There are many reasons why you may consider getting liposuction. Maybe you have some fat pockets that do not respond to diet or any workout. You may also have lost weight, and you need to shed the remaining stubborn weight. Whatever your reason may be, laser lipo can help you achieve the results you desire.

 

Laser lipo is a safe cosmetic procedure that suits many people. It can remove fat from your back, stomach, thighs, calves, face, and hips. However, you may not be a good candidate for the treatment if you have certain conditions. 

 

Among these conditions are heart disease, malignancy, or pregnancy. Also, infectious diseases and acute diseases disqualify you from undergoing treatment. Please note that this procedure is not an obesity treatment.

 

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

Laser lipo is a procedure that removes body fat for cosmetic purposes. The effects should be permanent because the laser beam inactivates the fat cells. As a result, it leaves them unable to store fat again.

 

Laser lipo is a safe and effective procedure that targets small body fat areas. Surgeons do it on an outpatient basis, meaning the recovery happens fast. Some patients notice results after a few laser lipo sessions; most need six to eight treatment sessions to see complete results.

 

The easiest way to see results is to avoid non-water drinking beverages. Avoid eating an hour or three hours before the laser lipo treatment. Doing so helps burn the fat released from the fat cells of your body as energy.

 

BENEFITS OF LASER LIPO

Laser lipo has many benefits compared to traditional liposuction. It burns fat using laser energy, which becomes metabolically removed from your body by natural means. No suction happens as with the traditional liposuction. As a result, you have a lower risk of experiencing complications.

 

Laser lipo is a less invasive cosmetic treatment. You have a lower risk of scarring with this procedure. You will also have less downtime after the treatment, usually up to two days, unlike the ten days needed in traditional liposuction.

 

HOW TO PREPARE

Preparation depends on the type of anesthesia done. Your specialist may ask you to stop taking certain kinds of medication for some time before the procedure. Doing so can help lower the risk of getting complications. You may also need to stop smoking because smoking can make it hard for your body to heal as it should.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT DURING THE PROCEDURE 

You should not feel any pain during a laser lipo treatment. Your specialist is likely to give you local anesthesia before the treatment begins. Doing so will help numb the procedure site on your body.

 

The procedure time taken depends on the number of areas that require treatment. Also, the type of laser lipo used determines the amount of time spent during the procedure. During the session, your doctor will use a device that emits a laser beam to treat the targeted area.

 

AFTER THE LASER LIPO PROCEDURE

You should expect to experience soreness after the procedure. This can take a couple of days, but it gradually goes away. You may have to wear a compression garment for some time to reduce your risk of complications and to help with your process of healing. During this period, you may need to limit most of your activities until the soreness heals.
