Rather than lasers, Vaser “high definition” liposuction utilizes ultrasonic energy to liquefy fat cells. Ultrasound energy disrupts the outer membranes of fat cells and liquefies the fat. And because Vaser Lipo only targets fat cells, it minimizes trauma to the surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Click here to learn more about Vaser HD Lipo. Because SmartLipo utilizes laser technology to melt the fat prior to removal, it is superior to traditional lipo. Traditional liposuction is limited to removing only the deeper layers of fat and, thus, can be inadequate at removing all of the necessary fat deposits.Post-treatment your body will begin to naturally process and eliminate the dead fat cells which reduce the amount of fat cells in your body. These two treatments are often the most commonly researched when it comes to picking a procedure for removing areas of fat. But how do they compare? Why we don’t offer CoolSculpting?
VASERlipo and Smartlipo are tools to improve the outcome of liposuction. VASER uses ultrasound energy; Smartlipo uses a laser. VASER’s ultrasound energy breaks apart fat before removal for less trauma to the surrounding tissues. Smartlipo’s laser energy does the same, with the added bonus of some skin tightening, a nice benefit when it’s used on the abdomen, arms, legs and neck. Both methods are effective, but they are used for slightly different reasons. The choice essentially comes down to the surgeon’s expertise and preferred technique. I recommend consulting with a few different liposuction surgeons for an opinion and explanation of their preferences before you move forward with your procedure.
The fat is removed with minimal bleeding and the fat cells can be used for transplantation to other areas since they are not damaged in the process of removal. Neither Vaser or Laser liposuction fat is suitable for transfer to other areas of the body, because the cells have been ruptured before removal.
VASER Lipo and Smart Lipo are two treatments you may wish to consider if you are looking to achieve a more contoured silhouette and to lose body fat. Both techniques focus on targeting and breaking down those hard to shift fat deposits and removing them safely from those stubborn areas. Using these techniques, we can effectively target double chins, thighs, love handles, arms and the stomach. A lipo treatment might sound like a daunting prospect, but the new liposuction treatments are different to older and more traditional methods, and the results are amazing.

Unfortunately, SmartLipo has been commercialized to be performed without general anesthesia. And although avoiding general anesthesia might seem like a good thing, the procedure is plagued by the inability to remove fat comprehensively. This is because, as a surgeon attempts to remove unwanted fat, they will be constrained by their patients inability to tolerate pain. There’s increased tenderness associated with removing the critical fat deposits that are attached to muscles.
VASER or UAL) OR cook the fat with a laser (LAL - SmartLipo, ProLipo etc). Once this stage is completed, the fat fluid is vacuum removed with traditional liposuction. VASER Liposuction selectively breaks up fat cells without impacting blood vessels, nerves or other tissues which is why it is called Liposelction.
This approach promotes smooth results and rapid healing. VASER Lipo is excellent at targeting fat deposits without damaging nearby cells and tissues. Smart Lipo on the other hand uses laser energy to burn away fat tissue and in doing so can also cause damage to the cells, blood vessels and tissues surrounding the fat deposits. Whilst, this is not a serious problem it is in the interests of the patient to cause minimal damage to otherwise healthy and necessary tissues.
