Dr. Daniel Ronel is among the first physicians in the U.S. to offer Tickle Lipo™

July 15, 2010 - PRLog -- July 15, 2010 – A new liposuction procedure that offers better results, faster procedures and high patient satisfaction is now offered by Dr. Daniel Ronel, a board certified plastic surgeon with offices in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Tickle Lipo™ is named for the slight tickling sensation some patients report during the procedure. Tickle Lipo differs from other methods of tumescent liposuction because the cannula is activated by air pressure, causing a whirling movement, infrasound and thus vibration referred to as “nutational”. This patented technique provides faster infiltration of the tumescent solution – 25% faster than other liposuction technology, shortening the length of the procedure.

Tickle Lipo is one of the newest methods of liposuction offered in the United States. The device offers all of the benefits of current liposuction technology without most of the inherent risks.  

Unlike other Liposuction techniques that utilize the heat of laser or ultrasound energy, the surgical cannula used in Tickle Lipo stays cool, eliminating the risk of heat injury to tissue. Tickle Lipo can be used to safely and more effectively remove deeper fat as well as superficial fat and to execute "high-definition" sculpting. The physician can also harvest the patient’s fat which is removed during liposuction for use as a long lasting natural facial filler instead of using synthetic injectables.  

“This new machine, which is really just new to us, was developed in Belgium and has been used there for some time,” says Dr. Ronel. “It works by using acoustic waves to break up the fat cells, combined with gyrational motion of the tip that happens 10 times per second and does not generate heat. The heat thing was a big deal for me. The little tubes (cannulas) are also only the size of an IV, so it’s much less invasive than traditional lipo.”

“As this machine works, it actually puts in the anesthetic solution at the same time as it melts the fat and sucks it out. This makes it nearly painless, extremely quick, and it’s an in-office procedure that patients will be able to walk out of. This also means quick and easy spot treatments. Also, by having the procedure in-office, it will be notably less expensive because patients won’t have to worry about operating room or anesthesia costs.”
