VASER Liposelection® uses ultrasound technology to effectively target and treat exercise-resistant fat deposits in the body. The fat deposits are then removed through a suction tube. Unlike traditional liposuction, Liposelection leaves surrounding nerves, tissues, and blood vessels undisturbed during the procedure. Thus, Liposelection is a gentler alternative that requires less recovery time. Liposelection is an ideal procedure for people who are near their ideal body weight, but find that certain problem areas are unresponsive to diet and exercise.
How does Liposelection work?
During Liposelection, high frequency ultrasound waves are emitted through a specialty tool. The waves both target fat cells and break them down, making them easier to remove. The fat is then removed through a combination of suction and massage. Liposelection aims for smooth and consistent results.
