LIPOSCULPTURE

LIPOSCULPTURE is a European aesthetic technique that allows removing fat from the body and sculpting specifically the area under treatment. It is different from the typical liposuction, because this procedure substitutes the liposuction machine and it works with small syringes and thinner cannulas; it results in a hand-made work, less traumatic and more sophisticated, almost an artist work. But the most important is that the liposculpture results do not depend on the quality of the machine, but on the quality and capacity of the professional specialists. The liposculpture is an effective and secure treatment, ideal for feeling good. It is recommended for people with adiposities, in order to remove fat accumulation, and for people over weighted, as the beginning of an integral treatment. This technique gives a new appearance to those areas with fat accumulation. It can be effectively applied in different regions: abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, buttocks, knees, ankles, arms, armpits, neck and cheeks. It is the more frequently used aesthetic surgical technique. It is implemented in people of both genres, at any age, although, results are better in those people with higher degree of skin laxity, and it can be moulded on sculpted borders. Generally, results are permanent, provided that the patient keeps its weight.

It consists in a new technique that disintegrates and removes fat tissue, with minimum pain and effective results. This Lipo-selection or Lipo-Ultrasonic of third generation is different from others because it works with ultrasound in order to emulsify fat tissue, and its cannulas are designed to minimize tissue’s trauma, obtaining uniform results. Moreover, it is a proceeding approved by the ANMAT (National Authority of Medicine, Food and Technology), according to the security and efficacy shown in results obtained. As energy source, ultrasound has tissue selectivity, that is, it can be directed to an objective fat tissue without damaging surrounding tissues. During the procedure, the specialist makes a small incision in the selected area and places a small cannula of ultrasonic waves. The energy sent to the area separates fat into a liquid and is eliminated by suction and massage.
