VASER: TV3 interviews
Irish TV3 interviews Dr Patrick J. Treacy about VASER®. This liposuction device emulsifies fat prior to removal, facilitating the liposuction process and reducing pain and tissue damage. LipoSelection® uses an ultrasound probe to break up fat before it is removed. This type of liposuction reduces pain and results in a faster healing time. Unlike other fat removal methods, LipoSelection® leaves the surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and tissue virtually unharmed. After a local anesthetic is applied, the surgeon will fill the area to be treated with a saline wetting solution to numb the site and shrink blood vessels. This helps minimize post-surgical bruising and swelling. A small probe emitting high frequency sound energy is used to break up fat on contact with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Fat may then be easily extracted with liposuction tubes.
