What Is Vaser
Body sculpting is the only treatment suitable for truly getting that hot beach ready body
What is Vaser ?
Vaser Liposuction is the most advanced ultrasound fat reduction technology available today. Vaser is a trade name of Solta Medical who manufacture the equipment. Vaser is a minimally invasive ultrasound system that uses sound waves to disrupt the fat cells which are then removed via suction. The procedure allows the practitioner to target stubborn pockets of fat and create a highly sculptured outcome. Large areas of fat are melted away and your body is contoured around the various muscle groups, leaving you great. The procedure is “Tissue Selective�, which means only fat cells are targeted whilst the tissue is protected. Vaser is so effective that it can treat both large areas of fatty deposits as well as being delicate enough to treat chin, neck and arms, leaving you thinner with smoother skin. From simple improvements in problem areas to major full-body transformations, VASER is probably one of the most flexible and effective modalities and treatments available.

4 The Need For Fat Reduction Britain - The Fat Man Of Europe Obesity levels in the UK have more than trebled in the last 30 years, and on current estimates, more than half the population could be obese by 2050. This phenomena is not selective and women as just as likely to suffer from the condition as men. The knock on effect is a corresponding rise in associated conditions such as Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke, Gout and general poor health. Obesity Related Illness

This worsening scenario places enormous burdens on an already pressurised health care system as demand for resources is channelled into the effects of what is in a lot of cases a lifestyle choice, or outcome from poor education in food and nutrition. Other aggravating factors are the rise of junk food outlets, processed food, cheap alcohol and oversized portions in Gastro pubs. The situation is further evidenced by the growing number of very large people traversing the streets perched on oversized electric scooters. The irony is that if these people walked a little more, they probably would not need the scooter in the first place. www.genesis.clinic/vaser

Modality Options
Many non invasive procedures have very low client satisfaction rates. Vaser continues to receive the best reviews worldwide.
Amongst your choices for fat reduction are Surgical, Minimally invasive and non invasive. Some treatments are available on the NHS, but most are only available from Private Health Care providers, especially those considered aesthetic or cosmetic. Below is a non exhaustive list of such treatments categorised for your convenience. Surgical • • • • •
Gastric Band, (sleeve gastrectomy, staple) Gastric Bypass ( Roux-en-Y) Gastric Balloon Traditional Liposuction ( Under GA or heavy sedation) Abdominoplasty ( Tummy tuck)
Minimally Invasive • • •
Vaser Smart Lipo Liposuction
Non Invasive • • • • •
Low level Laser Lipolysis Cryolipolysis Radio Frequency Ultrasonic Cavitation: Hi Frequency ultrasound
Each modality varies in effectiveness and end result. The more invasive procedures such as Gastric Bands yield results steadily, whilst the minimally invasive procedures such as Vaser results in a quick visible reduction of fat that generally continues post procedure as your body sheds the long term build up of toxics stored in the excess fat. Minimally invasive procedures vary in results and do not promise the predictable outcomes of surgery or Vaser type treatments.

Benefits Of Vaser
Don't settle for size reduction, plan the shape you want to be and put some “Oomph” back into your strut
Vaser has a number of distinct advantages over Surgical procedures such as the minimally invasive approach which leads to less down time, less tissue trauma, no need for hospitalisation and is generally a quicker solution that procedures such as Gastric Bands. However, each procedure has it’s place and Gastric bands out many patients as a combined lifestyle change approach. Vaser can be described as a “quick Fix”, but Patients are advised to consider an appropriate attitude to exercise, diet and Nutrition, and a good practitioner would discuss ongoing and post procedure options with the Patient as a matter of good practice. One of highlights of the Vaser procedure are the quantifiable and visible results evident as the procedure is carried out. Your Doctor can advice exactly how much fat has been extracted and from where on your body. You are able to collaborate with your Doctor in shaping your body as he/she carries out the treatment, which is why Vaser Patients report high satisfaction rates with their outcomes. www.genesis.clinic/vaser

How Vaser Works
The relationship you have with your practitioner is very important and can impact the quality of the outcome
Vaser uses ultrasound energy to disrupt and emulsify the fat tissue between the skin and muscle. Vaser is perfectly safe as it leaves all other tissue, such as blood vessels, connective tissue, skin and muscle in tact and undamaged. This is why a good practitioner achieve a highly sculptured look. There is also some skin shrinkage with further enhances the visual outcome. Once the fat is liquified it is removed using a small canula which is inserted into tiny incisions which are usually 3-4 mm in size. The action is a combination of suction and massage. There is usually some residual fat and liquid left in the body from the procedure and this is normally excreted naturally over the coming few days, further enhancing the sculptured look. Your Practitioner is able to treat multiple areas at your direction to give you the exact look you desire. Vaser Magician Doctors can reintroduce some of the aspirated fat to mold you to the perfect desired shape.
