High Definition LipoSelection®
LipoSelection® by VASER® is a specialised procedure that removes fatty tissue from selected areas and allows introduction of fat into areas requiring bulking, such as pecs or deltoid regions.
How does it work?
The VASER® probe is approximately 3mm in diameter and is introduced into the fat via a small incision in the skin. The technique relies on ultrasonic energy to break up the fat cells. The ultrasound literally melts the fat, which can be collected and then used to build up and sculpt other areas.
The Vaser® technology is efficient and precise and has been reported to produce low to minimal pain, low to minimal bruising and swelling, and few complications. The surrounding structures such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue remain largely undisturbed.
What can be achieved?
High Definition LipoSelection® is a relatively new way of looking at an old problem. Every year thousands of New Zealand men and women train at the gym and go on a diet to try gain a more toned and muscular physique, but many struggle to lose the layer of fat which hides this.
The results depend on the body you already have. High Definition LipoSelection® is suited to patients who have minimal to medium fat deposits, and who have some muscle tone under their fat layers. In trained hands the results are remarkable.
Treatment info
The typical procedure is a day stay and performed under intravenous sedation. The procedure will take approximately 90 minutes.
After treatment
An elastic compression garment is worn for 24 hours per day during the first week and 12 hours per day in the second and third week. The longer the garment is worn, the better the compression and contouring that is achieved. There will be swelling and sometimes bruising.
By the end of the second week most of the bruising will have disappeared, sutures will have dissolved and some normal activities including non-strenuous lower body work-outs
can be resumed.
After one month all exercise can be resumed. The healing process will be well under way. There may be some tingling as numbness around the chin area subsides, although numbness may persist for several months.

Skin Institute was the first to offer High Definition LipoSelection®
in Australasia
The Skin institute was the first in Australasia to use and acquire the technology. We have specialists trained in High Definition LipoSelection®, from the Advanced Body Sulpting Institute, run by the procedure’s inventors. This is an extensive training course that requires both a long experience with the VASER® machine and then further training and hands-on teaching.
This is not a procedure for the occasional operator or non-specialist. The Skin Institute is the only centre in Auckland to offer this technology by VASER®, which is the Gold Standard for safety
and efficacy.
