Is Vaser lipo better than Smart lipo?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Wednesday, 23 June 2010 13:24 PM

We’re often asked this question when patients come for their initial consultation, and it’s a valid question!

It’s not a matter of ‘better’ per se; they are very different methods of removing fat from the body. Smart Lipo has some advantages over traditional liposuction, but none over VASER. Vaser works differently in the way that it removes the fat and has more advantages than convention lipo and Smart laser solutions.

Simply put, Smart Lipo uses a laser to break up the fat, whereas VASER Lipo uses ultrasound technology. VASER Lipo has demonstrated excellent recovery times, because it does not damage blood vessels, nerves or connective tissues when it is melting the fat. Also, VASER is much more specific for fat than any other modality. With VASER the surgeon can treat small or large areas whereas Smartlipo is more limited to smaller areas.

VASER Lipo is performed under local anaesthesia and greatly reduce risk and recovery times, compared with traditional liposuction.

Glory Above Credibility?

Last week I was privileged to be invited to attend a global experts meeting in Miami for a leading dermal filler company. Being the only UK doctor, I was quite apprehensive as the delegate list included doctors whose work I have admired and whose research has paved the way forward for the aesthetic speciality. The meeting was extremely educational on numerous levels and I felt I was able to contribute effectively on several topics.

However I was awestruck by the amount of research each of the American doctors had carried out to help advance our knowledge. The US Food & Drugs Administration (FDA) comes under a lot of criticism there, like the Care Quality Commission has done here in the UK, but what the FDA does create, is a culture to provide good evidence based medicine, more akin to NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) here in the UK.

Dr Ravi Jain is now a Vaser Lipo trainer!

Not content with being one of the best Vaser practitioners in the UK, Doctor Jain is now delighted to announce that he is a vaser Lipo trainer as well!

After numerous recommendations within the industry, and due to the enormous number of patients he has treated with Vaser Lipo, Doctor Jain’s success rate means he is the ideal person to train other doctors on Vaser Lipo and it’s benefits.

Says Doctor Jain: “To me it means that I can be instrumental in trying to raise standards in the industry as well as help increase patient satisfaction and safety across Europe. We’re going to raising the bar with lipo training higher than any other lipo course in the uk!”

I’ve had Vaser Lipo – what happens next?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Tuesday, 20 October 2009 13:38 PM

One of the things our patients talk about most is the fantastic aftercare and advice they get from Dr Ravi Jain. We don’t believe that once you’ve had your VASER Lipo we can forget about you, and we keep in touch to make sure things are going well and you’re taking our advice.

Below is a list of things you can do to ensure you get the best possible results after your treatment:

  1. Wait 2 weeks before exercising again to allow bruising/swelling to settle down evenly and avoiding risk of accidental trauma.
  2. Wear compression garment 24/7 for 3 weeks then 12 hrs a day for 3 more weeks.
  3. Get a smaller garment once it loosens to help improve the body contour
  4. If you can wear compression for longer (3 months) then do, to further ehance the contour.
  5. Exercise regularly (after the first 2 weeks) and you will lose more fat and improve the drainage and definition.
  6. Maintain a sensible, healthy diet.
  7. Drink lots of water.
  8. Use Accent Radiofrequency skin tightening programmes to further tighten the skin, reduce the body contour and smoothen out any potential unevenness.
