The Most Versatile and Innovative body Contouring System on the market
VASER Lipo® Overview:
VASER Lipo is a next-generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction procedure that uses sound waves to precisely break apart fat deposits for easy, safe removal, fast recovery and smooth results.  As a safe, minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo allows physicians to perform minor touch-ups as well as major transformations - with minimal downtime and smooth, predictable results.  The advanced minimally-invasive system is a gold standard for fat removal, enabling physicians to create realistic curves and definition, even for hard-to fix spots.  VASER Lipo is also clinically proven to enhance skin tightening in treated areas.
VASER Lipo uses an advanced, ultrasonic technology that is tissue-selective. This FDA-cleared, patented fat removal device targets only unwanted fat, preserving surrounding tissues-such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue- to promote smooth contours and rapid healing.
Physicians can treat a wide range of body areas with the VASER Lipo system including: tummy, hips, waist, "love handles," thighs, back, "bra bulge," buttocks, arms, male chests, female breasts, knees, calves, "cankles," ankles, chin and face.

The Procedure:
VASER Lipo can be performed while the patient is awake or under general anesthesia.  First, the area to be treated is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink blood vessels. This solution temporarily expands the volume of the area, making the fat cells easier to target and remove. The physician then uses a series of small, thin probes to target the fat with ultrasound.  The energy breaks apart the fat while preserving surrounding tissue, resulting in less bruising and pain than traditional, more invasive procedures. Specially designed thin suction tubes, called VentX Cannulas, are used to remove the emulsified fluids (fat plus saline solution) while preserving the tissue matrix.
Because the VASER procedure preserves the integrity of the fat when removed, it is an excellent choice for patients who want to use their fat to volumize or contour another part of their body such as the buttocks, breasts, hands and face.  When used for fat transfer, VASER fat provides a natural alternative to synthetic implants and dermal fillers.
Clinical Benefits:
·       Smooth, predictable results in all areas of the body
·       Improved skin retraction
·       Reduced number of re-treatments
·       Fast patient recovery
·       Reduced pain, bruising and swelling postoperatively

VASER® - Assisted High Definition LipoSculpture (VASER Hi Def®), is an advanced body sculpting technique. The procedure creates a sculpted, athletic appearance in males and females by precisely removing both superficial and deep fat around muscle groups in order to enhance the visibility of the underlying muscle.  Similar to 3-dimensional sculpting, VASER Hi Def takes into account the shape and form of structures underneath the skin that create body contours for a completely natural look. VASER Hi Def can be performed on multiple body areas including the abdomen, female breast, male chest, back, arms, thighs, buttocks, hips and waist.
