Laser Lipo - What, How, and Why

Laser liposuction (also commonly called laser lipo or smart lipo) is becoming a very popular technique to permanently get rid of fat from specific areas of your body. Here is a brief overview of what you can expect with this procedure.

The 'What and How'

Basically, the laser lipo procedure is simple. Your doctor will make a very small incision in your skin, allowing a small tube called a canula to penetrate into the fatty tissue you would like removed. Then, the laser within the canula uses a very special laser to target the fatty areas. The laser essentially dissolves or liquifies the fat, which is then removed via the inserted canula.

The 'Why'

So why would someone choose laser lipo versus plastic surgery and traditional liposuction? There are several reasons. First, the cost of the procedure is typically much less than liposuction. Second, the procedure is a much more simple out-patient procedure. No general anesthetic is required, only local is given to the patient. Because of this you are able to go home much quicker. Furthermore, recovery times with laser lipo are much quicker. Because the laser targets only fat areas you will have much less bleeding and bruising and be able to recover faster. Finally, laser lipo is also approved by the FDA. While other lipo alternatives are not yet approved, this technique is, which helps you feel more safe when going into the procedure.

However, just because it is approved by the FDA does not mean it is the best option for you. Be sure to consult with your doctor before deciding to undergo any major treatment on your body.
