Laser Assisted Liposuction
Laser assisted liposuction represents the new standard in body sculpting. The procedure consists of three stages. First, a local anesthetic is infiltrated under the skin to provide a pain free treatment. Next, a laser is used to safely melt unwanted and stubborn fat. The fat is then removed by suction. Finally, the laser is used to heat the skin.
Laser liposuction offers significant advantages compared to traditional liposuction. Specifically, the use of the laser can help to build collagen and to tighten skin. Fat removal followed by deep heating of the treated areas gives a more sculpted appearance as skin tightens.
The procedure may be performed under local anesthesia or with sedation if the patient desires. Recovery is quick with most patients returning to work within 24 hours. The incisions are small, measuring less than one centimeter. The incisions are small enough that they are closed with skin glue. Patients are allowed to shower the morning after their procedure. A Spanx-like body shaper is used to reduce swelling and to improve contour after the procedure. Typically, patients wear the garment for two weeks following treatment.
Laser liposuction can be used on a variety of areas including the upper arms, back and waist, abdomen, thighs and even the little fat pocket under the chin. Patients love having treatment for turkey necks. The area under the chin responds very well to laser fat removal and skin tightening.
Laser liposuction is the ultimate sculpting tool for exercise resistant fat. No matter how much they exercise, patients often complain that they cannot get rid of fat on certain areas of their body. That is not the case with laser liposuction. Treatment with the Sciton Pro-V Laser even allows etching of six-pack muscles.
Laser assisted liposuction is made for anyone struggling to improve their overall physique.
