With the summer months ahead of us, now is a great time to get yourself “bikini ready” with body contouring services. More and more patients at our office are specifically requesting the VASER Liposelection procedure. Despite its name, VASER does not utilize laser energy, but rather, uses powerful ultrasound energy to melt fat. As opposed to laser body contouring services that are best for patients with smaller, more isolated areas of fatty tissue, the VASER procedure is perfect for patients with more pronounced areas of fat. I also find it better for my male patients who tend to have more fibrous fat.  Results with the VASER procedure can be seen immediately with very little downtime due to the fact that the devise coagulates blood vessels in the treated areas thus resulting in less bruising and swelling than seen with traditional liposuction. VASER is preformed while patients are awake, without the need for general anesthesia.  Ideal candidates for this procedure are patients in good health who exercise regularly but still have stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. For more information, you can visit their website at www.vaser.com!
