Vaser Ultrasonic Liposuction® with aspiration

Viridian Medical are delighted to be able to add Vaser Ultrasonic Liposuction to it's cutting edge range of non-surgical cosmetic procedures. It represents a new even less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction treatments. Technology assisted liposuction and lipo-sculpture is the optimum method of treating localised deposits of fat which are difficult to reduce through exercise or diet. The original forms of liposuction (using a manual sucker and “elbow grease”) required a general anaesthetic, hospital stay, with considerable bruising and down time. Results could be inconsistent, uneven with loose skin resulting.

However, with technology assistance to replace “elbow grease” and break down fat cells more accurately with less trauma to the surrounding tissue, some of the problems such as lumpiness, unevenness, bruising can be minimized. Further more skin laxity can be prevented as the skin retracts much more; this unique feature of VASER ultrasonic liposuction® is due to the preservation of the fibrous strands and structures around the fat cells which encourages the skin to retract. In the past some patients who may have only be suitable for surgery could not have been treated can now have this option if expectations are realistic

Laser assisted techniques using Smartlipo® have been round for about 8 years and are good at a specific target area. Certain areas respond well such as knees, inner thighs, the chin and some lower abdomen in the female.

However medium sized areas and volumes larger than two “fist fulls” can be challenging; the male abdomen, flanks, love handles, bingo wings can result in inconsistent results with laser and this is where Vaser's ultrasonic technology has found its potential. Thus patients previously not suitable for Smartlipo may be very suitable for this state of the art treatment. A fully FDA approved system that is extensively used in the USA and endorsed by respected plastic surgeons in the USA is now available here in the UK.
