Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture otherwise called Tickle Liposuction is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure that allows removal of fat safely, quickly and very efficiently.
request an appointmentHow Does Tickle Liposuction Work
After the patient is locally anesthetized using the tumescent liposuction technique, a cannula attached to a handle is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue by making a small incision in the skin. Once the cannula is introduced into the fat layer, compressed air is transmitted to the tip of the cannula creating a 10-hertz frequency, that causes the cannula to rotate and vibrate. The vibratory motion causes a tickling sensation, hence the name “Tickle Lipo”, furthermore the vibratory motion of the tip of the cannula goes through the fat layers easily, causing minimal to no pain, or bleeding.
