Hello Interloper!

We asked UK VASER Lipo trainer, Dr. Ravi Jain for his thoughts on Tickle Lipo® as a competitor to VASER which was proved to produce superior results to standard suction-assisted liposuction*.
“Tickle Lipo is not a new phenomenon but is a new marketing brand! Nutational Liposuction is a relatively old technology and has been around for a long time. I certainly doubt that 3 out of 4 patients will be laughing throughout a decent procedure unless one gives them laughing gas! Vibration-assisted infiltration is an interesting concept and may well reduce discomfort during infiltration, but so will slower infiltration rates and more care when infiltrating. The liposuction part of this procedure is suction-assisted liposuction, so nothing new there. I think it’s just a company which wants to push their product with a new marketing concept. I still believe VASER offers patients the safest and most effective treatments.”

With so many options available for the reduction of fatty tissue, from non-invasive ultrasound devices such as Ultrashape™ and Liposonix™, invasive systems such as laser lipolysis with Smartlipo™, ultrasound-assisted liposuction with VASER® or radio-frequency assisted liposuction with Bodytite™, and on to more traditional tumescent liposuction procedures, it’s difficult for the consumer and the practitioner to evaluate the best methods to employ. The only way this can be done is with further clinical trials and comparative work.
