Laser Liposuction: Lipotherme™, Smartlipo™, LipoSelection® by Vaser®
Laser liposuction is a safe, effective, minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to liquefy and remove unwanted fat in targeted body zones. In addition to removing unwanted fat, laser liposuction causes the skin to contract, resulting in firmer, smoother skin that further enhances your body shaping goals.
Benefits of Laser Liposuction :
- Minimal Downtime - Advanced technology means you’ll be back in action in less time
- Promotes skin tightening
- Only local anesthesia is required
- Little to no pain
- Less bruising and swelling than other forms of liposuction
- Little to no scarring
Throughout history, heat has been used to promote health and well being. Laser Liposuction is a revolutionary technique that harnesses the power of heat-generating lasers to selectively break up unwanted body fat and reshape your body.
Laser Liposuction can be used to treat fat in the following locations:
Abdomen
Waist (love handles)
Back (bra line)
Thighs (inner and outer)
Hips (saddle bags)
Face (chin and cheeks)
Knees
Arms (back of arms)
Chest
Ankles
Q: What are the benefits to Laser Liposuction laser-assisted lipolysis?
A: Laser Liposuction is the ideal body shaping tool for reducing localized fat deposits in areas that are resistant to exercise and diet. Laser Liposuction allows your doctor to selectively target unwanted fat deposits and eliminate them. You’ll see an overall circumference reduction in the targeted zone, as well as skin tightening in the treated area.
Q: Is Laser Liposuction the same thing as liposuction?
A: Laser Liposuction and liposuction are both highly effective procedures for the removal of unwanted fat, however, Laser lipolysis is a minimally-invasive procedure with virtually no downtime. Traditional liposuction is considered a highly-invasive procedure and may require several days or even weeks of down time. In addition, Laser Liposuction is excellent for treating certain areas that traditional liposuction cannot treat such as the bra line, under the chin, above the knees and ankles. Depending on your goals and physical condition, Laser Liposuction can be an alternative to traditional liposuction, or your doctor may recommend a combination therapy of Laser Liposuction with traditional liposuction.
Q: How soon will I see results and how long will my results last?
A: Typically, you’ll see dramatic improvement within 1 to 2 weeks after the treatment, but some areas such as the neck and jaw can show even faster results. Because healing and metabolism rates are different with everyone, results following a Laser Liposuction treatment usually require 12 to 16 weeks to become fully apparent and improvement continues to be seen for several months.
Q: Is this a “one-time” treatment?
A: Primarily, Laser Liposuction treatments are considered “one-time” treatments. In adults, fat cells cannot grow back once they’ve been removed. If you gain weight after having Laser Liposuction, the excess fat will accumulate in areas where you did not have the treatment. After the final results are achieved, if your physician is not satisfied with the results, a “touch-up” treatment may be performed.
Q: Is there a recuperation period?
A: Typically, you can resume normal activities the day after your treatment, however, it is recommended you wait several days before resuming strenuousactivity such as exercising.
Laser Liposuction is safe, having been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States.
