THE DIFFERENCE

INFILTRATION

VASERlipo infiltration
VASERlipo infiltration

Tumescent Infusion – Tumescent fluid containing small gas bubbles 5 to 10 microns in size is infused throughout targeted fat tissue. Tight junctions between cells within blood vessel walls and connective tissues prevent gas bubbles from interspersing among and affecting these tissues.1,2

FRAGMENTATION

VASERlipo fragmentation
VASERlipo fragmentation

Cavitation – Acoustic energy delivered through an ultrasonic probe results in rapid formation and collapse of bubbles in the tumescent fluid, dislodging clusters of intact fat cells with minimal (if any) impact on vessels, nerves, and other tissues.1-3

VASERlipo fragmentation

Acoustic streaming – Grooves on ultrasonic probe generate strong localized fluid forces, further separating dislodged fat clusters into smaller clumps, which tend to be easier to aspirate and use during fat grafting procedures.1,3,4

ASPIRATION

Fat Removal – A small diameter cannula designed to minimize trauma to vessels, nerves, and the fibrous tissue matrix is inserted to gently suction out the mixed fat cell and tumescent fluid emulsion.1-5

RETRACTION

VASERlipo retraction
VASERlipo retraction

Tissue Remodeling – Adipose tissue removal during liposuction creates a space for retraction to occur. Post-procedure skin retraction is maximized when the superficial fatty layer is “thinned” with minimal trauma to tissues and the elastic subcutaneous connective tissue matrix is preserved. This allows the skin to naturally retract and re-drape to the underlying frame during the healing process.1-4

VASERlipo model

ADVANCING THE ART OF LIPOSUCTION

The VASER Advantage:

  • Provides surgeons with advanced technology to create dramatic contouring compared to traditional liposuction
  • Enhanced skin retraction for smooth results compared to traditional liposuction
  • Treat multiple areas in a single procedure
  • Less pain, swelling and downtime than traditional liposuction
  • Immediate and precise sculpting vs. non-invasive treatments

RESULTS THAT MATTER

To truly see and hear all that Vaser can mean to your practice, you’ll want to talk to one of our practice specialists. We can answer questions about system flexibility, treatment efficacy, patient demand and of course, practice investment.
