Water-Assisted Liposuction: Understanding the Science and Benefits
Key Takeaways Water-assisted liposuction (WAL) is a gentle fat removal method. It uses concentrated water jets to selectively remove fat, making it a less invasive and more comfortable option compared to traditional liposuction. As WAL delivers local anesthesia, WAL reduces trauma to the surrounding tissues. This results in less bruising, a faster recovery, and fewer complications than traditional liposuction. WAL technology uses hydrodynamic principles. It utilizes precisely directed water pressure to specifically break down fat cells and leave skin, muscle and other tissues intact. Ideal candidates for WAL are individuals with
