Vaser Procedure

Vaser, the trade name for an ultrasound-assisted liposuction system, is used to extract fatty tissues from your body by using sound waves that emulsifies targeted fat cells. As compared to the other methods of fat extractions, the Vaser Procedure results in less tearing of the surrounding tissues, therefore, reducing blood loss, pain and bruising.

Vaser is the abbreviated form of Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It received FDA clearance for body contouring in 2002. Vaser works as sound energy is transmitted through small probes and rapidly vibrates inside. This ultrasound energy that penetrates inside your body breaks the cellular membrane and discharges the lipid content. The Vaser system selectively emulsifies only the fat and does not harm the other tissues.

The Vaser system comprises various sections that include:

• Vaser Amplifier
• Vaser Grooved Probes and Handpieces
• VentX® Precision Vented Cannulae
• VentX Aspiration
• Precision Fluid Management System
• Precision Canister System
• Reversible Peristaltic Pump

Vaser Lipo System
The VASER Lipo System is an ultrasonic body, shaping technology and surgical technique that shapes your body. It is a third-generation internal ultrasound system is different from other methods of fat extraction. The difference can be marked with the small-diameter, solid grooved probes, pulsed delivery of the ultrasonic vibratory energy and emulsification of the fatty tissue prior to extraction. The VASER Lipo System works by making small-diameter solid and multi-ringed probes. Ultrasonic vibrating energy is delivered to the specific targets. The vibrations liquefy the fatty component of the tissue matrix. The large and weak fat cells of the fatty tissue are dislodged from their supporting tissues as they come in contact with the ultrasonic VASER probe. If the cosmetic surgery process is properly carried on, then this Vaser procedure does not generate heat.

Advantages of the Vaser Procedure
The advantages of the Vaser Procedure include:

• No complications
• No burns
• No contour irregularities or prolonged swelling
• VASER Lipo can be performed without general anesthesia
• No damage to the skin incision sites
• Small access incisions 3 – 4 mm
• Minimal blood loss
• Improved skin retraction
