Laser Lipo
October 21, 2009 2:46 am weight lossLaser lipo is a relatively new technology. This procedure is a kind of liposuction where the excess body fat is removed from the body using laser beams. The laser beams are used to liquefy the fatty cells inside the body. After liquefaction, these cells leave the body through normal metabolism of the body.
Laser lipo is also known as Smart Lipo or Laser Liposuction. This technique is different from normal liposuction technique since it doesn’t require any incisions on the body. This procedure is often done when the patient is awake without any local anesthetic. This saves quite a bit of money which would have gone on anesthesia. This is one of the reasons why laser liposuction is cheaper than normal liposuction procedure.
Smart liposuction has other distinct advantages over a normal liposuction technique in addition to cost and number of incisions. For example, it does not leave any scars on your body because of no incisions. The recovery time is also very less. Patients recover from this surgery in mere hours instead of days. Also, the success rate of smart lipo is much higher than a normal liposuction due to which this technique is fast gaining popularity.
However, laser liposuction should be performed on body parts having only a small amount of fat in that area. The most commonly treated body parts by this procedure are neck and saddlebags. The surgeon is able to sculpt the area while doing this surgery since the treated area is very small. Also, there is no skin sagging after this surgery. Usually, laser lipo is an outpatient procedure therefore you don’t have to get admitted to the hospital. If the area to be treated is bigger, then doctors recommend going with normal liposuction techniques.
You should always find a surgeon who has good experience and skill in this method. The results of a laser lipo technique depend on skill of the doctor as well as experience therefore having just theoretical knowledge is not enough? Generally, the laser liposuction charges are not covered under health insurance policy. So it is necessary that you go to a doctor who is better qualified and experienced to do such surgeries.
