Does Laser Liposuction Actually Do Anything?

Are you searching for a non-invasive method of losing stubborn fat without any major surgical procedures? Maybe you've asked yourself, "do laser lipo work"? The best way to answer that question is "YES". However, the level of effectiveness for each individual depends on the individual's personal motivations behind wanting to lose weight. Unlike conventional "weight loss," minimally invasive laser liposuction (laser lipolysis) is considered primarily for body sculpting and tightening of the skin.

 

How Effective is Laser Lipo?

Numerous clinical studies and reviews of patients undergoing the procedure show that laser lipo appears to be extremely effective at removing localized areas of fat, also called "fat pockets". When the laser melts (the fat), it allows the surgeon to remove the melted fat... or in some cases allow the body itself to process the melted fat. This gives the overall experience to the patient a much smoother and less traumatic experience than previous methods of fat removal (traditional liposuction).

 

In addition, a big plus of the laser lipo is it's "two-for-one" effect.

 

Fat Melting = the laser beam breaks down fat cells and then the body or surgeon uses suction to remove the melted fat.

Skin Tightening = The laser's heat creates collagen stimulation, causing your skin to "wrap" around your new, improved shape and to prevent sagging, a common response with traditional weight loss methods.
