LIPOSUCTION/FAT TRANSFER
The result is a more sleek, athletic, sculpted, and toned body shape.
LIPO-VIBE Liposuction: Revolutionizing Body Contouring
Struggling with stubborn fat pockets? At Natural Radiance Aesthetic & Wellness in Scottsdale, Arizona, triple board-certified Scott Edwards, MD, and his highly trained staff offer the most advanced forms of liposuction to help you obtain a naturally improved and sculpted appearance. One of the most unique and cutting-edge advances in this field is LIPO-VIBE Liposuction.
What is LIPO-VIBE liposuction?
LIPO-VIBE liposuction is a minimally invasive fat removal and body contouring procedure. It is designed to remove stubborn fat effectively that is resistant to diet and exercise—with minimal downtime to the patient. LIPO-VIBE uses ultrasonic vibration and suction to gently remove unwanted fat, with some patients opting for fat transfer to other areas of the body.

How is LIBO-VIBE Liposuction different from other forms of Liposuction?
Although many liposuction techniques exist over the years and can help trim your waist and improve your abdomen, a comparison will help you understand the benefits of each procedure and which one will more effectively improve your appearance and your safety.
Safety
The classic form of liposuction is often referred to as Suction-Assisted Liposuction or SAL. This technique is the basis of all methods today and is still practiced today. SAL requires a surgeon to continually move their wrist back-and-forth until the desired amount of fat is removed. The repetitive movements to dislodge and remove fat cells is not gentle and can be traumatic to the tissues resulting in a lengthy recovery period and irregularities to occur under the skin once healing is complete. Often, patients are placed under general anesthesia and further surgery is needed to tighten resulting loosely hanging skin. More anesthesia and more surgery carry more risk of complications.
Heat-assisted liposuction techniques, like those used by Vaser and SmartLipo systems, while touted as fast and minimally invasive, can result in severe complications. Potential risks of heat-assisted liposuction can range from the cosmetic: dimpling, discoloration, scarring, or sagging skin, to the health-compromising: infection, inflammation, and even skin necrosis. The laser can result in burns, and pain from the procedure can last for months.
LIPO-VIBE liposuction targets unwanted fat cells using the power of vibration, while leaving the surrounding blood vessels, nerve tissues, and connective tissues intact and unharmed. This results in less bruising and scarring and injury to important structures. Heat-generating liposuction machines such as SmartLipo machines or Vaser liposuction can cause unsightly scarring and dimpling.
LIPO-VIBE liposuction machine used at Natural Radiance utilizes a High Definition (HD) Liposuction technique, which is better for both patients and doctors. HD Liposuction also allows for more versatile patient selection. Unlike most liposuction systems on the market, the safety and ease of the LIPO-VIBE liposuction equipment means there is no upper Body Mass Index (BMI) limit. This is because the FDA acknowledges the gentle nature in which LIPO-VIBE removes fat. The risks of heat- assisted liposuction such as Vaser and SmartLipo increase substantially at BMIs over 28. Heat-generating techniques also can cause discoloration on certain skin types. The vibration used by the LIPO-VIBE liposuction system is ideal for all skin types because it replaces heat and eliminates the risk of discoloration.
More About Lipsuction

When removing fat, most liposuction techniques destroy the soft-tissue scaffolding that secures the fat in place. By doing so, skin sags because it is left with no internal support. Several techniques claim to tighten the skin after removing the fat, thus minimizing the sagging effects of liposuction. SmartLipo and Vaser liposuction rely on generating heat to burn tissues and cause scarring to hold skin up. We believe this is an overly risky, uncontrolled, and needless strategy to achieve this goal. LIPO- VIBE liposuction removes fat but leaves the soft-tissue structure intact. This mimics the body’s natural way of removing fat stores metabolically. Once the fat is removed, the soft-tissue collagen scaffolding remains in place, supports the skin, and prevents it from sagging. LIPO-VIBE liposuction, unlike all other methods of liposuction, does not need to “fix” the sagging skin because it does not cause it to begin with!
LIPO-VIBE is more comfortable for the patient during the procedure, without requiring IV sedation. It is 40% faster and more precise than other kinds of liposuction equipment, allowing the doctor to focus on results without getting fatigued. LIPO-VIBE liposuction boasts a re-treatment rate of just 0.1%, far lower than the 30% retreatment rate of Vaser Lipo or the 40% rate of SmartLipo.
Uncontrolled trauma and scarring can compromise outcomes. The LIPO-VIBE sculpting procedure targets unwanted fat cells using the power of vibration, while leaving the surrounding blood vessels, nerve tissues, and connective tissues intact and unharmed. This results in less bruising and scarring and injury to important structures. Heat-generating liposuction machines such as SmartLipo or Vaser liposuction not only unavoidably cause scarring by traumatizing the surrounding tissues when fat is removed which is inherent in those techniques, they also intentionally cause more scarring by burning the tissue to correct the problem. This needless trauma causes unsightly scarring and dimpling.
LIPO-VIBE liposuction is precise and has the ability to contour curves and lines in desirable places, called “etching.” Abdominal etching is creating a “six pack” over your belly. If you have always wanted that six- pack but cannot seem to do it with sit ups, LIPO-VIBE is your answer!
LIPO-VIBE Liposuction boasts a 99.9% customer satisfaction rate! Vaser Lipo has a 70% customer satisfaction rate, while SmartLipo results in a customer satisfaction rate of just 60%. In general, LIBO-VIBE is gentle and involves fewer risks, more predictable outcomes, better comfort and overall satisfaction than other liposuction options. But as with any cosmetic procedure, you should be sure to find a qualified surgeon you can trust, like triple board-certified Dr. Scott Edwards at Natural Radiance Aesthetic & Wellness.

What are the benefits of LIPO-VIBE liposuction?
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks, and you should be sure to find a qualified surgeon you trust to perform the procedure. However, LIPO-VIBE is gentle and involves fewer risks than traditional liposuction surgery. Some other benefits of LIPO-VIBE are:
- Less risk of scarring and bruising.
- No risks of heat injury or burns to the patient.
- Less risk of skin laxity or unnatural bumps and lumps after treatment.
- Suitability for patients with a higher BMI.
- No general anesthetic, only local anesthesia with minimal sedation.
- Minimal downtime—patients can walk and move immediately following the procedure.
- Smaller gauge cannulas with vibration technology allow for a more comfortable procedure for the patient.
- Abdominal etching is possible to provide a natural-looking six-pack
- Offers safe fat transfer to augment other parts of the body, such as the beasts or buttocks. Because the fat is autologous, (from your own body) there is little to no risk of an allergic reaction.
- Results are seen immediately after the procedure.
Is LIPO-VIBE liposuction right for me?
If you have stubborn fat pockets despite eating healthily and exercising, LIPO-VIBE liposuction may be for you. You must be in good health and a non-smoker, without a history of bleeding conditions. While Fun LIPO- VIBE liposuction can reduce fat cells permanently, it is not considered at weight loss treatment. Rather, LIPO-VIBE contours your body for a more sleek, elegant look, giving you more self-confidence.
Target areas that particularly have been challenging for clients include removing stubborn fat from:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Back, upper (Bra fat) and lower
- Buttocks
- Chest
- Chin
- Hips
- Neck
- Thighs
- Waistline
Triple-board certified, Scott Edwards, MD, at Natural Radiance has extensive training with LIPO-VIBE liposuction and offers superior results.
What should I expect during LIPO-VIBE liposuction?
After a final consultation to answer any final questions, photos will be taken and you will be custom-outlined with a marker depending on your goals. At this point, you will receive medications to help you relax. Your treated areas will be injected with an anesthetic fluid that will numb the area and swell the fat cells making them more easy to remove. An thin wand is inserted under your skin through tiny incisions. The wand vibrates at ultrasonic speed to shake fat cells loose, like shaking ripped fruit from a tree. The loose fat cells are vacuumed out gently. The procedure is usually painless but you might feel the vibrations tickle parts of your body at times. The length of time each session lasts depends on the size of the treatment areas.
What happens after the procedure?
After you undergo LIPO-VIBE liposuction at Natural Radiance Med Spa, you can head home the same day. Have a friend or family member drive you there, however. You can expect some swelling and bruising at the sites of treatment. Drink plenty of fluids, change the dressings over the incisions as you are expected to drain fluid for a day or so, and wear compression garments as directed to minimize swelling. It is good to stay active, and walk often. We do not recommend heavy exercise for two weeks.
Also, lymphatic massages with our certified manual lymphatic specialist will help smooth out bumps and fluid collections. We also highly recommend opting for our special recovery program, LIPO-VIBE Platinum Package, complete with custom IV treatments, healing peptides, and red light therapy to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen, and significantly accelerate your recovery.
Over time (about 3-6 months), as treated tissues heal, you can expect slimmer contours, a younger-looking appearance, and reductions in body fat. The results are permanent, as long as you maintain healthy habits.

Testimonials
Can’t say enough great things about this med spa! They are absolute professionals and are well trained and versed in many areas! It’s so nice not having to go to multiple med spa’s anymore, I’m so happy I gave them a try. Highly recommend! So much easier now going to one place for everything I need.
I had a glorious facial with Sage! Her facial massage was the best that I have ever received. I have very sensitive skin and typically leave much more red than when I arrived. For the first time in several months my skin was balanced, calm, clear and so soft. She was very professional, addressed any concerns that I had and gave me an amazing hour of self care.
My experience here at Natural Radiance Med Spa & Wellness was truly amazing! Natalie is such a sweet soul and is so involved with each of her clients. Natalie is an excellent provider when it comes to laser hair removal! She talked me through the entire process and made sure I was ok after my treatment.
I had a wonderful experience a few weeks ago for a much needed hydrating IV! Jillian was my nurse and did a fantastic job! She helped me choose the right IV for the day and was knowledgeable about all the options. During the process the chairs were extra comfy and it was such a treat to sit under the lights and take a nice little rest for the afternoon.
I came to Natural Radiance medspa to get my eyebrows Nano bladed by Kellee Klinock. The facility is absolutely beautiful and professionally done. I’m a guy, and I was very particular about my desired results wanting them to be natural and hyper realistic. Kellee listened to what I was wanting and helped me visualize what would best suit my face and look as natural as possible.
