What is Vaser Liposelection?
Vaser Liposelection (Vaser Lipo) is a body sculpting procedure that uses ultrasound waves to break up fat cells and remove unwanted fat from the body.
Vaser liposelection targets areas of fat in the body, leaving other tissues intact, and makes the muscles appear more defined.
How is the Vaser Liposelection procedure carried out?
- The area to be treated is injected with a saline solution and thin probes are inserted through tiny incisions.
- The probes transmit ultrasound energy to break up and liquefy fat cells.
