Vaser Liposuction

In response to the problems of UAL, the VASER assisted liposuction (VAL) system has recently become more popular. In this procedure, the cannula has been redesigned and produces about 25 percent less mechanical and thermal energy, reducing the risk of burns and injury. This is accomplished by using short, intense bursts of energy which emulsify the fat like in UAL, but by reducing the average energy over time, the risk of burning the skin is much lower. In addition, the VASER cannulas are about half as thick as traditional ones, reducing the opening incisions to about 3-4 mm, as opposed to about ¼ inch for non-VASER procedures. Due to the price of the equipment and the lack of doctors using VASER liposuction, the cost of VAL may be greater than other forms of liposuction.
