What is PURE Contouring

P – Power Assisted Liposuction using MicroAire

MicroAire is a power-assisted liposuction (PAL) technique devised to reduce the physical challenges posed by traditional liposuction. For any area in which contouring is to be done, whether it is abdomen, buttocks, thighs or arms, there is an excess amount of fat mostly, that needs to be sucked out. The procedure is initiated by tumescent fluid infiltration which can be done using syringes or infiltration pump. At RG Aesthetics, we have improvised further and this first step is achieved by combining power-assisted device MicroAire with a pressure infiltration pump connected through it. The surgical instrument used for MicroAire is fitted with a power-assisted cannula that produces an extremely gentle back and forth movement, which helps it to pass through the toughened fibrous tissues of fat with ease creating different spaces and multiple planes between the fat layers. This enables a very smooth distribution of the tumescent fluid across the fat layers in different planes making the surgery easier also minimizing blood loss and pain.

After fat emulsification (detailed below) the next step in the procedure is suctioning out the emulsified fat which can be done manually or using power assisted devices. RG Aesthetics uses MicroAire again for this step. It offers a great precision to the procedure while reducing the amount of effort required to probe in. This power assisted device is attached to a suction apparatus which generates negative pressure to suck out the emulsified fat. One of the imperative benefits of this technique is that the adjacent tissues subjected to liposuction are not torn apart and hence recovery is faster and better. MicroAire is undeniably an important element of PURE as it comes with added benefits.

U – Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction using Vaser

After tumescent infiltration, the next step in the procedure is fat emulsification which can be done by multiple methods described in previous chapters (manual, power assisted, ultrasound assisted, laser assisted etc). At RG Aesthetics, this imperative step is accomplished usingultrasound-assisted liposuction (VASER). Vaser emulsifies the fat layer only, without hitting the nerves or vessels. The ultrasound rays selectively target the fat cells, so that the fat gets emulsified. Along with that, Vaser also helps in skin shrinkage and tightening. Vaser generates lots of heat and if performed by an untrained or inexperienced surgeon, may cause skin burns. This is because in Vaser device, there is no self regulated temperature control and it depends on the expertise of the performing surgeon who knows when to withdraw the device at a particular area.

Since the surgeons at RG Aesthetics combine technologies, they make sure that Vaser is used only for a specific amount of time to achieve both fat emulsification and skin tightening. Further fat breakdown and simultaneous suction is performed using the MicroAire device. The most dreaded complication associated with Vaser is skin burns which is probably because surgeons using Vaser alone tend to use it for a longer period for better fat emulsification. This is safely avoided at RG Aesthetics by combining MicroAire with Vaser.

MicroAire and Vaser liposuction techniques combined together work perfectly well for sculpting the body areas like the abdomen, arms, leg, waist, neck, knees, buttocks, thighs, side handles, ankles, calves and male breasts. With the combination of these technologies, the trauma to the tissues, nerves and vessels is reduced significantly. This minimizes the pain and, also the swelling and bruising after the procedure is considerably less.

RE – Radiofrequency Enhanced Contouring using Thermi/BodyTite

After the Liposuction procedure, surgeons perform RF enhanced contouring for skin tightening. Radio Frequency or RF energy is well researched and proven successful for aesthetic treatments. RG Aesthetics uses BodyTite, an advanced technology product of ThermiGen, for skin tightening and smoothening procedures. ThermiBodyTite is a radio frequency-based skin-tightening device. BodyTite is an extremely sophisticated technological device that emits continuous waves of heat generated by radio frequency that helps to stimulate the collagen production. BodyTite ensures continuous emission of heat and the intelligent software used in the background ensures a regulated flow as per the monitoring surgeon. This advanced method of contouring where a small electrode heats skin tissue to a clinician-selected temperature helps to tighten the skin, reduce the wrinkles considerably and enhance the overall appearance of the skin in various areas such as the neck, arms, breasts, abdomen, thighs and knees. The results are primarily attained by the remodelling of subcutaneous tissue.
