New York, NY, January 27, 2010 -- Dr. Steven Victor, medical director at Steven Victor MD MediSpa (www.stevenvictormdmedispa.com)
“I am really excited to be able to be the first physician in the New York Region with this new type of liposuction. Patients love it because it is performed under local tumescent anesthesia while the patient is awake, there is little to no pain during the procedure and the results are great,” said Dr. Victor. Compared to other tumescent liposuction techniques, CAL disburses tumescent numbing solution faster, comforting the patient and allowing me to perform detailed body contouring in a shorter amount of time.”
“The vibration of CAL allows it to more easily glide through the fibrous areas and because of the assortment of smaller suction cannula’s, I am better able to provide high definition body contouring in the more difficult to reach areas. I have seen more men visit me for the CAL procedure including those men who have gynecomastia (enlarged breasts) to have their breast size decreased then contoured and defined,” Said Dr. Victor.
How it Works: CAL differs from other methods of tumescent liposuction because the surgical cannula is activated by air pressure causing a triple 3-D movement (vibration, rotation and reciprocation)
Benefits to the patient:
• Procedure done while patient is awake so no general anesthesia necessary
• Bruising is lessened
• Little or no pain during procedure
• Quicker recovery time
• Results are realized almost immediately
• Precise body contouring
“Compared to some of the newer laser liposuction techniques, CAL preserves the fat that is removed so it can be used for secondary fat transfer or cosmetic injection filler procedures whereas the Laser technique of liposuction liquefies the fat and it cannot be harvested to inject for cosmetic enhancements. Harvesting the patient’s own body fat to inject in other body locations to enhance features is a very hot topic right now amongst the cosmetic industry,” said Dr. Victor.
About Custom Acoustic Liposuction:
Custom Acoustic Liposuction (CAL) www.cal-now.com is the newest form of Liposuction offered in the United States. It was first introduced in Belgium by a physician who performed several Liposuction procedures per day. Liposuction procedures require a good amount of physical exertion on the part of the physician performing the procedure so CAL was developed with an objective of increasing the physician’s performance while decreasing the physician’s effort. CAL has been used in thousands of procedures and presented at more than 100 scientific sessions world-wide. The CAL System offers all of the benefits of current Liposuction technology without most of the inherent risks.
CAL Safety Features: Unlike current Liposuction techniques that utilize laser or ultrasound energy, the surgical cannula used in CAL stays cool, thus eliminating the risk of thermal injury to tissue. Additionally, the CAL System includes an automatic shut off when it inappropriately approaches non-fatty tissue such as skin or muscle. These safety features enable the CAL System to safely and more effectively remove deep fat as well as the superficial fat and create “high-definition”
CAL is FDA cleared for the removal of soft tissue and fluid from the body during general surgical procedures including suction lipoplasty for aesthetic body contouring.
