Since the days of the Greek and Roman empires, history has shown that humanity tends to idolize the men and women who have those perfectly sculpted bodies that we see in statues, books, and movies. Nowadays, that ideal body is possible for anyone with a little help from a procedure that can deliver that badly desired six-pack in no time.

Most Sacramentans live a hectic life with little-to-no time for a prolonged recovery after a procedure. Even though there are a variety of body contouring procedures out there, only a few select treatments can help you enjoy a six-pack right away in a safe, secure, and proven way.

According to recent research on the cosmetic procedure market, six-pack surgery has become widespread because of its fast results, natural-looking changes, level of safety with which it can remove unwanted fat from the abdominal area.

Among the types of procedures available are the AirSculpt® 48-Hour Six Pack™ and Vaser Lipo - also known as Ultrasound-assisted liposuction. Continue reading to find out the differences between them for you to explore and see which might fit you best. 

What is AirSculpt®?

When you choose AirSculpt® as your method to attain those perfect abs, you need to know that this is not just a traditional fat removal treatment, but rather a minimally invasive body sculpting technique. 

The AirSculpt® process uses a pen that releases a pressured puff of air rather than using a scalpel — which means we don't require stitches or leave you with prominent, everlasting scars. With our patented technology, we can also remove and collect your unwanted fat cell by cell. 

That fat that's hiding your abs, waist, and obliques will all be removed through our artistic and meticulous process to reveal the muscle tone underneath and achieve that six-pack look you've always wanted.

Is AirSculpt® Safe?

Among the procedures out there, AirSculpt® offers the most natural-looking results with the best luxury, five-star experience. Some people consider Vaser Lipo to get that perfect looking six-pack, and even though this procedure might give you an attractive abdomen, the side effects and significantly higher risks may outweigh the benefits.

Vaser Lipo is considered best for those who are in their ideal weight and have almost perfect skin quality, but it has specific side effects that may affect how your skin looks. This cosmetic surgery is minimally invasive, yet still comes with risks such as scarring, loss of skin, abdominal holes, and nerve damage. There's also a risk of infection, as is the case with any surgery.

Vaser is a relatively intense procedure that uses ultrasound waves to pop your fat cells, requiring follow-up consultations after surgery to ensure everything went well. Although ultrasound-assisted liposuction, or UAL, may sound like an advanced technique, it is still quite risky and abrasive to the body.

AirSculpt®, conversely, only requires a short to almost nonexistent recovery time. In less than 48 hours, you can be back on your feet, walking your way through the streets of downtown Sacramento. Vaser Lipo requires a longer recovery because of the risk of fluid accumulation or poor wound healing.
