Vaser Liposuction

Vaser liposuction, Overview

Vaser lipo or Vaser liposuction or liposelection is a safe minimally invasive procedure with predictable results and fast recovery. Vaser lipo uses ultrasound technology to specifically target the fat cells, by disrupting, emulsifying and completely melting fatty tissues but preserving other tissues and essential elements such as veins and nerves. Vaser lipo safely removes fat deposits from small to very large areas with minimal downtime. Our Vaser lipo prices start from 1500 Pounds. Please read more below by clicking on each question.

• What is Vaser liposuction (liposelection)?

  Vaser liposuction or Vaser lipo is a less invasive and safer liposuction method compared with the traditional liposuction. Vaser lipo is a revolutionary fat removal ultrasound technology in which the latest (third-generation ultrasound) works as a fat reduction device. Vaser lipo melts fat by powerful-vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance. Vaser liposuction allows the operator to target specific fatty layers in the body to create a sculpted appearance. Vaser liposuction or liposelection precisely removes superficial and deep fat from the body, from very minor touch ups to major altrations with sculpted appearances .
  
  Vaser liposuction is using ultrasound technology to specifically target fatty cells, disrupting, emulsifying and completely melting fatty tissues but preserving other tissues and essential elements such as veins and nerves. After liquefying fat by Vaser lipo,  the liquid fat can easily be removed from the body, by the same Vaser lipo unique aspiration pump.

  Occasionally, we carry out Vaser liposuction and laser/SmartLipo lipolysis in combination on the some clients in our cosmetic clinic to improve final results such as contraction and skin tightening . We use Vaser liposuction to treat larger area of fat deposits but Smartlipo for very small area of fat deposit. Vaser liposuction is also more effective for treating areas with denser and more fibrous tissues such as the back and male breast reduction. It is known that Vaser lipo is better for male breast reduction than other methodes.
  It is thought Vaser liposuction is a gentle method of treating fat deposits which are resistant to diet and exercise. It is estimated that Vaser liposuction possibly removes three times the fat per unit area compared with laser lipolysis. This means in selected areas with Vaser liposuction more fat can be removed aggressively from each individual area with much better final results.
  Vaser liposuction or Vaser liposelection has also been used for a unique technique called "high-definition Liposculpture". Vaser liposuction high-definition Liposculpture (Vaser Hi Def) is when the underlying abdominal musculature can be contoured with a unique “six pack abs” appearance. The technique has been developed by Dr Hoyos and Dr Millard in the USA and has been described as a marriage between science and unique Vaser lipo technology.
  Vaser liposuction three-dimensional technique combines precise removal of superficial and deep fat to enhance the patient’s own muscular appearance and gives a high definition finish. Therefore, Vaser liposuction unique capabilities have been used for less invasive, less traumatic and much more precise liposuction procedures with much greater achievements.
  In common with other cosmetic procedures, Vaser liposuction is usually being used for "liposuction for the physically fit individuals" who wish to contour their body shape. However, it is widely known that Vaser liposuction causes less bleeding and bruising because Vaser liposuction technology is selective in targeting only fat cells, therefore, preserving blood vessels and other non-fatty tissues.
  Vaser liposuction (Vaser Liposelection) only emulsifies fatty deposits; therefore, during Vaser liposuction, nerve and vascular injuries are unlikely and Vaser liposuction less likely to cause contour irregularities and complications. Vaser liposuction can treat larger areas of fat deposits because: Vaser liposelection technique is powerful and selective in emulsifying fatty tissue and the same piece of Vaser lipo equipment is also able to aspirate (suction) emulsified fat out of the body. Therefore, during Vaser liposuction procedure the operator can remove the fatty tissues with ease and speed from the body.
  Vaser lipo has several blunt micro-cannulae which can be used to reduce trauma to the tissues. Emulsifying fatty tissue by Vaser liposuction is the first and main stage of Vaser liposuction because aspiration (suction) can be carried out during a relatively short period of time. There are some people who say laser lipolysis has gained popularity beyond its capability and some clinics use laser lipolysis such as Smartlipo to attract patients but once they receive consultation and are given impatial information about other options such as Vaser liposuction, they are likely to end up having Vaser liposuction, which offers everything laser lipolysis does and even more.
  Like other methods of fat reduction such as traditional liposuction and Smartlipo laser lipolysis the ideal patient for Vaser liposuction is someone who is active and visiting the gym with a healthy diet, who has stubborn fatty deposits. However, Vaser liposuction and other liposuction procedures should not be used for weight reduction, despite the fact that larger volumes of fat can be successfully removed by Vaser liposuction. Vaser liposelection or Vaser lipo is an ultrasonic device that assists the doctors to reduce trauma and downtime to the patient and Vaser liposuction means probably less fatigue for the doctor.
  Vaser liposuction is particularly more suitable for back fat deposits and those clients who have already had liposuction or tummy tucks, as they have more dense fibrous and scar tissues.
  Vaser liposuction is better, with less discomfort, less bruising and less downtime compared with traditional liposuction. Many patients require no pain killers after the Vaser liposuction procedure. Reports from the USA reveals that a comparison between back Vaser liposuction and non-Vaser liposuction shows that a larger volume of fat was removed with Vaser liposuction as well as approximately one third less bruising within 48 hours after the operation.

• Which one is more suitable for me; traditional liposuction, laser lipo (Smartlipo) or Vaser liposuction?

  For comparison of different available methods of liposuction please see below, the next question. However, traditional liposuction still has some usage but laser lipo (Smartlipo) and similar laser devices, radiofrequency and other technologies are in the market with a variety of  qualities and diversity of specifications. Therefore, because Vaser lipo is manufactured and suplied worldwide by the same company (Sound Surgical, USA) could be more reliable with predictable results. For the same reason, Vaser liposuction is probably the most effective minimally invasive method in practice for removing stubborn fatty areas from the body. However, Vaser liposuction should not be regarded as a weight loss measure or as a substitute for an active lifestyle and sensible diet.
  Generally speaking, Vaser lipo is more powerful and most probably a better option. During your initial consultation at our cosmetic surgery clinic, Doctors Makeover, our cosmetic surgeon will guide you on different methods of fat removal and you will be able to select the most suitable procedure for your unique circumstances.

• Why VASER lipo (liposelection) technology is superior to other fat reducing technologies?

  There are several reasons; as Vaser liposuction is a safe procedure and has a wide range of contouring applications for the body. Furthermore, among liposuction technologies, Vaser liposuction or Vaser liposelection is the only system which selectively pre-treat and emulsify the fat before being removing the liquefied fat from the body by the same Vaser lipo system, with smooth and predictable final results. Therefore, Vaser has been promoted as "a Step Above the Rest".

• How do you compare the current liposuction technologies?

  Technology	Tissue Selective	Pre-treats fat prior to removal	Primary Mechanism	Typical Volume	Treatment Limitations
  Vaser Lipo	yes	yes	Emulsification and aspiration	Small to Very Large	None
  Other Ultrasound Assisted Lipo (UAL)	yes, Partially	yes	Emulsification and Avulsion	Medium to Very Large	Too Aggressive for Small Delicate Areas
  Laser Assisted Lipo (LAL)		yes	Vaporization, Coagulation by Heat, Avulsion by Suction	Small to Medium	Not Intended for Large Volium Debulking

• Does Vaser liposuction hurt?

  We carry out Vaser lipo procedures under local anaesthesia with or without sedation, without relatively serious side-effects of general anaesthesia, therefore, during the procedure you will be fully awake and will be able to leave our clinic straight after your Vaser Liposuction procedure, which is described by the great majority of our clients as comfortable, but occasionally slight stinging, tugging, pulling and even pain are reported. Therefore, depending on the site and extent of the areas to be treated, we need your help and cooperation and we will also advise you on the use of services of an anaesthetist who will add sedative medications to the local anaesthetic effect to counter act your anxiety and any pain and discomfort. We will do our best to make your Vaser liposuction tolerable without pain and unpleasant experience.

• Is Vaser Lipo a safe liposuction procedure?

  Vaser Liposuction and Smartlipo are considered to be safe procedures, as these procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia. You will be able to leave our clinic straight after your Vaser liposuction procedure. Worldwide, thousands of Vaser liposuction procedures have been performed without any reported cases of serious life threatening event, according to Sound Surgical USA. Smartlipo is also a safe procedure and it has been used in South and North America, Europe and Asia for some years and Vaser lipo has been reported as a success and it has been reported that as much as 40% of all liposuction procedures in the United States of America (USA) are carried out by Vaser liposuction. Oozing blood stained liquid from incision sites and discomfort, soreness, dull background pain are described by some people immediately after having Vaser liposuction procedure. Less commonly occurring problems such as bruising, slight swelling and other rare side-effects will be discussed in your initial consultation and before signing the Informed Consent Form before your procedure. It is known that Vaser liposuction causes less bleeding and bruising than traditional liposuction because Vaser lipo (liposelection) technology is particularly selective in targeting only fat cells, therefore preserving blood vessels and other non-fatty tissues such as nerves.

• Can you guarantee Vaser lipo (liposelective) results?

  As a doctor, under our Professional Code of Conduct in the UK, we are barred from undertaking or giving a guaranteed result for any treatment or procedure/operation. However, with your permission, we will take pictures from the areas to be treated before the Vaser liposuction and we will finally compare the before and after the procedure pictures. Provided that there are pictures to compare and you attend your six week, three and six month post-procedure appointments and your weight/BMI has not gone up, we will repeat the procedure and if you are not happy with the final results we will also help with almost free with only basic cost to you. We are confident that we will be able to help you, provided you fulfill the above-mentioned criteria, we might even consider refunds if there is no visible improvement after repeating your Vaser liposuction procedure.

• Can Vaser lipo (liposelection) be used for other conditions?

  Application of Vaser liposuction is wide and it has been used in treatment of excessive armpit sweating or axiliary hyperhidrosis with reports of clients who often experienced had improvement or almost complete resolution of excess sweating without adverse effects. Starch iodine can determine the site of excess sweating when using ultrasonic energy of Vaser liposuction, because the sweat glands can be interpreted. However, at Doctors Makeover, our cosmetic surgery clinic, we prefer Body Water-jet for treatment of excess sweating (hyperhidrosis), mainly armpits/underarms. 
  Vaser liposuction has an extremely versatile application. There are several different cannulae and probes which can safely deliver continuous ultrasonic energy to any part of the body. Therefore Vaser liposelection or Vaser liposuction procedures can be performed anywhere in the body. Some people use it to enhance retraction even in combination with facelift. We are increasingly using Vaser liposuction in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries such as a combination of abdominal liposuction and tummy tuck (lipoabdominoplasty).
  Vaser liposuction has also been used to contour the waistline area and those areas of the waist and tummy trunk which could not be addressed by abdominoplasty alone. Vaser liposuction has been used for breast reduction in male clients and for breast reduction and tightening of certain type of female breast instead of an open surgery and subsequent scar formation. Vaser liposuction can be used for shaping arms and legs.
  There are strong points of view that the future of body sculpting involves internal ultrasound and Vaser lipo (liposelection) is the most precise of this technology. There is no doubt that the versatility which Vaser liposuction has brought to liposuction leaves no boundaries. There is an increase in demand for the removal of localised fat, to contour the body and create a more pleasing shape but not as a means of weight loss. Vaser liposuction allows the surgeon to turn people into living breathing works of art and that is what cosmetic and aesthetic medicine is all about.

• What is the difference between Vaser Lipo, Body Water-jet and Laser lipolysis (Smartlipo)?

  There are differences between Vaser lipo, Body Water-jet and Smartlipo. Vaser Liposuction is advanced ultrasonic technology and Body Water-jet are tissue selective, meaning they target only fatty tissues and preserves other tissue structures such as nerves, blood vessels and other connective tissues. Smartlipo and other similar laser and radiofrequency fat reducing devices are using technologies which is non-selective and they mainly use heat energy to melt fat. Vaser liposuction can be used for treatment of any sized fatty deposits from small to very large area, as the rate of emulsifying fat is high and its power is higher.

• What is the difference between Vaser lipo (liposelection) and traditional liposuction?

  Vaser Liposuction is different from traditional liposuction in many ways. In traditional liposuction the tissues including fatty tissues are forcefully vacuumed out or torn away by avulsion. Therefore, liposuction is a non-specific and a more invasive procedure. However, Vaser liposuction melts only fatty tissues selectively and tends to give a smooth and even result compared with occasional uneven results with traditional liposuction. It has been shown that carrying out liposuction on one side and Vaser liposelection on the other side (above hips), Vaser lipo gives a smarter, more sculpted, satisfaction and less discomfort to the same client.
  Vaser lipo (liposelection) combines the advance ultrasound technology with the benefits of non-traumatic surgical techniques. Vaser liposuction allows the surgeon to precisely use measured local anaesthetic and Vaser liposuction has different probes which are designed to deliver measured and precise ultrasonic energy levels to a small and large area of fatty deposits. It is claimed that only Vaser liposuction has the ability and precision to emulsify fat with the diffused energy via small solid grooved probes and then aspirate emulsified fat with massage and cannulae that are designed with minimal tissue trauma in mind. Vaser liposuction probes are smooth with rounded blunt tips. They are relatively small in size (2 – 3.7mm in diameter micro-cannula) without cutting edges as was a feature in traditional liposuction and the previous generations of ultrasound devices.
  Vaser lipo (liposelection) energy emulsifies the fatty tissue for easy and relatively non traumatic aspiration by the same equipment without damaging the matrix and remaining architecture and scaffolding of the tissues. Therefore, in Vaser liposuction the skin retraction and tightening is more likely to be enhanced.

• Is Vaser lipo (liposelection) a specific and selective fat removal procedure?

  Yes, compared with the traditional liposuction procedure in which fatty tissue were forcefully suctioned out by tissue avulsion, in Vaser lipo (liposelection) procedure the technology allows tissue selection leaving relatively undisturbed the web of connective tissues critical to a smooth shapely results.
  There are other benefits of Vaser lipo as being liposelective in removing only fatty tissues: The different sizes of nerves and blood vessels are left undisturbed and both patients and doctors report relatively low or minimal pain and bruising.
  It has been claimed that only the Vaser liposuction facilitates even and shapely contouring of the body. Vaser liposuction has also been claimed to provide surgeons with much more predictability and results leading to a very low incidence of re-treatment because of optimal pulsed ultrasonic energy techniques.

• Which areas can be treated with Vaser lipo (liposelection)?

  Vaser liposuction can treat any area of the body which could be treated by the standard liposuction, Body Water-jet or laser lipo (Smartlipo) such as:
  Abdomen
  Love handles
  Arms
  Back
  Hips
  Inner thigh
  Outer thighs
  Buttocks
  Knees
  Calves
  Female breasts
  Male Breasts
  Face
  Chin and neck areas
  In addition, there are certain areas which are specially benefited by Vaser liposuction procedure:
  Delicate areas, Vaser lipo
  Small Volume
  Back rolls Vaser lipo
  Difficult and/or fibrous fatty tissues Vaser lipo
  Dorsal/buffalo humps Vaser lipo
  Touch-ups and re-treatments
  Male breast Vaser lipo 

• What kind of anaesthesia do you use to carry out Vaser liposuction?

  Vaser Liposuction can be carried out under local, regional or general anaesthesia. However, we use local anaesthetic mainly in the form of tumescent fluid to numb the area before being been able to carry out the Vaser liposuction procedure. You are fully awake during the Vaser liposuction procedure and you can leave our clinic as soon as you finish your procedure. However, we can also use the services of an anaesthetist who will help with sedative medications to counter act any anxiety and discomfort. Please read more. 

  
  Can you describe briefly how Vaser liposuction is carried out?
  After an initial free consultation, we supply you with written information and if you wish, we will arrange a date when the vaser liposuction procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia with or without sedation. After numbing the skin with local anaesthetic and making a small cut (incision) in the skin the Vaser Liposuctive probe will be introduced through the cut into the fatty area to be treated and apply Vaser liposelection ultrasonic energy to emulsify the fatty tissues, then the same piece of equipment, Vaser lipo, will aspirate the emulsified fat and results are noticeable as soon as the procedure is over with the prospect of further improvement in the following few months after the Vaser liposuction treatment.

• What are the precautions before the Vaser liposuction?

  It is advisable to stop smoking about 2 weeks before the procedure, because smoking reduces your circulation and probably slows down the healing process following the Vaser liposuction procedure.
  It is also advisable to avoid taking aspirin and other similar medications and over the counter remedies which might thiner the blood and facilitate some bleeding and bruising during and in the immediate period after the Vaser liposuction operation. There are other measures to be taken including having healthy diet and taking regular exercise before and after Vaser liposuction operation. It is beneficial to avoid excess alcoholic to have a more healthy physical and psychological preparation for the Vaser liposuction operation.
  You need to be in good health at the time of the Vaser operation. Therefore, during the period after your initial consultations when you are coming in our cosmetic surgery clinic, Doctors Makeover, for your Vaser Liposuction procedure if you suffer from any illness including colds, cold sores, temperature or any other illness, please inform us immediately. It is advisable to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing on the day of Vaser liposuction surgery. We supply you with appropriate garments and we will give you more information on the day of your Vaser liposuction procedure.
  It is also advisable to avoid bringing with you expensive jewelleries and other expensive items. Immediately after Vaser liposuction you will notice some blood stained liquid coming out of the small cuts in your skin and this process might continue for several hours. Therefore, it is advisable that you should arrange to have somebody drive you home, particularly if you receive sedative medication. As Vaser Liposuction is carried under local anaesthetic you can eat and drink normally but we advise you to take a light breakfast on the day of surgery if the procedure is going to be carried out on your abdominal areas. However, if you are going to receive sedation by the anaesthetist during your Vaser lipo procedure, then you must not eat anything for six hours and drink anything for at least two hours before the booked time of your Vaser liposuction procedure.

• What are the precautions and possible adverse-effects of Vaser liposuction?

  After your Vaser lipo, before leaving the clinic you will be fitted with an elastic-type garment to provide comfort and support while helping your skin conform to your new body contour. You are advised to wear the garment continueously, 24 hours a day, for at least 2 weeks after Vaser liposuction or depending on the area which has been treated as you have been advised by the doctor, apart from removing the garment once a day for washing/laundering.
  If you feel uncomfortable you can change bandage at any time and use sponge bathing from the second day following the Vaser lipo operation. Taking baths and showers should be avoided during the first 72 hours following the Vaser lipo procedure. You could then wash the area with soap and running water before being able to dry the area and wear your garment. It is advisable to avoid applying ice or heat to the treated area, particularly you must not apply heat or cold during the first 12 hours following your Vaser liposuction operation. 
  It is advisable to keep your dressings as clean and dry as possible. This might mean to change the dressing several times in the hours following the Vaser liposuction operation, as you should expect some oozing and drainage of blood-tinged local anaesthetic solution from the incision sites due to fluid injected during the Vaser Liposuctive procedure. Although the fluid may appear red, it is mostly anaesthetic solution and saline and only 1% blood. In general, the most drainage there is the less bruising and swelling there will be after Vaser liposuction. Many patients have found it helpful to use a shower curtain or other protective covering on their mattress for the first day after their Vaser Liposuctive procedure (we might supply you pads). As your incisions stop draining, please clean with tap water and cover it only if your garment is rubbing on the incisions. Following the Vaser liposuction procedure some people report that some itching, pulling, pinching, hardness, tightness and/or a slight numbness of sensations are also normal. They should subside within 24 hours up to a week but sometimes can last for months following the surgery. This is a part of the healing process after Vaser liposuction and your patience is appreciated. However, any sudden deterioration in your condition Vaser liposuction, particularly if you experienced excessive pain, redness, fullness and swelling in the treated area, particularly if you feel unwell and have temperature/fever you need to contact us immediately because it might be infection or other very rare complications.
  It is advisable to rest for the first 12 hours following the Vaser lipo procedure. Some people experience light headedness when rising or removing or changing their compression garment. Maintaining a balanced diet without added salt to prevent fluid retention is beneficial. Gentle message and use of biocelase which is a combination of laser, ultrasound and vacuum, which helps lymphatic drainage is also beneficial. I encourage the clients to be active after the procedure but avoid contact sports for about four weeks after the Vaser liposuction procedure. A course of antibiotics for at least five days after the liposuction procedure will be given. Please resume your normal activities level as you feel better and you can tolerate during the week following the Vaser liposuction procedure. Avoid strenuous activities such as lifting or aerobic exercise for at least 2 weeks. It is wise to protect incisions and bruised areas from direct sun exposure until the area is completely healed or use sun-block creams. You can carry out gentle massage of the treated area with the pulps of your finger and palms of your hand after the Vaser operation. It is also known that more active massaging from 2 weeks following the procedure will speed up the healing process. This therapeutic massage can be carried out as often as every other day and as hard as one can tolerate. It is also thought that this aggressive massaging should not be carried out on the chin area following the Vaser procedure.
  If you experience any post-operative nausea, it might be caused by sedation or your post-operative medications, and we advise that you take them with food whenever possible. If you stomach feels normal, start with soups, finally resuming a regular diet. Please drink plenty of clear fluids.

• How much fatty tissue can be removed by Vaser liposuction from my body?

  Large deposits of fatty tissues can be removed by Vaser liposuction compared with Smartlipo and similar fat reducing laser and radiofrequency devices. However, these procedures are not for weight reduction. It is reported from the USA that beyond five liters of fat removal is not safe during one procedure. The amount of fat which can be removed from the body under local anesthetic medications with or without sedation depends on several factors including the site and extent of fat deposits.

• What should I expect from the Vaser liposuction procedure?

  The goal of Vaser lipo fat removal is not weight loss, but improved contour. In fact, since the body retains fluids in response to surgery, you may even notice a temporary weight gain (resolving over the first week). In addition, please remember that for the majority of patients the goal is significant improvement, not perfection. Lower abdominal patients may experience significant swelling in the pubic area after Vaser lipo. Bruising is minimal with Vaser Liposuction. Nevertheless, the more extensive the surgery, the more bruising one can normally expect. Post-operative discomfort usually takes the form of deep muscle soreness and normally improves over the following 2 - 7 days. Slight temperature evaluation and flushing of the face, neck and upper chest could last 48 hours. You may initially experience a mild depression that should begin lifting after the first week, once you see the bruising and swelling fade. If areas on the thighs were treated, you may have swelling in your calves and ankles for up to 3 weeks. Post Vaser liposuction medications prescribed should be taken as directed by your doctor. If you are unable to take any of the medications (particularly your antibiotic) for any reasons, please contact us so we can arrange for other medications. Post-operative appointment is given . For your maximum healing and optimal long-term results, it is very important that you follow the schedule of appointments we establish after Vaser liposuction surgery.
  Vaser Liposuction is carried out under local anaesthetic medications and occasionally we combine it with a sedative medications. Therefore, you are able to walk and return to some activities immediately after the procedure. However, pain, discomfort and experience of having Vaser Liposuction is a unique experience for each individual and the reaction to this experience is not easy to predict.
  It is advisable if you experience excessive pain, redness, fullness and swelling in the treated area, particularly if you feel unwell and have temperature/fever you need to contact us immediately.

• Is Vaser liposuction good for patients and doctors?

  It is also claimed that carrying out traditional liposuction on one side and Vaser liposuction on the other side of the body on the same areas (lovehandles, hips), Vaser lipo gives a smarter, more sculpted, satisfaction and less discomfort to the client.
  The same report from the USA also reveals, more clients are satisfied with Vaser compared with other methods of fat reduction. It is thought that Vaser liposuction is also a good thing for the doctor because it will generate business by opening up the option and bringing in those clients who were afraid to get more invasive traditional liposuction. Apart from the fact that Vaser liposuction is thought to be easier and less tiring for the doctor, it seems Vaser liposuction will deliver the results clients are hoping for because Vaser liposuction and Body Water-jet and Smartlipo with suction and other laser lipolysis is changing the patients’ perception of liposuction. As minimally invasive liposuction technologies and other techniques will continue to improve, Vaser Liposuction instead of other methods of liposuction procedure becomes known because it is safer, easier and cheaper, and more patients are requesting Vaser liposuction and other minimally invasive liposuction.
  Male breast reduction, backs and previous liposuction operations sites which might have more fibrous tissue could be treated with Vaser liposelection technology. Treating these areas with Vaser liposuction is less painful with more satisfactory results. However, Vaser liposuction is more ideal for these sites as the Vaser liposuction emulsifies fatty tissue and fibrous tissues which could more easily and rapidly be aspirated out with gentle Vaser liposuction cannulae. Smoother results could be achieved by using Vaser liposuction because with standard liposuction there is a risk of creating irregularities with little tunnels with the cannulae. There was a fear of skin thermal injury with older generations of ultrasound devices but Vaser lipo has a proven safety record on being used superficially to emulsify and remove the fatty layer underneath the skin. There is also a noticeable skin retraction and subsequent skin tightening is proportional to the ability to remove the fatty layers underneath the skin. These factors all should satisfy customers and doctors alike when Vaser lipo has been used.
