VASER Liposuction
VASER Lipo uses ultrasound technology which targets only fat preserving other structures like blood vessels and nerves. It is known to have minimal side effects with regards to bruising, scarring and irregular results. VESSAR results in quicker healing with limited recovery time as the procedure is usually done under local anaesthesia. Unlike conventional liposuction, VASER stimulates skin collagen causing tightening of the skin. VASER Lipo is suited for patients who are in good general health. It is not suitable for patients with diabetes, weakened immune systems, heart or lung disease, or a history of blood clots. VASER is not a weight loss procedure and is best suited for treating specific areas that do not respond to changes in diet and exercise. Medical researchers have reported a number of advantages VASER provides in comparison with traditional suction-assisted liposuction and earlier generations of ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
What is VASER Liposuction Treatment?

Hair Removal with IPL/Laser
Lasers and IPL (intense pulsed light) devices, (which are not technically lasers but work on a similar principal), can be used for hair reduction and skin treatments such as removing spider veins, improving skin tone and to remove tattoos. Permanent hair reduction involves the use of either a single wavelength of light (laser) or a flash of light containing hundreds of wavelengths (IPL or broadband light BBL).
Melanin within the hair follicles is targeted, heating and damaging the follicles in an active growth cycle. Only hairs that have colour can be treated, so white and grey hairs won't respond. Success of the vesar treatment depends on your colouring, with laser generally working best on fair skin and dark hair. Fairer skin and red hair will respond to a lesser degree and those with darker skin can be treated, but only with a great deal of care. All the experts CHOICE spoke to agree that laser or IPL treatment, in the hands of an experienced and trained operator can be very effective. Melbourne dermatologist Dr Philip Bekhor says it's the best way to remove unwanted hair, as long as you're a "suitable candidate".
Wrinkle Relaxation
This anti-wrinkle treatment has become increasingly popular and is now one of the most common non surgical cosmetic procedures done in the UK. Mild to moderate wrinkles of the face can be relaxed using this non-surgical treatment. Some even use it to prevent wrinkle formation. It is proven to be safe and is licensed for frown lines. Other treated areas include crow feet (smile lines), forehead, lines around the mouth and bunny lines.
How does Wrinkle Relaxation work?
Botulinum toxin commercially known as BOTOX is derived from a bacteria (Clostridium botulinum). It was first used by ophthalmologists more than 40 years ago. Once injected into muscle causes local weakening by temporary blocking of nerve ending transmission to muscle fibres.
Am I suitable for Wrinkle Relation?
It is usually used to treat mild to moderate wrinkles in people aged 18-65 with no muscular or nerve disorders. Breast feeding or pregnancy is contraindicated.
How is the treatment done?
The area to be treated is examined and then a tiny dose is injected to the muscles causing wrinkles using a very fine needle. The procedure is done without local anaesthesia as discomfort is minimal and lasts about 10 minutes. However, anaesthetic cream is available for those who prefer this.
What should I expect after treatment?
There is no downtime and you should start to see improvement in the treated wrinkles by day 4-7. Results depend on the severity of the treated wrinkle and usually last for 4-6 months after which the effects of treatment start to wear off and the wrinkles start to reappear again, when retreatment may be needed.
