Through the use of a laser, doctors can remove fat cells and sculpt more precisely, contouring your body in ways that were not possible before. Laser liposuction is one such a method that through the use of the laser has become safer than traditional methods of liposuction.
Fat removal from the buttocks, flanks, back, thighs, knees, abdomen, male breasts, arms, neck, jowls and chin respond to the use of a laser instead of a knife. And the skin tightening benefits with laser liposuction add to the overall sleeker look. With some fat reduction methods, the skin ends up saggy or loose when the fat is gone. Sometimes additional surgery is required to remove the excess skin.
Laser Liposuction is performed under a local anesthetic with a small cannula that requires only a tiny incision, reducing the risk of infection and bruising. The smaller incisions require no sutures and therefore there is no scarring. The fat is melted by the laser and suctioned out. The patient remains awake during the procedure and are back to normal activities within only one to two days. Laser liposuction results are permanent. Once the fat cells are removed, they will never come back. Since adults do not produce new fat cells, weight gain is only caused by enlarged existing fat cells that have been there since childhood. With the inability to produce new fat cells, the removal is permanent and is not replaced. The body has a set number of fat cells and adults do not reproduce them. Once they are gone they are gone. Fat cells grow and shrink to make you look fatter or skinnier, you do not acquire more cells.
Laser Liposuction removes fat cells and improves skin tone working well for reducing the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite is caused by fat bulging through connective tissue or sagging skin due to skin losing its elasticity. Some fat reduction methods can actually leave patients with a rippling in the skin giving them the appearance of cellulite. The laser slowly heats the skin, causing it to retract as fat cells are removing, resulting in a smooth result. The procedure is FDA approved for both fat removal and cellulite treatment. It is a great choice for those with specific fat pockets that just cannot be reduced with traditional exercise or for those with problems with stubborn fat in certain areas that they cannot get rid of with diet or exercise.
If fat is a problem, do some research on your choices for fat reduction. Laser liposuction can be a safe alternative to traditional liposuction with outstanding results that last. Less scarring, no bruising and low risk make it a great choice for anyone.
