High frequency vibration of VASER ultrasonic probes emulsifys the fat cells
The VASER Lipo Ultrasound Difference
The VASER® Lipo System represents a major advance in the application of ultrasonic technology to cosmetic procedures. Now, after years of research and development, and thousands of patients, there is finally an ultrasonic body shaping technology and surgical technique designed to provide precise, tissue-selective sculpting. The VASER Lipo System is a third-generation internal ultrasound system specifically designed to preserve as much of the tissue matrix as possible, yet still remove the desired amount of fatty tissue. This approach helps minimize post-operative pain and bruising and also addresses the limitations inherent in the previous two generations of internal ultrasound devices.
What makes the VASER Lipo System different?
Small-diameter, solid grooved probes – Deliver the optimal amount of ultrasonic vibrating energy to specifically target and emulsify fatty tissue.
Pulsed delivery of the ultrasonic vibratory energy – Reduces the amount of energy delivered to the tissue by as much as 50% compared to the first and second generations of internal ultrasound-assisted Lipoplasty.
Emulsification of the fatty tissue prior to extraction – Reduces damage to tissue matrix when performing aspiration for fast patient recovery and reduced physician fatigue.
In a recent survey, VASER physicians reported the following technology benefits:
Improved skin retraction
Reduced physician fatigue
Smooth contours in all body areas
Reduced number of re-treatments
Minimal patient pain and bruising
Fast patient recovery
How It Works
The VASER Lipo System uses small-diameter, solid, multi-ringed probes to deliver a minimal level of ultrasonic vibrating energy to specifically target and emulsify—or “liquefy”—the fatty component of the tissue matrix. Fatty tissue is comprised of large, weak fat cells that either lyse or which are dislodged from their supporting tissues by contact with the ultrasonic VASER probe. With proper surgical technique, this process does not generate heat.
By emulsifying the fatty tissue prior to extraction, aspiration can be performed with less avulsion (less tearing of the tissues). The VASER Lipo procedure does not utilize standard suction assisted Liposuction to remove the emulsified tissues and fluids. Instead, specially designed aspiration cannulae, called VentX® Cannulae, are used to efficiently remove the emulsified fluids while preserving the tissue matrix.
