted fat without worrying about the risks involved with more traditional forms of liposuction. Traditionally, liposuction involved different levels of invasive surgical treatment that relied on powerful vacuum suction for the removal of unwanted fatty tissue; while this treatment showed high rates of success, localized damage to the surrounding tissue in the treatment area made it somewhat risky. When fat is removed with traditional treatments, the surrounding nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue in the treatment area are damaged and this damage can cause patients to experience excessive bleeding, significant pain, considerable downtime and a certain amount of risk. VASER treatments are truly ground-breaking because they provide comparative fat reduction results without the risk, pain and downtime of more traditional liposuction procedures.

So at this point you’re probably wondering how this fat removal treatment actually works. The ultrasonic energy used in VASER lipo treatments works to effectively emulsify unwanted fat for easy removal. Ultrasound, as an energy source, differs from other fat reduction alternatives because it is tissue selective. Where traditional liposuction causes localized damage to surrounding tissue, VASER has the capabilities to specifically target fatty tissue while leaving the surrounding area largely undisturbed; in being tissue-selective VASER can remove unwanted fat without disturbing bodily tissues that are critical to an optimal recovery.

When you undergo VASER, the treatment will begin with a tiny incision in the targeted area. The incision allows the fatty area to be infused with tumescent fluid. Tumescent fluid is a mixture of the anesthesia Lidocaine and epinephrine (epinephrine works to decrease bleeding and prolong the effects of the lidocaine); this fluid mixture will be injected into the treatment site and will help to minimize bleeding as well as numb the area being treated. Once the fluid is infused, a thin probe will be inserted which will emit ultrasonic waves. The high frequency ultrasonic waves work to selectively break apart unwanted fatty deposits while leaving the important tissues relatively intact; the broken down fat emulsifies into the infusion fluid. At this stage, depending on the level of fat removal, the liquefied fat will either be removed with gentle suction or through manual massage which will encourage the natural removal of fat through the lymphatic system.

VASER is truly revolutionary because it can break down the targeted fat both safely and effectively; after just one treatment, individuals can experience smoother contours and an overall reduction in unwanted fat with minimal pain and minimal downtime. This fat reduction technology is so sensitive and so precise that it is quickly replacing more invasive forms of fat reduction including traditional liposuction. For safe, effective fat reduction results that last, there’s no better choice than the revolutionary VASER LipoSelection.
