What is Laser-Assisted Lipo?
Tired of excess fat but going under the knife scares you? Then you need Laser-Assisted Liposuction. It’s an easy way to reduce fat and improve body contours without surgery. Best of all, it is simpler and quicker than traditional lipo.
It is a type of liposuction that uses a laser to help melt the fat bulges for optimized fat extraction. This makes it less aggressive and more convenient. But remember that, as with other cosmetic procedures, this procedure brings risk. About 80% of patients typically experience mild pain and swelling in the area, although there are many other complications too.

What are the Results?
It may take six to twelve months to see the final results. Normally, by two weeks many of the side-effects are down and most sufferers are looking beautiful than before.
Procedure Steps:
The procedure includes the following phases:
- Anesthesia is administered in the affected area
- The surgeon makes a tiny hole and uses a laser under the skin
- Laser dissolves the diet-resistant fat
- A thin cannula is inserted, primarily for the extraction of fat from the body
What Can You Expect?
A regular laser-assisted lipo is performed in a hospital or an outpatient surgery center. During treatment, the treatment area is numbed with local anesthetics so that you do not feel any pain or discomfort. In some cases, you might be under general anesthesia and be completely sedated.
You can expect to lose about 20 – 25 pounds of your body weight via this approach. It is, however, important to note that it is not an inclusive weight loss technique.
Of course, there are things to factor in and the treatment results may differ from patient to patient. Just so you know, in general, the results vary depending on the patient’s responses, surgeon’s expertise, the treatment site, and the number of sessions performed.
