What is VASER Lipo and how does it compare to traditional Liposuction?
VASER Lipo is the latest technology for fat removal. It is far less invasive than traditional liposuction and is performed under local anaesthetic. A small probe transmits ultrasound energy to break up the fatty tissues. The liquefied fat is then removed through a gentle suction process.
What distinguishes the VASER is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues - such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues - which are left intact.
VASER allows for greater volumes of fat to be removed - up to 2.5 liters - and shorter procedure time than SmartLipo. However, as our doctors are highly experienced in both tecniques, they will be able to advice which is the most appropriate treatment to you.
What are the advantages over traditional Liposuction?
- No need of general anaesthetic
- Limited downtime
- Less scarring, less bruising
- Reduced risk of irregularities
- The procedure stimulates collagen production and tightening of the skin, while Liposuction may occasionally results in sagging skin
What is VASER Hi Def?
Assisted High Definition LipoSculpture, or VASER Hi DefTM is an advanced body sculpting technique. The procedure creates a more sculpted, athletic appearance than traditional VASER by precisely removing both superficial and deep fat from around muscle groups to enhance the visibility of the underlying musculature.
VASER Hi Def can be performed on multiple body areas but on women tends to concentrate on the buttocks, upper thighs, small of back, love handles and the abdomen.
We are one of only two UK clinics to be certified in Vaser Hi-Def. We also have two of the three UK trained doctors in Vaser High-Def.
Am I suitable?
The procedure can help remove stubborn localised pockets of fat. However, it should not be considered weight-loss procedures. If you are in good health, follow a sensible diet and are not overweight but you wish to lose stubborn pockets of fat, Laserlipo and Vaser are ideal.
Does the treatment hurt?
It is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you will feel no pain.
How long does the treatment take?
The length of the treatment depends on how many and how big areas you’re having treated, but generally it takes between one and two hours. VASER Lipo is usually faster than Laser Lipo.
How soon will I see results?
This varies with the extensiveness of the procedure. Often results are visible immediately but will improve further over the following months.
Once you have fat removed, it is gone and, assuming a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and exercise, it will not return.
Are there any side effects?
Overall both laserlipo and Vaser have a very good safety track record. Laser lipo has been used in Europe and Asia for years and thousands of treatments have been performed without any serious problems reported. Vaser has been a huge success in the US for 2-3 years.
Downtime is minimal and you can resume normal activities almost immediately, although it is best to avoid vigorous physical activity or sports for one to two weeks. Any swelling and bruising is considerably less than what would be expected with traditional liposuction.
After treatment, patients wear a special compression garment for 7 to 14 days to help minimise bruising and swelling (or 1 to 2 days if you’re having a facial treatment).
How much does the treatment cost?
Treatments start at £2000 for small areas such as the chin, but prices vary depending on the areas to be treated and can only be properly determined after your assessment.
Please be aware that only a few physicians have the level of experience required and advanced experience can significantly improve results. Our doctors have performed the highest number of Vaser procedures in the UK.
