ultrasonic assisted liposuction

i am dr. scott blyer from cameo medical center and i have received many questions about different non-surgical bodycontouring devices coolsculpting zerona smart lipo venus freeze the list goes one of my youtube subscribers asked me to share the differences between some of the morepopular machines so here we go the first type of machine i'd like to talk aboutare the radio frequency machines radiofrequency refers to the rate of oscillation these devices work by generating heat. just like the effect we see by cooking a piece of steak in a frying

pan we see it shrink in size. this is becauseof the the collagen retraction. in a live person we see this thermal energy causing skintightening and collagen contraction also followed by newcollagen formation by the stimulation of fibroblasts. heatcan destroy fat as i demonstrate here with myelectrocautery device on fat that was removed after a tummy tuck.to generate this type of heat externally without damaging the skin does not seemreasonable to me. i do not believe these devices are effective at all for fat reduction

although they may claim to be fdaapproved take a closer look at that at the fda approval most of the time they are approved for heating deep tissue not necessarily fat reduction. i personally do notbelieve this is a very good modality for fat reduction but it is but is effective for skin tightening. non-invasive lasers are also called low level laser therapy the definition ofthis technology means t here is no heat generated by the laseradditionally there are no visible immediate changes noted to the tissue. zeronafor example

works at 635 nanometers and the science behindis actually quite solid. it is fda-approved for the reduction of bodycircumference and it does not harm the fat cell. thefat cell after being exposed to the laser hasbeen shown to create a temporary window in the fat cell and this allows thecontent on the fat cells to escape shrinking the cell in size. where does thefat go? it moves between the cells in thelymphatic system and that is a finally eliminated fromyour body as waste patients are encouraged to drink amplewater and take the recommended vitamins

to maximize this elimination. with thistechnology there is no heat there is no pain thereis no down time there is no inflammation there is nodestruction or injuring of the fat cells when the patient is properly screen tosee if they are a good candidate the results are generally satisfactory. cryolipolysis or coolsculpting uses the technologyof controlled cooling to permanently destroy the fat cells.zeltiq is the company that makes coolsculpting

and they along with zerona are fda-approved for long-term subcutaneous thatreduction. generally people require one treatmentper area and a suction cup is applied to the skinthe skin is protected to avoid getting a frostbite to the skin and the fat cells are frozen tocrystallization this programs the the fat cell to auto-destruct results are seen between 1 and 3 months unlike many of the other non surgical body contouring devices this machine has very strong science behind it.

it was developed by harvard scientists there are over 50 peer-reviewed journalshowing efficacy out of all of the non surgical body contouring devices on the market i do believe this one isfar superior to all the others we get excellent results at my office in new york. ultrasound is another modality that by using mechanical motion within fat tissues it will produce cellular disruption of the tissue. thermal tissue damage focuses its effect on the fat cell, like a magnifying glass concentrating light from the sun

this is also call hifu or ahigh-frequency ultrasound the person's body then digests the fatcells over the next two to four weeks. thefinal result the scene about four to six months this machine is newer to the market and asfar as supporting research goes, it does not appear to bemore effective than the others but there is apparently a little bitmore discomfort than the other modalities previously discussed. the concept for all liposuction isthe same

fill the area up with tumescent fluid ornumbing fluid remove the fluid with the fat cell thisterm is also call sal or suction assisted liposuctionwhere a cannula is placed underneath the skin and manually strokedback and forth removing the fat cells pal or power assisted liposuction where the machine actually mechanicallymoves for the doctor to ease basically labor for the doctorit can also actually produce smoother results and hasbeen studies showing is less pain actually by using power assisted liposuction. ual or

ultrasound assisted liposuction alsoknown as vaser is when a wand is placed beneaththe skin through the fat tissue to emulsify the fat than that same cannula that we used beforeis actually put into the skin and the fat is sucked out were assistedliposuction uses high-powered water injection to break up with that the cannula is then again place thenthat is again then removed out and then there is laser assist the lipo which is all thehype right now the most popular name

is smart lipo the reason this is ahousehold name is 1. they were first to market just like aphotocopy is called xerox a photo used to be called polaroidacetaminophen is referred to as tylenol at issue iscalled kleenex everyone remembers the first to marketjust like that first guy when the moon no one knows the second guy second reason this company marketed to the public as opposed to market thedoctors were most medical devices market to a doctor the patients are nowactually asking for the procedure

because they are seeing magazine articles they're seeing news broadcast laserlipo is surgery it is a surgery just likeregular liposuction a laser probe was placed under the skinheats up the tissue heating up water and heating up the fatthere are claims that their skin tightening although there is never have been hashistological or microscopic evidence up this the tightness is a result on theunder surface of the skin is being burned and the skin becomes tighter.

after the laser is placed, the same cannulas are placed just liketraditional liposuction and the fat is simply sucked out. otherlaser liposuctions that are on the market are cool lipo, pro-lipo, lipo lite, lipotherme, slim lipo, smooth lipo mpx, and smartlipo triplex we just went over a lot of material andi hope this helps you in summary in the right type of person non-surgical result can be veryimpressive particularly with cool sculpting in myopinion if you have more specific
