Laser Liposuction is a powerful, minimally invasive way to melt away unwanted fat, while toning and sculpting your body.  Using energy from advanced laser technology, Laser Liposuction targets and destroys fat cells, while promoting skin tightening in the surrounding areas.  With Laser Liposuction, there’s no general anesthesia required, and patients will experience less bruising, swelling and bleeding than is typical with more aggressive, traditional liposuction treatments. The first well known laser liposuction device was called Smart Lipo. We now use a variety of brand names in our offices.

Laser Liposuction offers some significant advantages over traditional liposuction techniques.  Patients undergoing traditional liposuction often require general anesthesia and weeks of downtime to recover from the aggressive and traumatic treatment.  And while traditional liposuction can remove unwanted fat, it does not promote skin tightening, meaning some patients can be left with loose and sagging skin after treatment. With the Laser Liposuction technique, there’s much less trauma to the body, significantly less bruising and swelling, and less downtime for the patient.  The laser encourages new collagen production, leading to better overall body sculpting.  And because there’s no need for general anesthesia, there’s less medical risk with Laser Liposuction. 

Laser Liposuction is ideal to treat small areas of stubborn fat that can’t be eliminated through diet and exercise.  Laser Lipo can help reduce fat and tighten skin in the abdomen, thighs, knees, chest, arms, breasts, hips, neck and chin. 

After the treatment area is marked, your doctor will infuse a numbing fluid directly into the fat layer through a very small incision. The laser is introduced through a tiny tube called a cannula.  Once the fat is treated with the laser, the doctor may suction the liquefied fat from the body.  For most patients, the procedure takes about an hour for each body area treated.  Many patients can drive themselves home after the procedure and return to work as soon as the following day. 

Our practice owns a wide variety of the most advanced and sophisticated lasers available.  Your doctor will discuss the laser that can help you achieve the best results based on your individual circumstances and the areas you wish to treat. 

No. The treatment area is numbed and the patient will feel little to no pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Laser Liposuction achieves excellent, long lasting results.  Improvement can be noticed immediately following the procedure, and skin tightening will continue in the coming months as new collagen is formed.  And because the fat cells are permanently destroyed and removed, no new fat will be deposited in the treated areas. 

Most patients require only one treatment for each area targeted.
