How is Vaser Liposuction Applied?
Vaser Lipo uses ultrasonic sound waves to break down fat in the body. The Vaser device is positioned, and the ultrasonic probe is inserted under the skin. The skin is heated and the sound energy liquefies the fat. The fat is then evenly melted. Afterward, special cannulas with suction capabilities are used to remove the melted fat from the body. This procedure tightens the skin and tissues, stimulates collagen production, and increases skin elasticity. The skin will regain its shape in a short time after treatment.
