Introducing LipoSelection by VASER®, an attractive alternative to traditional liposuction to remove unwanted fat. This revolutionary procedure offers smooth results, with low to minimal patient discomfort. LipoSelection by VASER selectively breaks up and removes fat cells from the abdomen, arms, back, hips, knees, love handles, neck and chin, saddlebags, thighs – any place you’ve developed a little “extra cushioning”.
LipoSelection by VASER leaves important tissues – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue – relatively undamaged to yield exceptional smooth, shapely results. Only LipoSelection by VASER provides you an experience that is UltraSelective, UltraSmooth, UltraSound!
The LipoSelection by VASER® Difference
The LipoSelection by VASER procedure uses innovative ultrasound technology for fatty tissue emulsion and aspiration. The VASER System's ultrasound energy breaks up fatty tissue while leaving surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue relatively intact. LipoSelection allows physicians to work with such precision that they can shape delicate areas like the inner thighs, arms, chin and neck.
If you are among the potential millions of individuals seeking a fast, low-pain* path to a slimmer, more youthful body, LipoSelection could be the solution for you.
How It Works
1. During the LipoSelection procedure, your physician identifies the target areas that you would like to treat.
2. The physician makes a tiny incision in the targeted area. A saline solution mixed with lidocaine and epinephrine is infused to help shrink blood vessels and numb the area to be treated.
3. The physician then inserts a thin probe that emits ultrasonic waves to break up fat deposits.
4. Once the fatty tissue is emulsified, it can be removed through the small incision with controlled suction and massage. Any residual fatty tissue not removed from the body is either absorbed or smoothly reshaped to the contour of your frame.
Patient Advantages
People come in all different shapes and sizes. Every body type has predisposed areas of fat storage and, even with a rigorous diet and exercise; you can’t always remove the unwanted bulges. With expanding technology and medical advances, there is now an exciting method to shape your body and get rid of those stubborn fat deposits on most parts of your body.
LipoSelection only by VASER is:
UltraSelective
Until now, traditional surgical fat removal procedures have been more about mechanical removal and suction of fatty tissue (including surrounding nerves, blood vessels and other connective tissue). LipoSelection is different because it breaks up unwanted fat leaving surrounding tissue relatively intact. Using patented VASER technology, the LipoSelection procedure uses ultrasonic energy to break down fat cells, which are then removed through a small, specially-designed cannula. With LipoSelection by VASER, fatty tissue is removed, leaving behind the web of important tissue critical to smooth, shapely results.
• Since blood vessels are minimally disrupted, LipoSelection by VASER patients report low to minimal bruising.
• Since nerves are left relatively undisturbed, LipoSelection by VASER patients report low to minimal pain.
• LipoSelection by VASER is so precise and efficient that it can be applied to highly delicate areas such as the inner thighs, arms, neck and chin, yet it also works efficiently in even the most fibrous areas such as the back and chest.
UltraSmooth
While traditional surgical fat removal technologies are effective at removing fat, the lack of tissue selectivity means that a significant amount of important surrounding tissue is being removed in addition to the fat, which can often create unshapely lumps and dimples. LipoSelection by VASER works so consistently and precisely that you can get the results you and your physician expect.
UltraSound
Ultrasound technology has been used for years to get that first glimpse of a baby, remove cataracts and even to clean teeth. Now this power has been harnessed for use in fat removal.
• Small, patented grooved probes transmit sound energy
• High frequency sound waves created by the probe vibrating at 36,000 times per second can break apart less resistant fat cells on contact, while leaving surrounding tissue relatively intact.
• LipoSelection by VASER’s proprietary technology first breaks up and emulsifies and then removes fat cells, which is why it provides such smooth, predictable results.
Medical advances in plastic surgery are tremendous and if you’re thinking about a fat removal procedure, you owe it to yourself to look at new and progressive techniques.
