What is Laser Liposuction ?


LaserLipo uses lasers in conjunction with liposuction to dissolve fat before it is sucked out of the body with the liposuction tool. LaserLipo is easier on the body than traditional liposuction because smaller devices are used, and local anesthesia is given rather than sedation. This procedure is typically used for contouring touch-ups when a patient is within 25 pounds of ideal body weight. LaserLipo uses heat to accomplish the elimination of unwanted fat in two ways. First, the heat melts the fat, making it easier to remove from the body. Additionally, heat stimulates surrounding tissues to create new collagen that produces healthy tissue.

Laser Liposuction Downtime and Recovery


Since Laser Lipo treatments are non-invasive, recovery time is very fast. Many individuals experience no downtime at all. A slight amount of bleeding and inflammation may be experienced during the week following the procedure. Other side effects may occur depending on the quantity of fat removed. Activities of daily life can be resumed after a day or two. Laborious activity should be averted for a week to ten days after Laser Lipo has been done. The practitioner may prescribe a compression garment for a while during the healing process.

Alternatives to Laser Liposuction


Cool Sculpting

Cool sculpting is a procedure that freezes fat to destroy it and then eliminates it from the body. This treatment obliterates the fat without causing damage to any of the nearby tissues. Cool sculpting can be used as a stand-alone treatment or be combined with other therapies to achieve optimum results. It has few risks and involves a shorter downtime than invasive treatments.

 

Cellfina

Cellfina is a procedure that works to eliminate cellulite from the body. It is performed by inserting a microblade into the dermis and moving it back and forth to break up the fibrous bands under the skin. This will allow the dimples caused by cellulite to bounce back, and the surface skin will smooth out. Results are considered permanent.

 

Zerona

Zerona is a non-invasive treatment that is used to dissolve fat using a cool laser tool. This pain-free therapy is completed by placing the apparatus over the area where fat is removed. The fat cells are demolished and excreted through tiny holes that the device forms. Zerona can be performed in a brief office visit and has no substantial recovery time.

 

Cellulaze

Cellulaze is performed using a thin laser fiber to eliminate fat and cellulite from the body. This treatment liquefies fat cells, releases the fibrous bands that cause cellulite and initiates collagen production, leading to healthier, alluring skin. Cellulaze can target problem areas and allow for minimally invasive treatment and a quick recovery time.
