CHP Saint-Grégoire (Saint Gregory Private Hospital), the first Breton hospital in France specializing in Surgery, was established in 2004 when three medical facilities -- Saint Vincent Clinic, Volney Polyclinic, Bréquigny Maternity -- merged into a single site.
What is Vaser Liposelection?
Vaser Liposelection (Vaser Lipo) is a body sculpting procedure that uses ultrasound waves to break up fat cells and remove unwanted fat from the body.
Vaser liposelection targets areas of fat in the body, leaving other tissues intact, and makes the muscles appear more defined.
How is the Vaser Liposelection procedure carried out?
The area to be treated is injected with a saline solution and thin probes are inserted through tiny incisions.
The probes transmit ultrasound energy to break up and liquefy fat cells.
The liquefied fat is removed from the body with gentle suction.
When are the results seen from Vaser Liposelection?
You will see results immediately after the vaser liposelection procedure, and final results will be seen after 3 or 4 months.
