Boston, MA-February 19, 2010–Preliminary findings from a multi-center clinical study measuring postoperative skin retraction in VASER® Liposelection patients shows 40% to 60% tightening. Patients in the study underwent body-contouring treatments in one or more body areas with the VASER® Liposelection System. Skin markings were placed on areas to be treated and measurements have been taken over a 6-month period.

“Physicians have been reporting skin tightening benefits with the VASER® Liposelection System since the technology was released in 2002,” said Dan Goldberger, CEO of Sound Surgical Technologies LLC. “This study now provides the empirical proof of the clear advantage of using VASER® ultrasonic energy in all body contouring procedures.”

Most doctors agree that the key to good skin retraction is related to treating the layer of fat directly under the skin. This allows the physician to effectively sculpt an area and stimulate the dermal collagen resulting in skin tightening. The precision of the VASER® ultrasonic energy allows a physician to safely treat these areas to give patients smooth, predictable results.

The VASER® Liposelection System was designed to provide physicians with a versatile tool to treat all areas of the body, from small procedures in the face and neck, to large volume treatments in the abdomen and back. VASER® ultrasonic energy is able to selectively liquefy fat while preserving important tissue structures vital to natural skin tightening. By preserving nerves, blood vessels and collagen, patients also experience minimal to no pain and bruising postoperatively allowing for a fast return to normal activities.

Sound Surgical Technologies placed its first VASER® Liposelection System on the market in March 2001. More than 100,000 procedures have been performed worldwide using the VASER® Liposelection System. An alternative to traditional tumescent liposuction, the VASER – Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance – Liposelection System uses an advanced ultrasonic fat removal technology that has become a trusted method in a society saturated with fad procedures. Demanded by physicians and patients alike, the results are smooth and consistent with fast patient recovery. The VASER® Liposelection System is FDA cleared for body contouring.

It is important that you entrust your liposuction to a VASER® Liposelection surgeon experienced in performing this procedure.
