Pioneer of Advanced 4D VASER Liposuction & QuantumRF Skin Tightening
A true innovator in energy-assisted body contouring, Dr Edwin trained directly with Dr Alfredo Hoyos, the world-renowned pioneer of VASER Hi-Definition Lipo. As a certified 4D Sculpt doctor, Dr Edwin became one of the very first practitioners in Europe to integrate Renuvion (J-Plasma) subdermal plasma technology into body sculpting frameworks.
His signature clinical approach utilises an advanced multi-energy matrix to safely fragment fat while simultaneously shrink-wrapping the overlying skin.
His dedication to these advanced techniques has established him as one of the leading VASER 4D Lipo Doctors in the UK and one of few with extensive experience in VASER Hi-Definition Liposculpture.
Dr. Anthony’s Areas of Specialisation
Dr Edwin Anthony specialises in Vaser 4D Lipo for high-definition body sculpting and lipedema reduction, using advanced ultrasound technology to target fat while preserving natural muscle contours selectively.
