Tickle Lipo

Tickle Lipo is a new proprietary liposuction technology that utilizes Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture (N.I.L.) (by Euromi) while it has also been approved by the FDA. The goal of the procedure is to make liposuction safer for patients and to reduce the amount of strain the procedure puts on both the patient and the surgeon, leading to better results. Tickle Lipo is a form of power-assisted liposuction (PAL) that uses a specialized cannula in order to reduce the amount of manual manipulations the surgeon needs to make during the course of the procedure.

How Does Tickle Lipo Work?

Tickle Lipo works by using low frequency acoustic infrasonic vibration. The cannula of the appliance is the thin, hollow tube which is inserted into the body during surgery to break up the fat layer and then siphon the fatty tissue out of the body. The cannula applies no heat to the area but includes a Nutational whirling movement. The cannula also vibrates, and the combined whirling and vibrating breaks up the fat effectively. The 10Hz infrasonic vibration frequency of the cannula is supposed to interfere with the pain transmissions of local nerves in order to reduce unpleasant sensations and also reduce the need for general anesthesia. The idea is that this will help reduce the pain when the cannula is initially inserted into the body in order to dispense the local anesthetic. The product derives its name from the “tickling” sensation it is said to produce, which the company states that alleviates pain in a manner similar to how scratching can relieve an itch.

Benefits

Firstly, general anesthesia with this method is not necessary, which makes this procedure safer since it is riskier than local anesthetics. Moreover, as the device does not generate any heat (which is what happens with other procedures), this is another safety feature since too much heat may damage tissue or cause blood clots which may lead to skin necrosis. If Tickle Lipo encounters non-fatty tissue, the device is programmed to recognize the fat and shut itself off immediately. Minimal damage not only means less bleeding and trauma but also better skin retraction. In addition, the fat cells are removed permanently, while the company states that the recovery time is abbreviated since the procedure is gentler than traditional liposuction. Results should be immediately apparent, and the procedure itself takes 1-2 hours with only tiny incisions required.

Areas To Be Treated

The technology featured in Tickle Lipo enables the doctor performing the operation to remove fat accurately and safely. The body areas which are most “popular” for treatment with Tickle Lipoare the abdominal area, buttocks, hips, arms and thighs (read this article for more info).

Side Effects

The FDA approval ensures that minimal side effects might be encountered. These may include unequal contouring, skin loosening, infection or some minor reactions to the anesthesia involved. Also, the vibration of the cannula can affect the nerve fibers, bringing about a moderate “tickling” sensation.

Cost

Although the average cost is difficult to be accurately estimated, while the final expenditure depends on several variables (sizing of the treated area, volume of fatty tissue removed, chosen medical center etc.), a potential user will be charged somewhere between $2,000 and $5,000.

Tickle Lipo Reviews

The majority of the reviews are generally positive, but most users also point out that it is important for patients to recognize that, like many other proprietary names, Tickle Lipo is a brand for a type of procedure which is also offered by a number of other brands. Yet, the bottom line is that Tickle Lipo is a power-assisted liposuction technology that has achieved good results and reviews.

Our Advice

In general, Tickle Lipo is a power assisted liposuction method which is particularly efficient at excess fat removal and significantly more refined than the conventional surgical operations. Nevertheless, it is aimed mainly at recontouring your body and it does not trigger weight loss in any way. Therefore, before you ultimately decide to use Tickle Lipo, you should make sure that you read as many testimonials as possible, and always ask for references before you decide on a surgeon. Finally, apart from the technique, which is important, the safety and skill of the surgeon is just as significant.
