Dr Ravi Jain, Medical Director at Riverbanks Clinic is urging patients to be more vigilant after it was revealed that a number of patients who believed they had paid for VASER at several clinics in the UK had in fact been given a lower value laser-based treatment.
“The most obvious clue that a VASER treatment is bogus is when the clinic asks the patient to wear protective goggles. With genuine VASER, you do not need to wear eye protection during this kind of treatment but will always be required to wear goggles for laser lipolysis,” reveals Dr Jain.
VASER has been widely regarded as a superior technology compared with laser techniques. VASER uses ultrasound energy rather than laser energy to selectively dissolve the fat cells, which allows for gentler suction techniques and provides more accurate sculpting. Vaser can be used on much larger areas of fat than laser lipolysis and as much as 2 litres can be taken in a single session.
VASER typically costs around £2000 yet some clinics are claiming to offer far less than the average market price, which is another big clue that they are actually using a cheaper laser based treatment instead.
Dr Jain is recommending that patients ask to see the VASER machine before they sign up for any treatment, check that their practitioner is registered on the VASER website and also ask to see testimonials from patients that have specifically had VASER at that clinic.
“Patients need to be able to trust that they are having the treatment they signed up for and that their chosen clinic is qualified to deliver it. It is completely unethical that some clinics are offering laser-based treatments disguised as VASER but by following these simple tips, a bogus VASER treatment will be easily identifiable,” says Dr Jain.
