What is Laser Liposuction?

What is Laser Liposuction? as we explain it before in another post, Laser liposuction or lipolaser, as its name indicates, is a technique that attacks the body fat by means of high-intensity laser light, dissolving the adipose cells to allow its extraction without damaging the rest of the tissues. The key to this technique is that it removes fat and tightens the skin by stimulating collagen production. Which achieves the desired aesthetic effect and promotes immediate recovery without bruising or bleeding.

It is very effective in larger areas (abdomen, flanks or legs) as well as in small rebel areas (double chin, chest, lower abdomen). And also in areas where the skin tissue is more sensitive and tends to sag, such as the inner side of the arms. In general terms, this technique reduces the risks of traditional liposuction, offers better results, and helps combat cellulite.

How does Liposuction Laser works?

The non-invasive Laser Liposuction can stimulate the adipose cell or adipocyte to release much of its cellular content (water, fatty acids, and glycerol) into the interstitial space. Subsequently, it is drained and metabolized naturally by the body. Thus the fat cell significantly reduces its size, which translates into a loss of centimeters for patients.

The basic treatment with the Non-invasive Laser Liposuction is composed of a frequency of use of 2 to 3 times per week for a minimum of 3 weeks. The treatment can continue for as many weeks as the treatment requires.

Most importantly, the sessions have a duration of 15 minutes per area. So depending on the areas treated, the total time of the session will be between 15 to 60 minutes approximately.

Traditional liposuction vs laser liposuction

Thanks to technological advances, it is possible to access new treatments that make our lives easier. Laser liposuction is a new item on the market. There are differences between this new way of removing fat and what we know as traditional liposuction. One of the main characteristics that must be taken into account is that laser liposuction is a body contouring that eliminates fat attached to the body. The differences between these two procedures are in the recovery and the results.

Traditional liposuction requires general anesthesia. The consequences of this are inflammation, a longer postoperative period, and delayed recovery. If you want to know more about the risks of using anesthesia, go here. On the other hand, laser liposuction only requires local anesthesia or simple sedation, which will allow a faster recovery.

 

The intervention is different in both cases. In traditional liposuction, a cannula and an aspirator are usually inserted, which allows the fatty tissue to be removed after infiltration. The lipolaser consists of introducing a laser fiber through a very thin cannula, through a small incision that accesses the subcutaneous fat in such a way that it manages to liquefy it without the need to aspirate it, producing a natural elimination of the fat. A fundamental aspect of laser liposuction is that the heat produced by the laser causes a retraction of the collagen in the dermis (skin layer), generating a lifting effect that does not cause asymmetries that can appear in traditional liposuction..

On several occasions, thanks to the procedure that is carried out with a traditional lipo, it cannot be carried out in some parts of the body. On the other hand, thanks to laser liposuction, fat can be extracted from places such as the buttocks, back, and knees.We know that there are many processes to eliminate fat.
