WHAT IS IT?

Gentle pulsed ultrasonic

energy that melts the

fat instantly.

Just like the traditional

liposuction with a

vibrating canula.

Small 1mm filament

using laser energy.

 

HOW DOES
IT WORK?

Ultrasonic energy melts the

fat, leaving nerve endings

and vessels intact.

More effective in removing

the fat than traditional

methods, less effective

than the vaser.

Laser burns everything

in its path including nerves

and vessels.

 

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?

The gold standard of body

sculpting so far. Stubborn

areas disappear overnight.

Smooth, predictable results.

Great for sculpting non-fibrous

areas. The Vaser is a great

complement for scarred and

fibrous areas.

Minimal results due to

limitation on how much

can be done in one session.

Less discomfort.

 

WHAT IS THE PROCESS?

Ultrasonic energy melts the

fat into liquid which is

removed from the body.

Traditional liposuction canula

vibrates during the procedure.

Laser energy vaporizes fat,

nerves and vessels in its path.

 

IS IT FDA APPROVED?

Yes, this is a 4th generation

ultrasonic device Approved

by the FDA.

Yes Yes NO

ARE THE RESULTS DRAMATIC?

Yes - Other devices can not

give the same results.

Better than traditional

liposuction but inferior

to Vaser.

It is appropriate for small

areas but it would take a

large amount of time to

sculpt a full body.

 

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE RECOVERY TIME?

One to two weeks of

having to wear

compression garments.

To the gym by the

third week.

One to two weeks of

having to wear

compression garments.

To the gym by the

third week.

Less downtime since

much smaller areas can

be addressed

(less dramatic results).

 

COMPARABLE RESULTS:

Superior, relatively low

downtime. Great results.

Good

Limited by the amount

of fat removed.

Unpredictable

COST:

Usually one single price

with no multiple visits.

Usually one single price

with no multiple visits.

Will require multiple

sessions if used alone

in large areas.
