WHAT
• LipoSelection® only by VASER® is an innovative body sculpting option that uses patented VASER® technology to break up and permanently remove unwanted fat, while minimally disturbing other important tissues critical to an optimal recovery and smooth results.
• VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance.
• Until now, traditional surgical fat removal procedures have been more about mechanical avulsion and suction of fatty tissue (including surrounding nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue).
HOW
1. The physician makes a tiny incision in the targeted area, and infuses a saline solution mixed with lidocaine and epinephrine to help shrink blood vessels and numb the area to be treated.
2. The physician then inserts a small patented probe that emits ultrasonic waves to selectively break up fat deposits, leaving important tissues relatively intact.
3. Once the fatty tissue is emulsified, it can be removed through the small incision with massage and/or controlled suction designed to be gentle. Any residual fatty tissue not removed from the body is either absorbed or smoothly reshaped to the patient’s contour.
WHY
• Blood vessels are minimally disrupted = LipoSelection patients report low to minimal bruising.
• Nerves are minimally disrupted = LipoSelection patients report low to minimal pain.
• Connective tissues are minimally disrupted = LipoSelection patients & physicians report smooth,
predictable results and tight contours.
WHERE
• Physicians report success in treating all of the following areas: abdomen, thighs, knees, buttocks, hips, back, arms, breasts, love handles, chin and neck areas.
• The VASER System’s versatility and precision allows for efficient treatment of various tissue types – from very delicate to very fibrous.
• The LipoSelection procedure is performed in a clean environment such as a doctor’s office, an outpatient surgery center or a hospital.
WHO
• Physicians across the country are currently performing LipoSelection only by VASER.
• The VASER is manufactured by Sound Surgical Technologies LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company
founded in July 1998. The VASER System received FDA clearance for use in lipoplasty in June 2002,
and currently holds 11 US Patents.
