Is Vaser Shape (Not Vaser Lipo) Too Good to Be True?

There is a lot of inconsistency in what the procedure can supposedly accomplish. Most places claim that it destroys the actual fat cell whereas others say it only drains out the lipid from a fat cell. I personally think it does the latter as I have serious doubts that ultrasound/massage/suction can kill cells.But I am not a doctor so any feedback would be great.I'd like to get my upper abs done & can't subject myself to another coolsculpting (which btw I am convinced works)

VaserShape vs CoolSculpting

My impression of CoolSculpting is that it has some intermittent results. And, because of that, its outcomes are not always as predictable for patients. The media buzz on this has been far more hyped than the outcomes than those found by people who have rigorously studied this scientifically. In my experience, VaserShape consistently tightens the skin and shrinks the areas treated if the patient is well hydrated by drinking 8 glasses of water the day BEFORE the... more

Vaser shape

As seen recently on Dr. Oz the Vaser Shape ultrasound treatments can work wonders to reduce the fat under the skin as well as improve cellulite. There is no pain or down time and this product was recently voted number one by a panel of cosmetic surgeons who evaluated non invasive fat reduction technologies.

Does Vaser Shape work?

Compared to the the other existing devices such as Zeltiq , Zerona, Liposonix it far more efficient and produces results instead of promising results. their has been proven theoretically, clinically and experimentally. The device is FDA approved. Vaser Shape does not destroy the fat cells but makes them leak fat which is eliminated by the lymphatic system. We consistently observe the decrease of... more

Vasershape

Great question and insight into the technology. vasershape is an unfocused ultrasound device (so is bella contour) - these devices are thought to work by helping the fat get removed from the fat cells which is then thought to be preferentially used as fuel by the body. animal studies of the vasershape device seem to show fat in the lymphatic system - meaning that the fat in the area treated did leak out of the fat cells and was absorbed into the lymphatic system. we have gotten some good... more

I am not a doctor, so I don't know the science behind how it's supposed to work, but I can tell you from experience that it didn't work at all for me. I had 12 treatments done. Six on my stomach and six on my saddlebags. I eat healthy and exercise regularly, but I couldn't seem to get rid of that stubborn belly fat. After researching the procedure, and reading over the testimonials, and looking at all the wonderful before and after pictures I thought I was the perfect candidate. I was SO disappointed. After all the time and money spent I barely lost a couple of centimeters, which trust me, isn't noticeable. I wouldn't recommend this procedure to anyone.
