How does AQUALIPO ® compare
to traditional liposuction?

Most people have seen video of old-fashioned liposuction techniques...  The aggressive, violent movement of the cannula as it attacks body fat.  The high-powered suction to purge the fat.  The patients laid-up for weeks with swollen, bruised and sore bodies.  But now, with the advent of AQUALIPO ®, patients are getting better results, with less discomfort and vastly smoother recoveries.   

AQUALIPO ®… It’s not your Mother's liposuction

By using an innovative liposuction technique, AQUALIPO ® is better able to meet patient needs in every area as compared to traditional liposuction.   AQUALIPO ® is minimally invasive, with no need for general anesthesia and less risk of complications.  AQUALIPO ® promotes better skin tightening for more sculpted, long-lasting results, while minimizing bleeding, bruising and swelling.  AQUALIPO ® patients don’t have to endure weeks of downtime.  In fact, most patients can drive themselves home, or even back to work, immediately following their procedure.
