Laser fat removal - laser lipolysis

If sports, various diets, slimming procedures and the endless desire to have a perfect figure still did not help, it is likely that unwanted body fat is programmed in your genes and will not give up so easily. In this case, a very popular procedure is recommended all over the world - laser fat removal, or in other words, laser lipolysis.

Laser fat removal (laser lipolysis) is one of the most modern fat removal procedures in the world, during which the energy emitted by the laser affects the cells of fat tissue and dissolves them. In short, fat cells are destroyed by a laser beam under the skin. Laser lipolysis is a technological innovation that allows you to achieve the highest level of aesthetic results.

A special laser of the new generation used during the operation destroys fat cells in unwanted places without damaging the surrounding tissue. The new fat removal procedure not only dissolves and removes fatty tissue, but also affects the collagen in the skin, which restores skin firmness, reveals body contours, and stimulates connective tissue cells - fibroblasts.

Advantages of the laser liposuction procedure compared to other liposuction operations:

• Firmer and smoother skin, new contours of a beautiful figure and less accumulation of fat in unwanted places.
• Particularly good results even in areas where conventional liposuction methods did not work, for example: areas above the knees or on the front surface of the thighs, neck - chin areas.
• The procedure does not leave scars, does not damage tissues, and there is a low risk of bruising.
• In certain cases, general or regional anesthesia is not required, only local anesthesia is used.
• Easy postoperative period - pressure compression therapy is used for a maximum of 3-7 days.
• The patient does not lose his ability to work, after the operation he is discharged home on the same day.

How is laser fat removal performed?

Laser fat removal surgery can be performed under both local and general anesthesia (depending on the case) and last from a dozen minutes to several hours, depending on the scope of the operation.

During the operation, a cannula (a tube through the end of which laser energy is emitted) is introduced through a very thin puncture with a diameter of 1-2 mm and a special laser fiber is inserted into the fatty tissue. By moving the cannula back and forth, the energy emitted by the laser is absorbed by the fat tissue cells, which dissolve and drain easily. The laser energy simultaneously affects the skin's collagen, causing it to change, swell, and then stretch and contour the skin.

What to choose - laser lipolysis or liposuction?

Patients often apply to significantly reduce their body shapes and get rid of unnecessary pounds. However, it is important to know when it is better to choose laser fat removal and when to choose liposuction and to understand that these two procedures are not a way to lose weight, but only an opportunity to beautify body lines.

Standard liposuction (fat suction) is performed if fat is to be removed from a larger area of ​​the body, such as the abdomen, waist, thighs.

Here, laser lipolysis is performed only for fat removal from small areas where a large subcutaneous layer of fat is not accumulated - from the neck, chin, inner knees, inner upper arms, in some cases from the abdomen, hips and torso. If the body mass index (BMI) is higher than 27, this operation is not possible, because it is not a weight reduction operation, so laser lipolysis is best performed after stabilizing the body weight. In addition, laser liposuction can be performed after liposuction surgery to eliminate remaining body imperfections.
