Laser Lipo is a procedure that allows for the removal of fat cells in localized areas by way of laser-generated heat. Laser-assisted liposuction is growing in popularity due to the many uses of lasers have in the medical world and their potential to be highly effective tools.Laser Lipo is one option for patients seeking a wider range of medical options for the removal of body fat. Heat from the laser causes the fat to soften, resulting in smoother and flatter surfaces. The body’s immune system gradually removes the liquefied fat from the treated area.
Which areas is Laser Lipo useful for?
Areas in which Laser Lipo can offer successful fat removal are:
*Face (including chin and cheek areas)
*Neck (such as with double chins)
*Back side of arms
*Abdomen
*Back
*Both the inner and outer areas of thighs
*Hips
*Buttocks
*Knees
*Ankles
If there is a specific area of fat that you are interested in having removed, speak with a physician to find out if treating that area is safe.
Is the Fat Removal Permanent?
The particular fat cells removed will not recur, but the body can always regenerate fat if a proper diet and exercise routine are not implemented. To maintain a healthy weight and appearance, a regular fitness routine combined with a healthy diet are crucial, general weight gain is obviously still possible even after treatment.
Laser Lipo helps to remove fat in areas that are difficult to reach through diet and exercise. This means that the fat removed may or may not recur depending on the patient’s lifestyle and maintenance of their body shape.
When can I return to normal activity?
Most patients can get right back to their everyday activities relatively quickly within a few days to a week. Each patient is unique and recovery times will obviously vary from person to person. Strenuous physical activity is to be avoided for 1-2 weeks, and perhaps longer depending on the area to be treated and the patient’s responses to the treatment. Many patients find that recovery is rather simple with mild, if any, side effects from the treatment.
When do I see the results?
Depending on the treatment area and how the treatment was performed, patients may see results right away. If performed in conjunction with liposuction, swelling may make results less visible right away. As weeks go by, the body begins to absorb the broken down fat cells and the area becomes flatter and tighter with time. Results typically show quicker in areas of the body that generally had fewer fat cells to begin with, such as areas treated on the face. Results will vary from person to person and can take up to several months to be fully evident.
How many sessions do I need?
One session is generally all a patient needs to see a satisfactory result. The patient and the physician can discuss if another treatment is necessary after the initial treatment areas has has time to heal. Every patient’s situation is different.
Can Laser Lipo be used with Liposuction?
Laser Lipo is generally used in conjunction with liposuction if the areas to be treated warrant combining the procedures. A physician may recommend combining to two treatments when necessary to help ensure greater patient satisfaction. Understanding the risk related to each procedure is important, as they are not performed in exactly the same way yet are both considered invasive procedures.
What are advantages of Laser Lipo over other procedures?
Laser Lipo is minimally invasive, requires no general anesthesia, allows for patients to get back to everyday activities relatively quickly, and is generally used as a tool to ensure patient satisfaction in conjunction with general liposuction. Laser Technology can help to remove fat in hard to reach areas that traditional liposuction may miss.
Laser Lipo is a great way to rid the body of unwanted fatty areas that are stubborn and which resist exercise and diet efforts. Laser Lipo is safe and effective at eradicating fat cells in localized areas with ease.
