For many people, beauty and liposuction go hand-in-hand - completing the appearance of an individual and complementing their looks perfectly. It is a great way to scuplt the body to the desired image. Some individuals consider liposuction to assist with weight loss and to obtain a younger, more agile body - with the looks to go with it!

Many liposuction patients have an ideal perception of their perfect body - this is often obtained via looking through magazines, watching television and idolizing your favourite celebrities or role models. It is important, however, that all potential liposuction patients learn what is and can be beautiful about their own physical shape - as no two people are the same!
Beauty is about being highly familiar with ones own body - and being able to manipulate it in a healthy, positive manner.

Liposuction can assist with those who may suffer from difficult weight loss issues such as obesity. Many people are genetically predisposed to collecting and storing fat in certain places across their body - such as abdomen, thighs or neck. It is important that you look at yourself and your family to obtain a realistic result for your liposuction surgery.

Liposuction in obese patients

Liposuction is one of the more common elective surgical procedures in the US and is supposed to be on the increase. There are no reported studies specifically addressing the metabolic sequelae of liposuction in obesity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of large-volume liposuction on insulin resistance and circulating inflammatory markers in obese people. Thirty healthy premenopausal obese (body mass index (BMI) from 30 to 45) and 30 age-matched normal weight (BMI<25) women were studied. In obese women, insulin sensitivity, as measured by the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA=fasting plasma glucose x fasting serum insulin divided by 25), as well as serum adiponectin, the novel adipocytokine with insulin sensitising properties, were significantly lower, as compared with nonobese women (p<0.01), indicating insulin resistance; on the contrary, serum concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-18 and TNF-alpha, as well as the sensitive marker of inflammation C-reactive protein, were significantly higher (p<0.01). All obese women were submitted to a single large volume liposuction (superwet technique): the mean aspirate volume was 3540 ml (range 2550-4670), corresponding to a net lipid loss of 2.7+/-0.7 kg (mean+/-SD). After six months of stable body weight after liposuction, women were less insulin resistant (p<0.05), had reduced concentrations of IL-6, IL-18, TNF-alpha and CRP (p<0.05-0.02), and increased serum levels of adiponectin (p<0.02) and HDL-cholesterol (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between the amount of fat aspirate and changes in HOMA (r=0.28, p<0.05), TNF-alpha (r=0.31, p<0.02), and adiponectin (r=-0.34, p<0.02), as well as between the decrease in TNF-alpha and the increase in adiponectin after the surgical procedure (r=-0.45, p<0.01). Our study demonstrates that liposuction is safe and free of metabolic sequelae in obese women, pending a careful screening of the patient. Moreover, it is associated with amelioration of insulin resistance and reduced circulating markers of vascular inflammation which may help obese subjects to reduce their cardiovascular risk.

Vaser Liposuction - Gently reshape your body by emulsifying the fat.

Latest breakthrough in liposculpture

• Liquefies and melts fat
• Rapid healing
• Promotes smooth result
• Enhances skin retraction and tightening

Dr Lanzer has been investigating personally the new state of the art Vaser for enhanced liposculpture. The third generation high frequency ultrasound is combined with the tumescent liposculpture method to enhance healing and results. Dr Lanzer explained that the Vaser targets the Fat only and so is safe.

The procedure can be done awake or asleep depending on patients preference.
Markings are done before the procedure as in regular liposculpture and particular attention is given to where the fat bulges and where extra skin contraction is needed.
The fat is filled with the tumescent fluid that was developed by co- dermatologist some 20 years ago. Dr Lanzer says that the fluid make liposuction much safer and allowed us to remove more fat and more evenly and from new areas such as the breast. At this point the Vaser is passed through the fat layer emulsifying it into a soft liquid which is then gently removed.
The Vaser not only liquefies the fat but also stimulates the collagen to tighten and contract.

The Vaser technology is also combined with the new concept of Hi Def whereby Dr Lanzer sculptures between muscle groups to enhance the athletic appearance. It most dramatic result is on stomach to produce the “6 pack” look or the natural grooves on women’s stomach. The vaser Hi Def is also very effective for love handle removal and Man Boobs.
Female Breast enlargement normally requires an implant. The Vaser Hi Def can also give an enlarging result to the breast by sculpturing around the breast and possibly with fat injection into the breast.

Liposculpture / Liposuction

Liposuction is a weight loss technique and the best candidates are those who have stubborn areas of fat that just will not go away. There is often a genetic component to the problem as people are preprogrammed to collect fat in defined locations such as the thighs and abdomen. We often see similar body shapes within families. This genetic predisposition is what makes it so difficult to rid these areas of their excess fat.

The best candidates for Liposuction are:
People whose weight is within the normal range or slightly above normal yet want to improve their figure.
People with excess fatty tissue located in a well-defined area.
Men and women who are in good general health.
Patients with good skin tone and elasticity, however all skin types can do well from liposuction.
The most common areas for patients to have Liposuction are the abdomen, waist, hips, inner and outer thighs, inner knees, arms, chest, back and under the jaw. In addition many men undergo Liposuction for excess breast tissue, known as Gynecomastia.
One of the many benefits of Liposuction is that it can be performed through tiny incisions, which can usually be placed in very discrete, well-camouflaged locations such as natural body creases. This allows for ideal healing and makes it very difficult for the scars to be visible with the passage of time.
Liposuction is actually a form of body sculpting,a saline solution is infused containing both an anesthetic and a medicine to reduce bleeding. This will firm up the area to allow more accurate “Liposculpting” and better results. The procedure is performed with a small hollow tube, known as a cannula, thru which the unwanted excess fat is permanently removed. Liposuction works because fat cells do not have the ability to reproduce and make new cells. The improved contours are proportionately maintained no matter what the patient’s future weight might be.

VIBROSAUN
What is the Vibrosaun:

Vibrosaun is the result of a long and intensive study by a group of highly qualified people: A medical practitioner, a chiropractor, an osteopath, a physiotherapist and a design engineer, It was the intent of this group to create a simple, economical and universal machine that would as near as possible, stimulate exercise without putting stress on the body. This has not only been achieved, but the benefits derived by the users of the vibrosaun have been overwhelming.

Conceived by Laurie Hardie in 1985. The Vibrosaun is simply a state of the art- therapeutic dry sauna. A self contained unit consisting of a padded vibrating bed with dry heat circulated throughout the unit.
Cooling negative ion charged air is fed onto the patients face. Stereophonic music and aromatherapy is integrated into the head rest area. All functions can be controlled from within the unit by the user, i.e degree of heat, degree of vibration and velocity of negative ion charged air onto the face can all be controlled by the user or can be preset to suit each individuals personal requirements.

The vibrosaun combines sauna and vibration in a reclining position and stimulates the effect of exercising or massage. The vibration is set to a frequency believed to be acceptable to the subconscious, therefore reducing stress by promoting mental and physical relaxation particularly when combined with a suitable selection of music or therapeutic CDs played through the built in speakers. The vibrating bed allows the user to maintain a degree of muscle tone and fitness in a gentle and soothing way.

How the Vibrosaun works:

The vibrosaun relaxes the muscles whilst the introduction of heat dilates the blood vessels. Thereby increasing the heart and pulse rate. This, in turn increases the blood flow and intake of oxygen. The body cells use oxygen to burn up carbohydrates, such as starch, etc. And then burn up the fat cells. It also accelerates the kidney function in the removal of lactic acids and the body wastes. A healthier body must result.

What can Vibrosaun do?

Weightloss:

Because the vibration relaxes the muscles and stimulates movement, even this in itself contributes in a minor way to the burning up of calories, then as the dry heat is introduced and the body temperature increases, this dilates the blood vessels and increases circulation, intake of oxygen and of course increases the heart and pulse rate, when the circulation is increased at this time, we believe the body receives signals from the brain and releases the stored up energy exactly the same as it does when the circulation is increased per medium of physical exercise.

The Vibrosaun has proven to be a very effective method in assisting with weight reduction. The machine may be programmed to stimulate the effects if a stimulating jog without the harmful side effects. Best results are combined with Liposuction for body contouring.

Cellulite:

The Vibrosaun could have been called the ‘Cellulite Buster”. All of its key features and effects are generally considered the major factors in cellulite reduction. Many Vibrosaun users have reported rapid reduction in unsightly cellulite.

Arthritis Relief:

Because the heat dilates the blood vessels and increases the circulation, the kidney function is improved thereby filtering out toxins, including lactic acid. Lactic acid can build up in the joints causing arthritis and in fact people using Vibrosaun regularly, have reported complete relief from pain that accompanies arthritis.

Stress and Insomnia:

Once again, the relaxing vibration coupled with the heat and increased circulation lull the body into a sense of deep relaxation and serenity.

Back Ache:

The relaxing vibration combined with the heat, not only relaxes the muscle but as the user is in a recumbent position, the vertebra are separated allowing the dilated blood to flow unobstructed throughout the spinal column as the blood nurtures every tissue in the body.

It is our belief that when pain is registered in the back, the brain sends a message to the appropriate muscles to contract restricting the blood flow and putting pressure on the nervous system, the more the muscle contract, the more other muscles contract in sympathy resulting in back ache, therefore the relaxing of the muscles and increased circulation, combined with the heat and relaxed state of mind encouraged by the negative ion charged air, the soothing music and aromatherapy, relief and accelerated healing result.
