The VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) Lipo machine was launched in the UK in 2005. It is manufacturer by Sound Surgical Technologies from Colorado, USA and is targeted at fat reduction by selectve Liposuction.
Liposelection® is the word being used for liposuction procedures performed using this VASER specific device, using ultrasound energy to break up the fat cells before they are then extracted using suction.
How does VASER Lipo work? Liposuction (also called lipoplasty and liposculpture is a surgical technique (performed under anaesthesia – general or local plus sedation) for removing areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to a healthy diet and regular exercise, such as areas around the back, chest, stomach, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, underneath the chin and the neck.
Note that It is not effective for reducing cellulite or as an alternative to sensible dieting. Nor can it prevent you from wait gain.
Traditional liposuction techniques involve the removal of unwanted fat through a hollow cannula with the assistance of vacuum suction and pumping via the surgeon. Liposuction techniques available include SAL (Suction Assisted Liposuction) and PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction). Following these traditional techniques, UAL (Ultrasound Assisted Lipoplasty), became available in the early 1990s which uses ultrasound energy, emitted via the tip of a cannula, to first liquefy the fat first before it is extracted by vacuum suction.
Advanced liposuction methods also employ ultrasound to break up the fat cells before they are then extracted using the suction. However, the VASER system differs from previous generations of UAL in its application of the ultrasound.
During the VASER procedure (in common with traditional liposuction techniques), a saline solution containing a drug to shrink blood vessels in order to reduce bleeding, and an anaesthetic to numb the area (such as lignocaine/lidocaine) are introduced through a small incision in the treatment area. This solution is used to “wet” the treatment area and loosen up the fatty tissue ready for the ultrasound delivery. It also makes it easier to remove all the emulsified fat in a single solution once treatment is complete.

According to the manufacturer:
- It is not a cure for obesity or a treatment for cellulite. Suitable candidates for VASER Lipo are average weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of fat in specific areas.
- Areas that can benefit from liposuction in general can be treated with VASER® Lipo and include stubborn fat around the back, chest, stomach, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, underneath the chin and the neck.
- Due to the technique used with VASER Lipo it is considered ideal for the sculpting of delicate areas of the body which may be harder to access with traditional techniques, e.g., arms, inner thighs, neck and chin.
