Spa-Like Treatments, Noticeable Results
The right curves and contours can turn heads and raise
eyebrows. Unfortunately, many of us also have cellulite —
those extra dimples when we wear our short shorts, for
instance. The appearance of cellulite can be uneven and
unsightly.
Thanks to VASER Shape, there's a non-surgical solution to
smooth and shape your body. By temporarily reducing the
appearance of cellulite, each VASER Shape treatment gets you
closer to the smooth body you want.
VASER Shape uses ultrasound and massage therapy treatments to
warm the targeted problem area and treat the underlying fatty
tissue. It even promotes the metabolism and drainage of excess
toxins and fats.
The Perfect
Companion to VASER Lipo®
VASER Shape is often recommended in conjunction with VASER
Lipo (or any other body sculpting treatment) to:
-
Reduce post-operative pain
and swelling
-
Promote faster recovery (by
improving local circulation)
-
Shape and smooth treated
areas
Patients typically see better results week-over-week when
receiving VASER Shape treatments than when receiving
liposuction alone.

How It Works - The Science Behind
the Art
VASER® Shape achieves noticeable results without surgery. The key?
Combined ultrasound and massage therapy that treats fatty tissue
underneath the skin.
What Is
Ultrasound Diathermy?
Ultrasound diathermy uses high frequency sound waves to
generate localized heat beneath the surface of the skin. VASER
Shape achieves this effect with a special handpiece that
delivers two overlapping beams of ultrasound energy.
By moving the handpiece over a patient's body, a physician can
treat the tissue layer that is one to five centimeters below
the surface of the skin.
Heat produced by ultrasound diathermy creates a "micromassage"
effect on the fat cells. By warming the connective tissue,
redistributing fat and encouraging blood circulation, VASER
Shape temporarily reduces the appearance of cellulite to slim
and smooth your body shape.
Zonal Lymphatic Massage
The body's lymphatic system helps to remove toxins, excess
fluids and waste from the body. It does this by moving
unwanted waste particles through the lymph nodes to the blood
stream, where these substances can be filtered out of the
body.
Zonal massage stimulates the lymphatic system to drain away
excess toxins and fats. Used in concert with ultrasound
diathermy, zonal massage can help your body drain and
metabolize unwanted fluids from targeted problem areas. |

The lymphatic system helps to
filter toxins and bacteria in the body.
Ultrasound diathermy warms the targeted area and treats the
underlying fatty tissue
Zonal massage helps to increase local blood circulation, open
the lymph nodes and stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid
throughout the body.

Answers
to Common Questions
Answers to the most
frequently asked questions concerning VASER Shape treatments.
What is VASER® Shape? How does it differ from other
non-invasive treatments?
VASER Shape is a non-invasive ultrasound and massage therapy
treatment that smoothes, firms and shapes the body. VASER
Shape temporarily reduces the appearance of cellulite, and
increases local blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
The treatment uses ultrasound waves to warm the targeted
problem area and treat the underlying fatty tissue. It then
uses zonal lymphatic massage to drain away excess toxins and
lipids for removal from the body.
Unlike other non-invasive body shaping procedures, VASER Shape
is a comfortable massage-like treatment that only requires
three to five sessions for noticeable results.
What does non-invasive mean?
Non-invasive means no cuts, no incisions, and no surgery.
VASER Shape is a non-invasive, non-surgical technique.
Non-invasive treatments typically have little-to-no recovery
period and few side effects. Results with non-invasive
treatments are typically less dramatic than that achieved with
minimally invasive techniques, like VASER Lipo®.
How does VASER Shape work?
VASER Shape uses high-frequency sound waves for local heat
therapy and zonal massage to drain away excess toxins and
fats. Heat therapy warms the treatment area and creates a
"micromassage" effect on the fat cells. Zonal massage works
with the lymphatic system to drain away excess toxins and
fats, and increase local blood circulation.
Together, these two processes:
-
Smooth and shape the body by temporarily
reducing the appearance of cellulite
-
Improve local blood circulation, and
-
Reduce pain and swelling that can occur
after liposuction.
What body areas can be
treated with VASER Shape?
VASER Shape can be used to treat the following areas:
-
Abdomen
-
Back
-
Arms
-
Love handles
-
Hips
-
Buttocks
-
Thighs
What kinds of results can I
expect?
You can expect a temporary reduction in the appearance of
cellulite. Areas treated with VASER Shape appear more smooth
and "natural-looking" than before the treatment.
Where is VASER Shape performed?
VASER Shape is typically performed in an office setting by a
physician or other trained practitioner. VASER Shape does not
require anesthesia of any kind.
How soon will I see my results?
While you may see results after the first treatment, patients
typically see the most visible results after a regimen of
three to five sessions.
Is there a recovery period?
No. Following the procedure, you can resume normal activity
without pain or downtime. Your skin may appear slightly pink
and feel warm after the procedure due to the increased local
blood circulation in the area. This should resolve itself
within a few hours after the treatment.
Is VASER Shape right for me?
Although VASER Shape is recommended for a wide range of
patients, you should be realistic about the kinds of results
you expect from the treatment. We recommend consulting with a
physician to make sure VASER Shape is right for you.
How much does the treatment cost?
VASER Shape requires special equipment and administration by a
trained practitioner. The total cost of your procedure will
vary depending upon the number of body areas treated and the
total number of sessions required to achieve your desired
results. |

Traditionally, body
shaping has been perfomed by liposuction, also known as
liposculpture, tumescent liposucution, ultrasound assisted
liposuction, vibratory assisted liposuction. All of these procedures
can be performed safely to remove disproportionate fat from the
subcutaneous regions of the body such as the abdomen, hips, waist,
flanks, arms, buttocks, chest, and knees. Liposuction is performed
under a variety of anesthesia levels ranging from local anesthesia
using the Tumescent Technique to combinations using Intravenous
sedation to complete anesthesia, known as General Anesthesia.
 Now
a Non-Invasive technique of Body Shaping is evolving with
more advanced technologies using ultrasound, laser energy,
radiofrequency energy, and mechanical massage. A number of new
devices such as VELASMOOTH, BODY by THERMAGE, ACCENT Radiofrequency,
ULTRASHAPE, TRIACTIVE, ENDERMOLOGIE, ALUMA, and others are being
studied and refined. At Premier Plastic Surgery, Dr. Newman and his
team of doctors, nurses and aestheticians are putting these
technologies to work to improve cellulite, body shape, skin firming
both for patients undergoing liposuction as well as patients who
want a completely non surgical treatment.
Currently, Dr Newman And His Team
are focusing on the proven technology of volumetric tissue
tightening developed at THERMAGE and combining this with laser
energy and other modalities to enhance results. If you feel your
body is in need of some RE-SHAPING with or without liposculpture,
you may want to schedule a personal consultation to see what your
options are. Dr. Newman also works with the top personal trainers in
the San Francisco Bay Area and combine their professional services
to help patients achieve their goals. |

chest, thighs or breasts.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
What is an Accent Your Body treatment like?
A.
During the procedure, your doctor will use the Accent system to
precisely heat the tissue just within your skin's inner layer (dermis).
Depending on the size of the treated area, a treatment may take up to 45
minutes.
Following each treatment, you can immediately resume all routine
activities. You may notice a slight redness, which should disappear in
less than 24 hours. Generally, no more than three to five treatments at
two weeks intervals will be required.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
Is Accent Your Body safe?
A.
Absolutely. Incorporating advanced safety precautions, Accent
directs proven RF energy to precisely the areas of your skin that you wish
to improve. Thousands of patients have been treated safely and
successfully worldwide using the Accent system.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
When should I see results?
A.
Dual-layer RF Thermotherapy causes the deep structures of your skin
to tighten right away; results are immediately visible. With time, new
collagen develops, further tightening your skin and yielding even more
beautiful, natural looking and firmer skin. While just one or two
treatments can produce good results, your doctor may recommend follow-up
procedures to best maintain and improve your body's youthful appearance.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
Does it hurt?
A.
While pain tolerance is subjective, most people tolerate Dual-layer
RF Thermotherapy well, and have little or no discomfort. Patients often
describe the sensation as a "warm massage." The risk of significant side
effects is extremely low.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
How does RF work?
A.
During treatment, your doctor will precisely heat an area of the
inner layer of your skin (dermis) using radio frequency technology. As the
dermis is heated, a natural reaction occurs that promotes the creation of
new collagen. The result: a return to the smooth, shapely and elastic skin
of your youth.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
How specifically does the Accent Your Body system work?
A.
Accent Your Body is a new alternative in skin treatment based upon
Dual-layer RF (radio frequency) Thermotherapy. The Accent system is the
only system on the market using two individual types of radio frequency
technology: Unipolar and Bipolar. This unique dual radio frequency
technology provides controlled volumetric tissue heating to two distinct
depths of tissue.
Basically, the Bipolar module focuses on the surface layer of the skin,
while the Unipolar module penetrates further for deep dermal
thermotherapy. The Bipolar treatment is well suited for areas where the
skin is thinner and more delicate, such as the face, helping to smooth
fine lines and wrinkles. The Unipolar treatment generates alternating
electromagnetic fields that cause friction and heating in the deeper
tissues, which leads to improvements in overall shaping and firmness.
Taken together, these dual-layer treatments can create dramatic change
without the need for invasive surgery.
