Ultrasound technology has been used for years to get that first glimpse of a baby, to ensure correct diagnosis and even to clean teeth. Now the gentle power of ultrasound has evolved to fat removal.

VASER® LipoSelection is a minimally invasive procedure that precisely and efficiently removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER® LipoSelection uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body.
What distinguishes the LipoSelection procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues - such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Innovative VASER® technology breaks up fat while conserving  these other important tissues. Only the LipoSelection procedure uses the proprietary VASER® System to first liquefy fat and then remove it from the body to promote smooth results and rapid healing with only low to minimal pain.

If you are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise, VASER® LipoSelection can provide a solution. If you are healthy and seeking a fast, low-pain solution for losing stubborn fat deposits, the LipoSelection procedure could be your answer. Patients who say they would have never considered lipsuction are now finding the LipoSelection procedure is a minimally invasive option for the achievement of their body reshaping goals. Although there are limits to the amount of fat than can be removed, your doctor can assist you with your decision about potential areas for contouring anticipated results, and the recovery process.
