VASER® Lipo – a gentle body contouring procedure
with smooth results and fast recovery! Now available locally!
Ashland, PA – Hundreds of thousands of people choose to undergo cosmetic body contouring procedures each year, but now many are looking for safer, less painful alternatives to traditional tumescent liposuction. Dr. Keith Girton, Kendra Body Sculpting, located at the medical office building on the St. Catherine’s Medical Center campus is now using the much talked about VASER Lipo System to meet patients’ demands for gentle body contouring procedures that produce natural looking results with the minimal downtime.
“We are seeing amazing results with VASER Lipo,” said Dr. Girton. “The VASER ultrasound system selectively targets
and breaks apart the fat tissues while preserving the surrounding nerves and blood vessels. Because of this my
patients experience less bruising and less downtime which is why I am so excited to offer this technology in my practice.”
An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape the body. The sound energy is transmitted through small probes, between 2.2 and 3.7 mm wide, with special grooves that diffuse the ultrasound waves and liquefy the fat for easy removal. The sound energy is gentle enough that it can emulsify only the fat, preserving important nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues. This means minimal bruising and pain and smooth skin retraction because the body is less disrupted.
The VASER Lipo System is a third-generation internal ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty device manufactured by Sound Surgical Technologies LLC in Louisville, Colorado. VASER technology enables doctors to operate on a more artistic level by precisely targeting only fat in certain areas as opposed to general suction. Trained physicians can use the small probes to shape and contour a patient’s body, leading to more realistic results and satisfied patients. The versatility of the system allows physicians to treat small, delicate areas like the chin and neck, as well as large areas like the chest and abdomen. VASER Lipo has become a trusted method in a society saturated with fad procedures.
“The VASER system is a wonderful tool for fat reduction procedures,” said Dr. Girton, “It has brought liposuction into the 21st century and has amazing versatility for both fat removal and more advanced body sculpting techniques.”

People come in all different shapes and sizes. Every body type has areas that are predisposed to fat storage and,
even with rigorous diet and exercise, those unwanted bulges often persist. Patented VASER® technology and the advanced VASER Lipo technique now offer a safe alternative for ridding yourself of those stubborn fat deposits to provide you a smooth new shape with fast recovery.
What is VASER Lipo? Is it different than traditional liposuction?
VASER Lipo is a minimally invasive procedure that precisely and efficiently removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body. What distinguishes the VASER Lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Innovative VASER technology breaks up fat while conserving these other important tissues. Only the VASER Lipo procedure uses the proprietary VASER System to first liquefy fat and then remove it from the body to promote smooth results and rapid healing with only low to minimal pain.
What happens during VASER Lipo?
First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up fatty tissue with the VASER Lipo System’s ultrasound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal from the eye) to fragment fatty tissue on contact while leaving other important tissues largely intact. Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
Is VASER Lipo right for me?
If you are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise, VASER Lipo can provide a solution. If you are healthy and seeking a fast, low-pain solution for losing stubborn fat deposits, the Lipo procedure could be your answer. Patients who say they would have never considered liposuction are now finding the VASER Lipo procedure is a minimally invasive option for the achievement of their body reshaping goals. Although there are limits to the amount of fat that can be removed, your doctor can assist you with your decision about potential areas for contouring, anticipated results, and the recovery process.
