Dear Dr. Man, My tennis partner told me got something called Tickle Lipo. Did I misunderstand her? Sounds strange. What is it? All I know is that she looks great.
A. You heard correctly. Named for its slight “tickling” sensation, Tickle Lipo uses a specially designed cannula that produces a unique vibration referred to as “nutational motion.” This is what produces the sensation many patients report as a “tickling” sensation.
Tickle Lipo differs from other methods of tumescent liposuction because the cannula is activated by air pressure, causing a whirling movement, infrasound and gentle vibrations referred to as “nutational” motion. This patented technique provides faster infiltration of the tumescent solution – 25 percent faster than other liposuction technology, shortening the length of the procedure.
According to a plastic surgeon in NJ, a selection of specialized cannulas used in the Tickle Lipo technique allows the physician to better maneuver through fibrous or harder to reach areas of fat, enabling precise body contouring. The ease of maneuvering of the special cannula allows for high definition body sculpting. It is more effective and safer, removing deeper fat, as well as superficial fat lying just under the skin with ease.
The benefits of liposuction are as follows:
- Local anesthesia – Patients can be awake because general anesthesia is not needed.
- No heat damage – less bruising. Unlike other liposuction techniques that utilize the heat of laser or ultrasound energy, the surgical cannula used in Tickle Lipo stays cool, eliminating the risk of heat injury to tissue.
- More precise/better results – Because of its ease of movement, Tickle Lipo is more precise. It can be used to safely and more effectively remove deeper fat pockets, as well as superficial fat, providing “high-definition” sculpting like EmSculpt Neo in Ventura, CA.
- Cuts down on surgical time. Faster results – because there is less bruising and swelling, patients see results almost immediately.
- Less downtime – patients recover faster.
- Fat harvesting – The physician like the ones at Liposuction sydney can also harvest the patient’s own fat, which is removed during liposuction, for use as a long lasting natural facial filler, instead of using synthetic injectables.
