Vaser Smooth

Vaser Smooth is a minimally invasive treatment for reducing cellulite, targeting fat and fibrous bands beneath the skin to smooth dimpled areas often resistant to diet and exercise.

Introduction to Vaser Smooth

Vaser Smooth is an advanced treatment designed to improve skin tone, definition, and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite forms when fibrous bands beneath the skin pull downward while underlying fat pushes upwards, creating a dimpled effect. This subcutaneous fat is particularly resistant to diet and exercise, and as skin loses elasticity with age, cellulite often becomes more noticeable. Vaser Smooth targets these problem areas, offering a solution for those seeking smoother, more confident skin.

Benefits of Vaser Smooth

Choosing Vaser Smooth with Dr Grant Hamlet offers several key benefits for those seeking smoother, more confident skin.

Good Candidates

Vaser Smooth is an excellent option for men and women seeking to reduce the appearance of cellulite and achieve smoother, more even skin. If you’re an adult looking to enhance your skin tone and improve areas that haven’t responded to diet or exercise, this treatment may be well suited to you.

However, individuals with certain health conditions that affect healing may not be ideal candidates. The best way to determine your suitability is through a personalised consultation with Dr Grant Hamlet, where your goals and medical history can be carefully assessed.

Your Consultation

Your consultation is an opportunity for you and Dr Hamlet to discuss your goals and concerns in a supportive and professional environment. Dr Hamlet takes a personalised approach to every treatment, ensuring your individual needs are carefully considered before proceeding.

Before your consultation, please be prepared to share the following:

  • Any medical conditions or treatments or drug allergies.
  • Current medications, herbal supplements, vitamins, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use.
  • Previous surgeries.

During your consultation at Dr Grant Hamlet’s London clinic, the team will take the time to understand your experience with cellulite and how it affects your confidence and lifestyle. Dr Hamlet will assess the treatment areas and determine whether Vaser Smooth is right for you. You’ll also receive detailed information about the procedure, recovery timeline, and expected outcomes.

Together, you and Dr Hamlet will create a treatment plan tailored to your goals and body, helping you take the next step towards smoother, more confident skin.

The Vaser Smooth Procedure

Preparation

About three weeks before and after your procedure date, you will need to pause smoking and alcohol intake. Two weeks before the treatment you will also need to avoid taking medications that thin the blood. Not ingesting these products will help you have a positive and healthy experience.

Twelve hours before your treatment you will need to fast from everything including water. The morning of your appointment, shower but do not apply products like lotion or perfume.

We recommend you wear loose-fitting clothes that can be easily removed. You will need to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from the appointment. Make sure you have an area of your living space where you can recover peacefully and comfortably.

A Vaser Smooth procedure typically takes between 1 to 1.5 hours, and patients are able to return home the same day.

The treatment begins with a small 4mm incision. A local anaesthetic is then administered beneath the skin to numb the area. Once the area is prepared, the Vaser Smooth probe is inserted and gently moved back and forth to emulsify the superficial layer of fat and promote skin retraction. The fibrous bands responsible for the dimpled appearance of cellulite are then carefully released.

Next, Dr Grant Hamlet uses a specialised surgical instrument known as the Hamlet Sweeper, which he personally designed for the Vaser Smooth procedure. This tool allows for precise redistribution of fat beneath the skin, helping to contour and shape the treated area. This process also prevents the fibrous bands from reconnecting, reducing the chance of dimpling returning.

Vaser Smooth can be performed under either local or general anaesthetic, depending on what is most appropriate for you. This will be discussed and agreed during your consultation.

Recovery

Recovery from any procedure depends on the duration and extent of the surgery and the health of the patient. Be sure to ask Dr. Hamlet any questions regarding post-op procedures, dressings/bandages, stitches, medications, follow-up care, and when you can resume normal activities. He’ll be happy to make sure that you have all the information you need.

Vaser Smooth is a precise, minimally invasive procedure designed to target cellulite beneath the skin.

The treatment begins with a small 4mm incision. A local anaesthetic is gently introduced under the skin to numb the area and ensure your comfort. Once numb, the Vaser Smooth probe is inserted and passed carefully beneath the skin in a controlled motion. This ultrasound technology emulsifies the superficial layer of fat while encouraging the skin to contract, helping to smooth the treated area. At the same time, the fibrous bands responsible for skin dimpling are released.

To refine the results, Dr Grant Hamlet then uses the Hamlet Sweeper, a specialised surgical instrument he developed specifically for the Vaser Smooth procedure. This allows for the careful redistribution of fat beneath the skin, sculpting a more even contour while preventing the fibrous bands from reconnecting and causing dimpling to reappear.

Vaser Smooth can be performed under local or general anaesthetic, depending on your needs and preferences, this will be discussed in full during your consultation. The procedure typically takes between 1 to 1.5 hours, and patients are usually able to return home the same day.

Eating a lot of fatty foods and living a relatively inactive lifestyle will cause cellulite to develop on the legs. Fatty foods such as sausage, cheese, and many processed foods will cause you to gain weight, particularly when not working out. The body may store this excess fat in the thighs, buttocks, or arms. Where your body stores the fat will depend on your genetics. Observing your family members will show you where fat is often stored by your body. Change up your diet by eating more whole, natural foods.

Compliment this healthy eating with daily exercise and you will likely see an improvement in cellulite. Cellulite is very difficult to remove though, so you may need to consider an invasive technique like Vaser Smooth to give you long-lasting results you want!

Cellulite is caused when fat cells grow and push out against the skin. Cellulite develops more frequently in women as they age. With time, our skin becomes less elastic. Fat cells become more visible through droopy skin and cause skin irregularities and dimples. Once developed, cellulite removal is very difficult. Vaser Smooth will help restructure your skin and give you smooth results!
