Vaser liposuction
Vaser liposuction is a specific type of liposuction which uses sound wave amplification to liquify fat from the surrounding structures. Liposuction is usually completed with hollow tubes which are passed through the fatty tissues while under suction. Fat is removed with each pass. Vaser uses solid metal rods which vibrate due to sound amplification. This makes the fat removal more effecient.
