What Are The Advantages Of Vaser Liposuction?
You might have heard about liposuction, but did you realise there are different types? One of the latest types of liposuction procedure is Vaser liposuction,
Hans Place Practice was one of the first clinics in the UK to use INTRAcel for non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation, since then countless patients have been thrilled with the great results it has achieved. In 2015, ULTRAcel was launched.
A state-of-the-art update of INTRAcel, offering patients an even more efficient way to non surgically tighten the tissue of the face and neck. ULTRAcel uses handheld devices that supply grid radio frequency and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
Together, these target not only the skin but also the deeper facial and neck soft tissue structures, allowing more facial lifting and neck tightening than with the INTRAcel alone.
In 2019 the latest generation Ultracel device was released. Extending under the skin from the neck up into the face is a tissue plane known as the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). As we age, the SMAS becomes less elastic as the collagen and elastin fibres in our skin break down – it’s this that leads to wrinkles, neck folds and sagging jowls.
Modern surgical facelifts lift and tighten the SMAS, resulting in a more natural look than the pulled, ‘operated on’ appearance of facelifts from yesteryear. For those who want a facelift or neck lift without surgery, then ULTRAcel is the ideal non-invasive surgical solution. Read our patient testimonials on Trustpilot here
ULTRAcel is a non-surgical treatment for tightening, smoothing, firming and lifting skin and deeper tissues reducing the appearance of ageing without the down time associated with laser resurfacing or surgical facelift.
It combines High Intensity Focused ultrasound ( HIFU) and radio frequency technology, all in one simple procedure.
It’s a very targeted treatment so the skin and deeper tissues (SMAS) are affected. The body’s natural healing process produces a new, healthy and tighter appearence of the face and neck.

n/aShould Consider
face-lift if more then moderate facial saggingGenerally the skin will begin to feel and look smoother and tighter even after one treatment, the results from the treatment will continue to improve for up to six months.. The results are variable, depending on the original quality of the skin, deeper tissues and degree of damage to be treated.
The number of treatments required will depend on the area being treated and the quality of the skin. For lower face, brow and neck tightening / lifting we usually recommend a complimentary ‘top up’ second session 3-4 months after your treatment. For acne scars, wrinkle and pore reduction using INTRAcel 2-4 treatments are recommended. Dr Comins will be able to discuss this with you during your consultation.
For skin tightening and lifting no anaesthetic is usually required (although we can provide pain relief and mild sedatives if needed).
The levels of treatment can be adjusted to suit patient comfort. If you are worried about discomfort or feel nervous about the treatment you can discuss these concerns with Dr Comins who will suggest the appropriate response.
Yes, the treatment is safe but it must be carried out by a trained and experienced health care professional to ensure that different areas are treated at the correct levels. As with any treatment it is important to discuss any possible side effects with Dr Comins in your consultation.
You may experience a deep mild sunburnt sensation for a few days after treatment, then virtually no discomfort.
The skin can be red for a few hours; this usually resolves within 24 hours, this is a normal sign that the skin is healing deeply. Swelling is minimal particularly under the eyes (if treated) and resolves in 1-2 days. Sometimes a small bruise can occur.
Other possible side effects will be discussed in your consultation with Dr Comins.
The use of a high factor sunscreen (30+) following the treatment is very important to protect the skin during the healing phase and for several weeks following treatment.
Aloe Vera gel and cold compresses can be applied following treatment if required.
All your aftercare needs will be discussed by Dr Comins in the consultation process and he is on hand after the treatment to answer your questions.
