The VASER Lipo System, from Sound Surgical Technologies LLC,
is a minimally invasive body contouring technology that uses
ultrasonic energy to break apart and emulsify fatty deposits,
while preserving other important tissue structures. These
fat deposits are then removed from the body using minimally
traumatic aspiration cannulas, called VentX®, that maximize
procedure speed and efficiency while reducing trauma to the
surrounding tissue. VASER, which stands for Vibration Amplification
of Sound Energy at Resonance, received FDA clearance for aesthetic
body contouring in 2002. More than 100,000 VASER Lipo procedures
have been performed worldwide with an excellent safety record.
MiRadiance Aesthetic Medical Centers stand at the forefront
of advanced body contouring technologies to master the art
of body contouring and enhancing body image for all of our
clients. We are dedicated to working with the technology
that gives our clients the best and safest results with
minimal down time.
There have been numerous scientific publications on the
VASER Lipo system. We list below selected scientific articles:
1.) Ultrasonic Surgery:Power Quantification
and Efficiency Optimization, William C. Cimino, PhD. Aesthetic
Surgery Journal, May/June 2001. Conclusions: Two simple
measurements referred to as H2O power and energy efficiency
provide a basis for objective comparison of different ultrasonic
instrumentation. These measurements will assist in standardizing
clinical observations. (Aesthetic Surg J 2001; 21:233-241.)
2.) Clinical Application of VASER-assisted Lipoplasty:
A Pilot Study, Mark Lawrence Jewell, MD; Peter Bela Fodor,
MD; Ewaldo Bollvar de Souza Pinto, MD; and Mussab Abdulrahman
Al Shammari, MD. Aesthetic Surgery Journal, March/April
2002. Conclusions: The initial clinical experience with
VASER-assisted lipoplasty indicates that it is a safe and
efficient technique for body-contouring surgery. (Aesthetic
Surg J 2002;22:131-146.)
3.) Suction-Assisted Lipoplasty:Physics,
Optimization, and Clinical Verification, Peter B. Fodor,
MD; William W. Cimino, PhD; James P. Watson, MD; and Amir
Tahernia, MD. Aesthetic Surgery Journal, May/June 2005.
Conclusions: With clinical objectives in mind, guidelines
and recommendations are presented, based on the data we
collected, to optimize a lipoplasty system with regard to
choices of vacuum pump, suction tubing, and canister. With
the ideal system in place, the cannula becomes the only
remaining variable. Cannula properties and performances
were also studied and are discussed in detail. (Aesthtic
Surg J 2005;25:234-246.)
4.) The Physics Of Soft Tissue Fragmentation
Using Ultrasound Frequency Vibration Of Metal Probes, William
W. Cimino, PhD. Clinics in Plastic Surgery, Volume 26, Number
3, July 1999.
