What are the benefits of Lipo-Laser?
Lipo-Laser reduces fat in specific areas of your body that are often difficult to change with diet and exercise. This is a popular, minimally invasive option to remove belly fat and fat in other areas. As an added benefit, Lipo-Laser also tightens the skin and better sculpts the body.
Lipo-Laser 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 perform Lipo-Laser, 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.
Plastic surgeons recommend Lipo-Laser for removing fat from specific areas, including:
Belly
Flanks
Back
Inner and outer thighs
Arms
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.
Although the procedure is safe, people who are pregnant, insulin dependent, have disease processes such as skin cancer or Lupus, or have medically implanted electrical devices, (pacemaker, glucose monitor, insulin pump), are discouraged from using Lipo-Laser.
