The first impression is (almost) everything, which is why looking good is high on many people's priority list.
The reasons may vary, but the expectation of results is common.
One of the most sought-after body treatments is fat reduction and body contouring.
Liposuction is a familiar fat treatment, but have you heard of Vaser liposuction?
What is Vaser liposuction?
Vaser liposuction is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive fat reduction and body sculpting treatment.
Being minimally invasive widens its appeal, especially among those seeking a more contoured, better-looking physique.
It is a form of liposuction that uses ultrasonic energy to remove unwanted fat more efficiently.
Difference Between Liposuction and Vaser Liposuction
In traditional liposuction, the doctor moves the cannula back and forth under the skin to break up the fat cells and removes them with a vacuum pump.
Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound waves to break up fat in a gentler, less invasive manner.
Vaser liposuction is not a laser treatment
The name might sound like “laser,” but Vaser stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance.
The ultrasonic energy used in the treatment is converted into mechanical vibration, which is then transmitted to the fat cells via small probes.
The fat cells are broken down and mixed with the fluid.
Small cannulas are then used to suction and remove this mixture.
Benefits of Vaser Liposuction
Apart from being minimally invasive, the Vaser Lipo's other advantages include:
- It can be performed under local anaesthesia
- It has minimal risk of bleeding, bruising and discomfort
- It involves less downtime
- It stimulates collagen production, resulting in tighter skin
The efficacy and benefits of Vaser liposuction make it a viable treatment option for fat reduction and body contouring.
However, it is not a weight loss technique or solution for obesity, and it is not recommended for those with excessive or bulging areas of skin.
Do consult your doctor to find out if the treatment is applicable and, most importantly, appropriate for your needs.
