Laser Liposuction

Laser liposuction is a new technology in fat reduction that has been approved by the FDA as a method for removing fat in specific areas of the body. It seems that people no longer need to stick to the option of traditional liposuction.

Laser liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove fat in specific areas of the body. In this procedure a tiny cut is made on skin through which a 1mm diameter cannula is inserted. The laser tip of the instrument on coming into contact with the fat, heats and liquefies it. The melted fat can then be sucked out from the body immediately.

Prior to the removal of the fat, a cold laser is passed over each treatment site for 12 minutes. As this is a cold laser, there is no risk to the skin or surrounding tissue.

The laser liquefies the fat, allowing for easier removal and decreased procedure time. Other benefits of the laser liposuction, technique include decreased swelling and discomfort with a quicker recovery time. The patient should also notice more precise and aesthetically pleasing results.

The fats that are not removed from the body are simply flushed out through our lymphatic system. Laser intensity is low and can be adjusted as needed. A local anesthetic is all that is needed for laser liposuction.

Because this procedure is less invasive compared to other body sculpting procedures, there is only minimal bruising, scarring, tissue damage and pain. The incision is so tiny that it no longer needs to be stitched up. This means that the rate of recovery is faster. Patients can get back on their feet in a day or two.

Aside from melting fat, laser liposuction also promotes collagen production and tightens the skin. This is a great improvement compared to traditional liposuction. In traditional liposuction, some patients end up looking worse because of a lack of ideal skin elasticity. Some doctors may use laser liposuction after sessions of traditional liposuction to help tighten the skin.
