Lipovisor™
is a unique device that was developed
and tested at the Centro Medico Privato “Lazzaro
Spallanzani” in Reggio Emilia (Lazzaro Spallanzani
Private Medical Centre). It allows the operator to see
fat deposits in the body immediately and realistically.
Lipovisor™ scans the area and then displays
the amount of fat deposits present, before, during
and after a liposuction or liposculpting procedure
in three-dimensional images with the use of high definition
technology.
It is well known that in cosmetic or therapuetic
treatments such as liposculpting, lipodrainage or
other similar slimming and/or shaping treatments of
the fat tissue, specialised technicians need to know
the exact quantities and distribution of such tissue
in order to know which to remove.
In similar operations it is essential to maintain
a determined amount of fat tissue in order to
shape the contours of the body, while on the other
hand an inadequate accumulation or lack of fat
caused by a negligent operator will result in
noticable waves in the skin along with aestethically
unpleasant blemishes.
In this last case it would be necessary to proceed
with a second operation in order to remove the excess
fat deposits, which would clearly cause the patient
discomfort. Even excess removal of the fat deposits
would negatively affect the patient, as it would cause
permanent lumps and dents in the skin which would
be difficult to cover up permanently.
Typically, in this type of operation, the technician
or surgeon relies solely on its own manual sensitivity,
which results in clear difficulties in determing
with absolute precision the quantity of fat to
remove, and more importantly what not to remove.
Lipovisor™ allows these inconveniences to be
avoided by precisly and reliably scanning the tissue
with fat deposits, therefore allowing the liposuction
or liposculpting procedure to be performed in a highly
precise way with a computer (HDL - High Definition
Liposuction). |
