The most important determinant of your outcome following VASER liposuction is choosing the right team that has experience with the VASER portion of your surgery. 
The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
In my personal opinion, I don't think it wise to apply infrared energy to a area of healing as it increases tissue metabolism and increases blood supply demands. As the blood supply to the tissues is altered by the procedure, and if it becomes inadequate due to these increased blood supply demands, it could result in skin necrosis. 
Discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon before using this modality. 
Best wishes...
