It offers the smoothest, best body-contouring results. It entails only a short recovery time. Minimal discomfort is involved. It is safer than traditional liposuction. It tightens the skin around the treatment area. It is more affordable than traditional liposuction. The results are permanent.
Can Laser Lipolysis work on areas that regular liposuction can’t?
Yes. Since the aiming beam at the tip of the Laser Lipolysis laser allows the doctor to know exactly where he or she is at all times, the procedure is very precise. As such, Laser Lipolysis is very effective in body areas that are not suitable for traditional liposuction, such as the face, neck, back and knees.
Does the Laser Lipolysis procedure hurt?
Since the Laser Lipolysis procedure is performed under local anesthesia, there is very little pain or discomfort involved. You may feel a minor stinging sensation and an impression of tugging at your skin during the Laser Lipolysis treatment, but these discomforts are minimal.
