Regardless of your attention to diet and exercise, you may continue to have problem areas seemingly out of your control. Perhaps they are inherited. Or post-pregnancy.

Truly an art form, VASER Lipo® is designed to sculpt and contour these areas. Unlike liposuction, where fat cells are largely suctioned away, VASER Lipo® brakes down fat cells with an intermediate step, emulsifying them with ultrasound energy. This technique is considered to be less invasive; with blood vessels and lymphatic channels better preserved, a more rapid recovery, and little to no bruising. In addition, our patients have the option of having this procedure done in our office under a local anesthetic. For more information on how VASER Lipo® works, please go to www.vaser.com.

For women, challenging areas tend to be the breasts, bra line, hiprolls, outer and inner thighs, abdomen, jaw-line or arms. Many of our satisfied patients refer to their experience with VASER Lipo® as "The Mommy Makeover," since it carefully contours and shapes these areas of excess fatty deposition.

It is important to remember that VASER Lipo® is not an alternative to proper diet and exercise; however, when diet and exercise are maintained, the new contours created with VASER Lipo® sculpting are long-lasting.
