Men and women who wish to eliminate fat that is resistant to diet and exercise but fear they’ll be left with loose, sagging skin afterwards have a new, minimally-invasive option available to them: laser liposuction. Unlike traditional methods, this revolutionary technique uses heat to melt fat while stimulating collagen production in the skin, thereby resulting in tighter, smoother skin, as well as less swelling, bruising, and post-operation pain.
Traditional liposuction has been around for decades, but many patients are still scared of undergoing the procedure. Aside from the long recovery period and other risks associated with it, they have also heard that the skin often sags after the fat is removed during treatment. Standard methods also have a limitation to the volume of fat that could be potentially removed from the body.
On the other hand, the ultrasound-assisted guidance of a laser during laser lipolysis can be used on many parts of the body, including hard-to-reach areas, such as the back, breasts, hips, arms, knees, and neck. The laser treatment helps the patient achieve a more balanced skin texture and also results in excellent sculpting with tight skin—about 50 percent better than what would have been achieved through traditional methods, according to recent studies. And because laser liposuction uses targeted energy to zero in on the fat, it doesn’t affect other tissue, thereby resulting in faster recovery with minimal swelling, bruising, and pain. In fact, patients are able to resume normal activities one to two days after the procedure, and strenuous activities like exercise after a week or so.
