VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, alluding to the original device's harnessed ultrasound energy for fatty tissue emulsification.

VASER Shape MC1 is the newest piece of the body shaping puzzle from Sound Surgical. Recently approved for therapeutic massage, providing a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite, temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains, relief of muscle spasms, temporary improvement in local blood circulation, as well as ultrasonic diathermy for the relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures, the device can be used all over the body, but is not ideal for the head or neck.

VASER Shape delivers transcutaneous ultrasonic energy from two points on a Vshaped treatment tip. The two 'beams' converge beneath the skin, where the energy is concentrated. This warms the area, as well as opens pores in the fat cells causing leakage of liquid fat, for removal through the lymphatic system by the body's natural waste handling processes. Results are quite impressive. VASER Shape is ideal for those looking to reshape, not so much to lose fat. It's also an alternative for people with localized areas of adiposity who are afraid of more invasive procedures. There is no downtime to speak of and treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes. A course of approximately four weekly treatments is recommended for best results.



According to many experts, the VASER Ultrasonic Lipo System from Sound Surgical Technologies LLC (Louisville, Colo.), is arguably the gold standard for ultrasound-assisted liposuction. Based upon this success, Sound Surgical introduced two new products in early 2010: the nextgeneration VASER 2.0, offering improvements in user functionality and fat harvesting options; as well as the VASER Shape MC1, an innovative ultrasound device achieving non-invasive body shaping via cellulite reduction.
