Does VASER Lipo Tighten Loose Skin?

Common questions patients have are whether this would also be able to correct loose skin, and the answer is yes, but with restrictions. Here, we take a look at the science behind VASER Lipo, how it affects skin tightness, the kind of results that can be expected, and important things to consider before opting for this contouring treatment.

What is VASER Lipo?

VASER Lipo (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) is a mode of liposuction that uses sound waves to liquefy targeted fat cells for their removal gently. Unlike traditional liposuction, which extracts the fat by some outer/manual force, VASER Lipo uses ultrasound energy to melt fat cells, making it a soft extraction and a more specific process. It does this by affecting fat tissues, excluding nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, minimising the amount of bruise, swelling, and pain you will receive after surgery.

Because it is able to achieve such a high-definition sculpt, VASER Lipo is ideal for body contouring; it is able to accentuate muscle definition and provide greater definition and tone. It can be used wherever on the body, including the belly, thighs, arms, and neck. Furthermore, the process increases collagen production in the body, which may help tighten the skin. Combining these effects makes VASER Lipo great for those wanting fat removal and skin tightening.

Does VASER Lipo tighten skin?

The process uses ultrasound to both emulsify fat and cause the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. This bodily response is beneficial for skin tightening post-procedure, as the skin becomes tighter and firmer with fat removal, adapting to the new body shape and contours.

But results can differ depending on age, skin elasticity and how much fat is removed. Patients with a significant amount of excess skin will not get the tightness they want with VASER Lipo alone and may require skin tightening treatments in addition. For best results, a detailed consultation with a qualified professional is necessary.

How long does it take to see the results?

Because VASER Lipo removes fat from specific areas of the body, patients immediately see initial results. But the biggest improvements are not really apparent for weeks once the swelling settles down and the skin starts to firm up. Final results are generally achieved between three to six months post-procedure when collagen production begins to tighten the skin the most.

Please note that your recovery time will depend on the amount of work done and how well you heal. Post-operative care instructions assist patients in recovering quickly and ensuring optimum results.

How much fat loss should I expect?

How much fat can be lost after the VASER Lipo treatment is entirely variable and depends not only on the treatment area and amount of fat to be sucked but also and above all, on the structure of the body itself. Patients generally lose between 2 to 5 litres of fat during the procedure, although the amount varies.

VASER Lipo helps sculpt and remove unwanted fat pockets but is not a weight loss solution. Keeping a healthy lifestyle after the procedure is essential to continue to last with the results.

Will the results of VASER Lipo last forever?

Although VASER Lipo offers dramatic and long-lasting benefits, it is not a permanent solution. The process eliminates fat cells from specific body areas, providing a body with a more streamlined appearance. However, after the procedure, if a patient puts on weight, any existing fat cells can swell, possibly altering the aesthetic outcome.

Eating healthy and exercising regularly is necessary if you want to keep that figure. Other factors, including age, skin elasticity, and lifestyle, can affect how results may change over time. Some people may need touch-up procedures occasionally to maintain the best contours.
