| BEVERLY HILLS, CA-- The VASER, a revolutionary ultrasound liposuction procedure cuts surgery time, decreases tissue trauma, gives better results, creates less blood loss, less post-operative bruising, faster recovery time and is safer for patients. The SoundVASER System, commonly referred to as the VASER, is being hailed by the plastic surgery community as the ultimate in safety for modern day liposuction. The VAL procedure has 3 steps: -
Infusion, which is faster and safer than current technology. -
VASER for selective pre-emulsification of fatty tissues. -
Aspiration of the emulsion with the VentX aspiration cannulae, a special vented tube which has been scientifically designed to minimize suction trauma and speed up the aspiration process. This is added safety for the patient resulting in shorter surgery time, less anesthesia, decreased overall tissue trauma, less post-operative bruising and swelling and smoother contours. The surgeon's advantage using the VASER over current methods are that it requires less physical effort. The VASER makes it significantly easier to pass the probe through the tissues, saving wear and tear on the surgeon's arm. When the fatty tissues have been emulsified it is also much easier to pass the suction cannula through the tissues during the aspiration phase. Thus, it shortens the procedure time by pre-emulsifying the fatty tissues, so then the surgery time required to aspirate the tissues is reduced. This gives a much more precise sculpting capability since the surgeon can spend more time contouring and less time separating the fat from the tissue. Dr. Richard Ellenbogen has been trained on the VASER and has performed more VASER treatments than anyone in the United States. The SoundVASER System is the next generation beyond the existing UAL (ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty) technology. The VASER uses smaller incisions, pulsed or continuous energy delivery, and highly efficient emulsifying probes that couple vibrations from all the sides of the probes rather than from only the front tip. This last feature greatly enhances the efficiency and safety of the technology. |
