REDEFINING
THE FUTURE
An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER® is unique in its ability to target fat while leaving other important tissues intact.
THE VASER® SYSTEM
VASER® is precise ultrasound-assisted technology combining mechanical and acoustic fragmentation/emulsification
of fat, designed to optimize procedure speed and efficiency while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue.1-3
Replaceable Suction Filter
Easy access to filter location for trapping any overflowing fat/fluids
VASER® Ultrasonic Amplifier
Efficient fragmentation of fatty tissue using continuous and/or pulsed wave energy with convenience display to track activation time
VentX® Infiltration & Aspiration Console
Quiet, efficient removal of fatty tissue with precise suction pressure control to preserve fat cell viability3-6
Precision Fluid Management™ System
Simplified and precise tracking of fluid by measuring infiltrate volume up to 4500mL
Universal Canister/Utility Rack
Adaptable sliding slots allow attachment of up to four 1,250cc collection canisters or other utilities and accessories
Peristaltic Infiltration Pump (not visible)
Smooth infiltration that is adjustable
and reversible
Wireless Footswitch (optional)
Untethered positioning for convenient and easy control over infiltration and ultrasound activation

HOW VASER WORKS
THE
DIFFERENCE
INFILTRATION
Tumescent Infusion – Tumescent fluid containing small gas bubbles 5 to 10 microns in size is infused throughout targeted fat tissue. Tight junctions between cells within blood vessel walls and connective tissues prevent gas bubbles from interspersing among and affecting these tissues.1
- Garcia O Jr. Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction: Current Concepts and Techniques. Cham, Switzerland: Springer Nature Switzerland; 2020.
FRAGMENTATION
Cavitation – Acoustic energy delivered through an ultrasonic probe results in rapid formation and collapse of bubbles in the tumescent fluid, dislodging clusters of intact fat cells with minimal (if any) impact on vessels, nerves, and other tissues.2-4,6
Acoustic streaming – Grooves on ultrasonic probe generate strong localized fluid forces, further separating dislodged fat clusters into smaller clumps, which can be used during fat grafting procedures.1,2,4-6

ASPIRATION
Fat Removal - The design of the small-diameter cannula minimizes trauma to vessels, nerves and the fibrous tissue matrix when inserted to suction out the mixed fat cell and tumescent fluid emulsion (compared to second-generation cannulas).

RETRACTION
Tissue Remodeling - Adipose tissue removal during liposuction creates a space for retraction to occur. Post-procedure skin retraction is optimized when the superficial fatty layer is “thinned” with minimal trauma to tissues and the elastic subcutaneous connective tissue matrix is preserved. This allows the skin to naturally retract and re-drape to the underlying frame during the healing process.1
