What is Vaser Lipo ?
Liposuction technique that uses ultrasound energy to burn the fat tissue.
What is the difference between Vaser Lipo & Smart Lipo ?
Everything is different. The source of energy used to burn the fat, the ease with which the operation can be performed, the cost, the side effects and the risks.
Is Vaser Lipo better than Smart Lipo ?
Thats what some of hte Surgeons say.
The major difference between Vaser Lipo and Smart Lipo techniques is that , Vaser Lipo uses Ultrasound energy where as Smart Lipo uses laser based technology.
Which is better , Vaser Lipo OR Smart Lipo ?
Ultrasound energy as used in Vaser Lipo is highly specific to the fat emulsification. This means that the energy applied very much targeted towards achieving the results and there is less damage to the nearby parts of the fat tissue like nerves, blood vessels and the skin. This benefit many physicians consider a great benefit of VASER LIPO compared to the Smart Lipo which on the other hand depends on the laser based technologies which uses laser frequencies that are not specific for the fat as much as ultrasound energy of the VASER.
So the laser energy used to burn the fat tissue is equally burning the nearby skin cells, blood vessels. Though there is a short term benefit of this damage – like there will be less bruising because of coagulation o fblood vessels – but its in the interest of the patient not to damage any blood vessels or the skin.
Abdominal Risks of Using Smart Lipo
Smart Lipo being equally damaging to the nearby areas of treatment , it poses a significant risk to the patient if the laser penetrates the abdominal wall, leading to the bowel injury upon skin penetration.
Short term benefits of Smart Lipo that are not actually benefits:
Skin tightening : Unless you are taking Smart Lipo to tighten your skin , this may not be the right one for you. Not many physicians have seen significant results with respect to skin tightening after using Smart Lipo.
Verdict :
Though all the companies that manufacture Smart Lipo products claim this is the best for the patients , many doctors might advice there patients to choose VASER LIPO over Smart Lipo. The reason is clear, the laser assisted Smart Lipo does not offer any advantage over UltraSound energy based Vaser Lipo but exposes the patient to other forms of risk .
A word of advice :
The quality of your treatment , especially for liposuction , irrespective of the technology used mainly depends on the skill of your surgeon.
