The Vaser Lipo procedure is a form of liposuction.
Vaser liposculpture has two main points of difference over traditional liposuction. Firstly it allows the doctor much greater precision and secondly, it creates skin tightening through a thermal contraction.
The Vaser Lipo procedure is performed with a highly focused ultrasonic beam. The energy is transmitted through a thin titanium probe which selectively melts the excess fat leaving supportive structures, blood vessels and nerves intact.
The melting action means that the tissues are not traumatised during the procedure and therefore discomfort is significantly less and recovery times are shorter.
The instrument allows creating more visible muscle definition, by selectively melting the fat between the muscles.
The thermal contraction of collagen fibres induced by the Vaser allows the ability to produce skin tightness.
The quality of a liposuction Australia is heavily dependent on the doctors ability. Vaser offers greater precision and allows better skin tightness.
How Vaser Liposculpture works
The target area is first injected with a saline solution mixed with an anaesthetic. This helps numb the area and prevent bleeding during the process. Moreover, this solution also helps break up fatty tissue. After injection, Dr Rastogi will create an incision into your skin. The probes will be then inserted through the incision. Once in the proper position, the device will deliver an ultrasonic beam to break the fats. A small, thin tube attached to a powerful suction will be used to remove the fat tissues out of the treated area. A small amount of the solution will be left on the treated area to reduce discomforts. After a few days, your body will absorb the solution.
