What's the difference between vaser liposuction and lipolysis combined?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Vaser liposuction is a procedure which is used to change the contours and shape of the body by removing persistent fat deposits. Vaser stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It is a specialised ultrasound technology used to break down fat cells by sending out ultrasonic frequency waves.While Lipolysis is the breakdown of lipids and involves hydrolysis of triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids. Predominantly occurring in adipose tissue, lipolysis is used to mobilize stored energy during fasting or exercise. I recommend to see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Harry T. Haramis, MD, FACS · Answer

Vaser uses high frequency sound waves to soften fat (lipolysis) and tighten skin. It also allows for excellent fat transfer during liposuction.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Laura Riehm, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question.  Vaser liposuction is ultrasound assisted liposuction.  There will be holes through the skin and you will at least need local anesthesia.  Laser lipolysis can mean something like SculpSure where the laser stays on the surface and only its energy penetrates the skin.  SculpSure destroys up to 24% of the fat cells in the treated area that your body has to eliminate over the next 6 to 16 weeks.  It is completely non-invasive with no downtime.  I hope this helps.

Vaser liposuction is the ultimate, Gold Standard, of all fat removing modalities. It provides for definitive means of removing fat as well as preserving the fat so that it can be transferred to the buttocks when needed. Lypolysis refers to the act of breaking apart a fat cell so that it is dead which occurs when you use a laser liposuction system.
