VASER® Fat Viability

VASER-treated fat can be used for subsequent fat grafting procedures

The VASER Lipo® System is a revolutionary body contouring technology that was specifically designed to optimize the preservation of fat cells for subsequent fat grafting procedures.

Utilizing ultrasonic energy to selectively target and break apart fat cells, the System's technology allows physicians to immediately remove, harvest and re-inject the fat to contour and augment other parts of the body, including the face, hands, breasts and buttocks.

Recent clinical studies confirm the viability of VASER-treated fat and dispute the common misunderstanding that the VASER Lipo System's ultrasonic energy destroys fat cells and prohibits them from successfully being re-injected.

  • Cytori Therapeutics conducted a multi-site study that confirmed the viability of VASER-treated fat at 85% and regenerative cells at 87%. Learn More >
  • The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found the viability of VASER-treated fat to be over 80% six weeks post re-injection.
  • A study performed with Thermogenesis showed that 80% of VASER-treated fat cell packets are 1mm or less in size. This small cell packet size allows for the fat cells to easily revascularize upon re-injection for more predictable, long-lasting results.
