Laser Lypolysis is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to eliminate unwanted fat. When diet and exercise fail to work on problem areas, laser lipolysis safely removes fat tissue and tightens skin, giving skin a smoother and flatter appearance.
It's a fast and easy alternative to traditional liposuction that offers a shorter recovery time and less discomfort.
After the treatment area is numbed and filled with an anesthetic solution, your doctor would insert a flexible tube or cannula through a tiny incision. The small laser fiber is inserted into the treatment area and moved through the fat tissue, which breaks down into an oily paste. A low power suction tool then removes the fat, while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues. The laser also tightens the collagen in the treated area, eliminating sagging skin.
Results from Laser Lipolysis are extremely good. Incisions are tiny and do not leave scars, and the low suction extraction method results in less damage to surrounding tissues. This means less discomfort after the procedure and a faster return to normal activity. While some bruising and localized swelling is normal, it is considerably less than traditional liposuction. Most patients return to normal activity on the same day as the procedure and can return to more strenuous pursuits in 7 to 10 days. Full results of the procedure may take months because of localized tissue repair and continued natural absorption of fat.
Reduced recovery time: After a short rest, you can resume normal activity.
Reduced discomfort: The procedure itself is not painful, and because internal tissue damage and bruising is less than traditional liposuction, recovery discomfort is minimal.
No scarring: The incision is tiny and easily concealed in natural crease lines.
Skin tightening: The laser's interaction with skin collagen may leave the treated area tighter than before. After 3 months, results begin to be apparent.
