Several micro-incisions about 3mm in length are made and an anesthetic is ‘infused’ into each target area. Once the anesthetic has taken effect, your surgeon will insert the thin ultrasonic treatment head into the fat layer. The micro-vibrations from the treatment head will emulsify the fat, taking about 15 – 20 minutes per target area. The emulsified fat is then aspirated or suctioned out. The VASER Lipo head does minimal damage to connective tissues and blood vessels, resulting in only minor bruising and post-procedure discomfort. Contrast this with traditional Liposuction, which effectively scrapes the fat using a 3-6mm metal cannula leaving a visible scar, subcutaneous hollows, internal bleeding and loose skin.
