he most important technology that has been introduced is the use of ultrasound energy, i.e. the VASER, to assist in fat removal.
Another more recent technology has been coined subdermal coagulation and refers to the ability to use Helium activated radiofrequency to tighten skin. The unique feature of this machine, called the Renuvion J plasma, is that it can tighten skin without the need for surgical excision lines and potential scars.
These two technologies have come together to allow for high definition liposuction to be the new GOLD STANDARD in body contouring. We have developed several advances in high definition liposuction that have been developed at our center and described below.

What’s the difference between VASER Lipo vs. Smart Lipo is a common concern in patients that I consult for body contouring. There are definite advantages of Vaser Lipo vs Smart Lipo that should be discussed.
First, Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy to dislodge fat cells from a solid to a liquid form; this is different than smart lipo which uses laser technology to literally drill and liquefy fat cells; Both end in a more liquid form of fat which is then suction able.
Fat cell transfer requires the cells to become vascularized otherwise face death. When a fat cell dies, it can become prone to infection. If there is a small volume of fat cells that die, then the body will be able to remove them.
However, if there is a large volume of fat cells that die in one region, then they cannot be reabsorbed, and will subsequently create a lake of dead fat cells.
