Most of us who know our brands see them everywhere! Whether they are in our fashion and beauty magazines, cars and even the bottled water we drink!  Yes, there is no denying that brand names make us feel good about ourselves; they help to influence our decision on buying.<\/p>\n<p>Brand recognition has also made its way into the Plastic Surgery industry, especially in the area of <a href=\"\/body-procedures-pittsburgh\/liposuction\/\">Liposuction<\/a>. Pittsburghpatients may wonder how the \u201cbranding\u201d of liposuction technology really deliver improved safety and effectiveness?  It is true of any medical procedure that the better the technology is, the safer and more efficient the procedure becomes for both patient and surgeon.  Of course the surgeon\u2019s skills are another factor in safety and effectiveness, and you would always want to choose a fully-experienced plastic surgeon that is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.<\/p>\n<h3>Liposuction Names You\u2019ve Heard<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>VASER\u00ae LipoSelection\u00ae uses an ultrasound probe to      break up fat cells for easier fat removal.<\/li>\n<li>Prolipo Plus \u2122 is a minimally invasive, ultra-high      powered laser system that melts unwanted fat and coagulates tissue, for a      smoother, tighter, and more attractive body contour.  Benefits include minimal downtime,      bruising and discomfort, as well as a fast treatment time.<\/li>\n<li>Cynosure Smartlipo\u2122 uses laser energy to break up fat      cells. It has the added benefit of reducing bleeding and bruising for      faster recovery and can aid in the tightening of skin after liposuction,      for a smoother look.<\/li>\n<li>Palomar SlimLipo\u2122 also uses laser energy and suggests      benefits similar to those of the Smartlipo procedure.<\/li>\n<li>CoolTouch\u00ae CoolLipo\u2122 is also a method of      laser-assisted liposuction.<\/li>\n<li>Zeltiq \u2122 uses the method called Cryolipolysis \u2122 to      cool and remove excess fat.       The technology targets only fat cells, so skin and other tissue      remains completely unharmed.       This procedure is non-invasive and non-surgical.<\/li>\n<li>ZERONA \u2122 uses low level laser energy.  Fat cells are liquefied and your      body gradually absorbs and removes the treated fat through its natural cleansing      process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Brian Vassar Heil, MD FACS has carefully selected the PRO-LIPO\u2122 laser lipolysis system for his AAAASF Surgery Center.  The ProLipo\u2122 Nd:YAD laser has both 1064 nm and 1319 nm Nd:YAG source filters. This combination of wavelengths is desirable for blending different types of lipolysis. For example, the 1064 nm wavelength improves skin tone, acts on collagen fibers, concentrates on blood vessels and fat cells, and heats the skin more slowly. The 1319 nm wavelength targets water in the dermal collagen and melts the fat by bursting the cells, making fat extraction easier and also promoting skin tightening, while heating the skin more quickly. Used together, these wavelengths can both increase successful outcomes and patient throughput.<\/p>\n<p>Doctor Heil has found ProLipo\u2122  truly lives up to its claims of limited recovery time and exceptional results.  However, no matter the hyped brand names, there are the tried and true technologies that he will continue to use in his practice. Among those include Ultrasonic Liposuction and Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL), procedures providing optimal safety and effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the explosion in medical aesthetic technology and the use of \u201cbranding\u201d has resulted in literally a flooding of new products, procedures and devices, all claiming to be the latest and greatest.  Doctor Heil takes pride in his dedication and caution in sorting out the so called, \u201chype\u201d to provide his patient\u2019s with safe and effective <a href=\"\/body-procedures-pittsburgh\/liposuction\/\">liposuction<\/a>. Pittsburghresidents are lucky his methods of treatment are based on quality and his own experience-based conclusions, NOT marketing and advertising hype. In doing this, he can provide a positive, powerful and lasting impact on his patient\u2019s life.  Better names do not necessarily mean better results.  This at least is true in the aesthetic world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As women, no one can deny the power of brand name recognition.
