For many years, Liposuction has been the preferred choice when it comes to fat removal. However, a new advanced body contouring procedure known as VASER, which is short for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, but commonly known as LipoSelection (which is less of a mouthful), is now helping people to lose weight and gently reshape their body without pain or down time.
Compared to Liposuction, which is now regarded as a more crude treatment, often causing swelling and bruising, LipoSelection uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology that enables it to differentiate fat from other important tissues including nerves and blood cells. The treatment targets only the fat the patient requires removing, which is why there is less swelling and bruising.
How does it work?
The treatment works by using a special saline solution, which helps numb the area, while also shrinking the blood vessels to reduce bruising. The saline solution goes into the area, that needs treating, which then makes it easier to dissolve the fatty tissue. A very small probe sends sound energy to help remove the fatty cells, while at the same time causing no harm to other important areas. The fat is then removed using a very gentle suction.
Many patients are now able to treat those traditionally hard to reach areas such as the face, chin, neck, breasts, hips, thighs, plus those uncomfortable love handles!
Is LipoSelection right for you?
There are limits as to how much fat can be safely removed from the body depending upon the individual. A good way to judge for your self is by standing and bending from the waist. The amount of loose fat you can grab above or below the waist, will tell you how much needs removing. We always recommend patients call in for a consultation first. This way we can asses your own individual requirements. It's also worth remembering that LipoSelection is not a weight loss solution, instead more of a body contouring procedure, that helps create a slimmer looking you.
The treatment is performed in our own clinic under local anesthesia. After treatment many patients can see immediate results, although the full benefit of the treatment can usually be seen within 3 - 6 months.
What happens after treatment?
Once you've had your treatment any new fat should be distributed proportionately rather than returning to the same areas. However, we always promote a healthy lifestyle after treatment, which includes proper exercise and diet.
So if you suffer from resistant fat in body areas that do not respond to diet and exercise, LipoSelection could provide the solution. If you are healthy and seeking a quick, low-pain treatment to help loose stubborn fat deposits, the LipoSelection procedure is the answer. Call the Aesthetic Beauty Centre today to arrange an appointment to discuss with a doctor potential areas for sculpting, anticipated results, and the recovery process.
