Vaser Liposuction

Zerona is an external device which may or may not have any impact on the fat cells and their viability. The Vaser actually works, and reduces the fat into small particles so they can safely be evacuated. Comparing the Vaser and Zerona is apples and oranges. The Vaser is internal ultrasound, the Zerona is an external laser. The Vaaser is superior in every way but pain. The Zerona is painless until you have to pay the bill. The Vaser hurts physically,... more

Vaser or Zerona for Hips and Thighs?

WOW! Like apples and oranges, these two techniques are SO different. Zerona is a NON INVASIVE therapy, no anesthesia, done over many sessions. To attain minimal if any results. While Vaser or any type of liposuction is invasive one time operation under anesthesia, with result in 99% of the cases. Costs are close to each other. I have an idea, ask the Zerona doctor for a 50% refund when after 6 sessions you see no improvement so you can have a deposit for liposuction. Try that. more

Liposuction vs. non-invasive machine for fat

Lets make this simple. There is absolutely no comparison as VASER is far superior in direct fat reduction and contouring.

Vaser Liposuction for Hips and Thighs

Vaser liposuction uses ultrasonic sound waves to emulsify the fat. This also creates a warming effect and decreases the amount of force required to remove the individual fat cells. The sound waves radiate which allows one to create a smoother contour. Zerona may not provide a result that is as predictable and reliable compared to the Vaser however I am aware of not such comparison studies. In general my advice is that liposuction is liposuction. It really does... more

Let's reverse the question. Since Zerona uses the power of a laser pointer and claims it melts fat, the question to ask is how can ANY mode of liposuction not be superior to this form of placebo? If you need liposuction, you will do far better with the VASER in the hands of a board-certified Plastic Surgeon.
