Laser Lipo
The allure of Laser Lipo lies in its simplicity and efficiency. By delivering low-wave laser energy directly to fat cells, the technology disrupts their integrity, causing them to release their stored content and shrink, which is then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. This process not only results in fat reduction but also encourages collagen production, leading to tighter skin and a more toned appearance post-treatment.
What Is Laser Lipo?
Laser lipo is a non-invasive form of body sculpting. It removes small fat deposits. Like surgical liposuction, this procedure permanently removes fat cells from your body. It’s much less painful, though, and laser lipolysis recovery is also shorter and less complicated. It also comes with a lower risk of loose skin afterward.
Laser lipolysis differs from traditional liposuction, which is considered a major surgery and requires general anesthesia (the patient is put into a sleep during the procedure). With surgical lipo, the surgeon inserts instruments into a layer of fat and uses a tube to break up fat cells and suction them out. Recovery can take months.
How Is Laser Lipo Done?
Laser lipo can be done in the doctor’s office. It takes about half an hour, and you can return to normal activity right away. There is no anesthesia involved.
To do the laser “lipo,” your doctor attaches paddle-like applicators to the area to be treated. The paddles emit heat that penetrates your skin and heats up the fat cells underneath. The heat damages the membranes of the fat cells, so they start to die off. Your body then absorbs the dead cells.
It takes time — about six weeks — to see the final results of the treatment. After that, you should have noticeable sculpting in the area that was treated. Some people need more than one treatment for optimal results.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Lipolysis?
Laser lipo has results that are as good as traditional liposuction. Its less invasive methods mean that you have an easier recovery from the procedure. There are some laser lipo risks, but symptoms, such as redness and swelling, are mild.
There is also a small risk of infection at the site of incisions made during laser-assisted lipo.
Experts have noted that laser lipolysis and laser-assisted liposuction result in skin-tightening after the procedure. Lasers stimulate collagen production. With traditional liposuction, the skin over the fat deposits may remain lax or saggy.
Comparing Laser Lipo to Other Body Contouring Technologies
| Laser Lipo vs. CoolSculpting, Ultrasound Cavitation, and RF Therapy | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Lipo uses targeted laser energy to heat and liquefy fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated from the body. This treatment is minimally invasive and usually requires local anesthesia. It stimulates collagen production, which can result in tighter skin in the treated area. | CoolSculpting, known as cryolipolysis, uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells. It is a non-invasive procedure where a cryo applicator is placed on the skin's surface to cool fat cells to the point of death without affecting other tissues. | Ultrasound Cavitation uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to create pressure around fat cells, causing them to burst and release their fatty content. | RF Therapy involves the use of radiofrequency energy to heat the dermis and subdermal layers, encouraging fat cell reduction and tightening the skin by boosting collagen and elastin production. |
Body contouring technology provides unique benefits. The choice between Laser Lipo, CoolSculpting, Ultrasound Cavitation, and RF will depend on various factors, including the patient’s goals, the amount of fat to be reduced, the desired recovery time, and any personal preferences for treatment types. Laser Lipo can be preferred for more immediate and noticeable fat reduction, along with some skin tightening benefits. CoolSculpting is ideal for patients looking for a non-invasive option with no downtime. Ultrasound Cavitation is another non-invasive option that works well for patients who prefer a painless treatment and are looking to treat larger body areas. Lastly, RF Therapy is excellent for those who prioritize skin tightening with moderate fat reduction.
