Laser Assisted Liposuction - ProLIPO PLUS™
For many people, despite dieting and exercise, some areas of the body simply do not lose the fat. Unfortunately, we are not programmed to lose weight uniformly throughout our body. Don’t despair. Options are available to help you lose the fat.
Laser assisted liposuction, also known as laser body contouring, is a safe and effective procedure to melt unwanted fat and firm your body resulting in a tighter, slimmer appearance. The procedure provides immediately visible results with minimal downtime.
Laser assisted liposuction is a procedure designed to remove areas of fat throughout the body through small incisions placed in natural skin creases. Common areas treated with liposuction include the chin, abdomen, hips, flanks, thighs, back, and arms.
Laser assisted liposuction is performed in the office under local anesthetic. Oral sedatives, if needed, also can be prescribed. During the procedure, tiny incisions are made and a diluted numbing medicine is placed in the area to be treated. Using a laser, the solid fat underneath the skin is liquefied and removed. The laser is also used to help tighten the skin in the treated area.
Recovery is quick. Mild swelling and bruising around the treated area is to be expected. Soreness, similar to what is experienced following a strenuous workout, may occur. Exercise may be resumed within a few days. The skin will continue to tighten and improve over several months. A post-operative compression garment may also be used.
