How VASER® works
The VASER® technology used for the LipoSelection® procedure is efficient and precise because the sound waves it emits break up fatty tissue while leaving surrounding tissues largely undisturbed. Treatment with the VASER® system has been reported to produce low to minimal pain, low to minimal bruising and swelling, and few complications.

The VASER® system utilizes proprietary ultrasound technology to break up fatty tissue before removal. Sound energy, similar to that used to remove a cataract from the eye, fragments fatty tissue. Fat cells, which are large and soft, break apart (think of how easily a full water balloon will burst) while leaving nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue largely undisturbed. Video: Once emulsified, fat is removed with minimal disturbance to important structural tissue, yielding smooth results Video: |
