The latest liposuction surgery available today is vaser lipo (abbreviation for liposuction). Widely seems as the gentlest and most powerful form of liposuction, the results have impressed both the medical profession and patients who have had the treatment.

Vaser is an acronym for vibration amplification of sound energy and resonance and the science behind it lies in its selectivity i.e. it can be very precisely targeted.

Vaser Lipo makes use of ultrasound energy which breaks up fat in the body. Its great advantage is that it leaves veins, nerves and local connective tissue intact. This in turn gives smooth results together with faster healing,and causes less pain than more traditional treatments. Swelling and bruising are minimized

Men also seek help with such treatments and typically the areas they are looking for improvement on are love handles and male breasts, whereas women normally request work on their abdomen, thighs and buttocks.

Until now more delicate areas of the body,such as chins and knees, were seldom worked on but vaser lipo offers much more accuracy and these areas can now be treated successfully.

The first part of the process is to melt or dissolve body fat using ultrasound which is delivered to the target area using grooved probes. These help turn fat into liquid which is then removed using suction and massage. The ultrasound only works on fatty cells and simply bounces off nerves, blood vessels and other body tissue. This is why there is much less damage to the body and why recovery times are better. However a local anaesthetic is needed

Results are very quick and all swelling associated with the procedure takes about 7 days to settle and, over the coming months, skin naturally tightens.

In order to demonstrate the improved medical technique a recently published report stated that people having vaser lipo, do not suffer from conditions such as seroma, skin induration or necrosis which have all been associated with earlier liposuction methods. Compared to other types of liposuction treatment, the amount of fat to be removed can safely be increased.
