Dr S. R. Bassi, lead cosmetic physician at cosmetic and laser clinic, Selston Cosmetic Clinic, heralds the arrival of Vaser Lipo, the revolutionary new liposuction treatment

The pioneering new Vaser Lipo treatment has arrived from the USA. Over the next few months I believe that we will witness great excitement as this procedure is covered in the glossy beauty magazines and articles are published in the Sunday newspapers and their supplements.

Internet chat forums will be ignited by people wishing to receive the treatment and those who have already received the treatment. The comments from the latter will be, I am sure, extremely positive, specially from the unfortunate ones who had poor results with SmartLipo.

This new technology of walk-in walk-out liposuction will soon be offered by all leading cosmetic surgery clinics over the next few months. In the Midlands Selston Cosmetic Clinic is one of the first to embrace Vaser Lipo, largely due to its ability to remove larger volumes of fat compared to the SmartLipo and the next generation of SmartLipo procedures mainly SmartLipo plus, advanced SmartLipo,advanced Laser Lipo and XP
Lipo Laser. Selston’s experience with Vaser Lipo has given them an edge over their competitors.

The Vaser Lipo procedures use ultrasound (similar to that used for cataract removal from the eye). This state of the art technology emulsifies and breaks down the fat while leaving the blood vessels, nerves and surrounding tissues intact. It is performed under tumescent local anaesthesia which means you are awake throughout the procedure.

A mixture of Saline/Lignocaine and adrenaline is filled into the area to be treated; this solution gives excellent pain relief,minimal blood loss and bruising by shrinking the blood vessels. It also allows the procedure to become a walk-in walk-out liposuction treatment. Finally the liquefied fat is aspirated gently at he end of the procedure.

It is generally accepted in the medical fraternity that no more than two litres of fat should be removed by a tumescent liposuction day case procedure. This amount of fat removal is well within Vaser Lipo’s capability.

Vaser Lipo can treat all the areas popular with women such as the abdomen, inner thighs, outer thighs, buttocks and underarms. In men the most popular areas to target are the abdomen, love handles and embarrassing male breasts (gynaecomastia). This unique procedure allows us to work with such precision, so that even delicate areas, such as the chin, face and knees can be shaped.

Vaser Lipo can also be used for spot fat reduction, which is the removal of localized pockets of fat. However what we are finding most exciting is that it can be used for high definition body lipo-sculpturing; enabling us to highlight the abdominal muscles in men and enhancing the curves and certain abdominal muscles in women.

With Vaser Lipo the leading cosmetic clinics and experienced cosmetic physicians now have the confidence to give guaranteed results which represents a fantastic quantum leap for the consumer.

I believe that Vaser Lipo is set to become the leader in walk-in walk-out liposuction in the UK over the next twelve months; it has already annihilated its competition in Singapore.
