Vaser: Modern Lipo

Almost any woman asked, and probably most men, would confess to wishing they were generally thinner, or would admit that there was a specific area of their body that they wish did not carry so much stubborn weight. It seems that some fatty deposits are impossible to shift, even through good diet and exercise regimes, which can be incredibly disheartening and damaging to confidence. However, liposuction can be expensive and in the hands of an inexperienced practitioner, the scars can be ugly and the healing process long and painful. Vaser may be the perfect alternative.

It is the latest development in lipo treatments, employing ultrasound technology. The repeatable procedure is considerably cheaper than liposuction and takes less time, between one and three hours to complete. It can be performed under local anaesthetic and blood loss is minimal, meaning that no overnight stay is necessary. Standard lipo procedures can put someone out of commission for three to four weeks, whereas with vaser, one to three days is the expected downtime. Bruising and swelling are also dramatically reduced with this procedure in comparison to standard lipo, and as for scarring: minimal, if at all. All of these things make it a much more appealing alternative.

Problems that can be eradicated with this treatment include love handles, bingo wings and double chins, and tricky areas that can be affected by age and childbearing such as the upper and lower abdomen and the thighs can also be targeted.

After this treatment, available from botonics’ Harley Street clinic in London, customers quickly begin to feel not only that bit thinner but more confident. The style of the process means that the skin tightens again in a natural way, so that customers feel fabulous in less than a month, showing off their bodies in ways that they would not have dared to before.
