Tickle Lipo comes to Houston – Dr. Barbara Marino is one of the first in the area.

Sept. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Houston - A new liposuction procedure that offers better results, faster procedures and high patient satisfaction is now offered by Dr. Barbara D. Marino, medical director of Body Design by Marino medical spa.

Tickle Lipo™ is named for the slight tickling sensation some patients report during the procedure. It employs a unique motion, referred to as “nutational”, which stimulates this tickling sensation during the liposuction process.

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.

The nutational vibration of the cannula also interferes with the brain’s pain receptors in the same way that scratching relieves an itch.  A selection of specialized cannulas used in the Tickle Lipo technique allows the physician to better maneuver through fibrous or harder to reach areas of fat, enabling precise body contouring.  

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 long lasting natural facial filler instead of using synthetic injectables.
