For surgeons
WAL - Gentle waterpower
Unlike conventional liposuction procedures, during the water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL) the fat is detached and simultaneously aspirated from the tissue structure with waterpower and significantly less force, reducing the risk of side effects significantly. The fat cells stay mostly intact, unstressed and still vital.
Particularly gentle and almost pain free
Using the water-jet, hematomas and injuries to the sensitive nerves located directly beneath the skin occur far less frequently. The majority of tissue strands beneath the skin, which are important for skin tightening, remain intact.
Due to simultaneous irrigation and aspiration of the fat cells, you as a physician have direct control over the body’s contours and the amount of fluid introduced and aspirated throughout the whole operation. As a result, the adverse effects of the tumescent fluid during the procedure can be avoided.
Can be done both in local or general aneasthesia
Shorter duration of the procedure
Minimises operation risks
Easy cannula handling
No damage on the surrounding tissues
Significantly less bruising and swelling
Results visible immediately
Faster recovery and return to normal life
Fields of application
- Classic liposuction - Gentle removal of adipose tissue
- Under general anesthesia
- Under local anesthesia
- Large volume liposuction – Treatment of lipoedema (gentle removal of the excess abnormal adipose tissue)
- Treatment of gynecomastia – Gentle removal of the excess glandular and adipose tissue
- Fat-transfer procedures – Gentle removal and processing of adipose tissue suitable for autologious transfer
Why Body-jet?
Unlike conventional liposuction procedures, during the water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL) the fat is detached from the tissue structure with much less force, reducing the risk of side effects significantly. The surrounding connective tissue, as well as nerves and blood vessels, remain much less traumatised.
As to the pre-infiltration, the WAL method also clearly differs from common liposuction procedures. In conventional procedures, the subcutaneous adipose tissue is filled with a large volume of tumescent fluid in order to prepare the operation. As a result, the body contours become blurred; the body looks swollen. This is not the case with the water-jet assisted liposuction. In this procedure, far less tumescent fluid (approx. 70% less) is introduced into the body before operation.
Phase 1:
Preparation for extraction
Phase 2:
Suction (harvesting) of the fat
Before liposuction, a so-called tumescent solution is injected into the operated area. When using the body-jet device, up to 70% less tumescent fluid is needed for this step than for conventional liposuction. In addition, compared to other types of liposuction, there is no need to wait for the action of the solution and the liposuction can be immediately switched to liposuction under general or local anaesthesia. The result is therefore visible almost immediately after the procedure, as no excess fluid remains in the body.
A pulsating water jet gently disrupts the fatty tissue. Due to the force of the water, it easily penetrates even the hardest layer, eliminating the need for aggressive movements of the surgical cannula. During the procedure, the tumescent solution is simultaneously injected and the fat cells are suctioned out. This makes the method more gentle and less bruising occurs. After liposuction, the result is immediately visible, with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues.
