Learn The Essentials About The Laser Liposuction Technique

Many techniques can be used to execute liposuction, since the surgeon will select a technique based on the results the patient wants to obtain. One of the techniques currently used in the world of fat removal is laser liposuction, also known under the term laser lipolysis.

As you may expect, laser lipolysis is quite a different technique than traditional liposuction. Patients who wish to learn more about this technique and how it interacts with the body, please read the information provided by our team below.

What Is The Treatment Goal Of Laser Lipolysis?

Laser lipolysis is a procedure designed to tighten the skin in addition to the removal of excess fat. Considering the unique treatment goal of this technique, laser lipolysis is commonly used in body sculpting procedures. Therefore, patients who are in good shape and are around their target weight tend to be good candidates for this kind of procedure.

How Is Laser Lipolysis Executed?

During laser lipolysis, a trained cosmetic surgery will use laser to melt the body fat. Of course, not just any kind of laser can be used for this purpose, as the device used during laser lipolysis uses heat released from dedicated fibre-optic lasers.

The technique used for laser lipolysis does come with some benefits. One of the additional benefits of laser lipolysis is that it can stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is a compound that can make the skin tighter and smoother. So, collagen is also a protein that is linked to anti-ageing benefits.

Most patients who acquire laser lipolysis will experience a loss of fat and an increase in skin tightness. Even though major complications are rare with this kind of procedure, patients can experience some minor discomfort and bruising shortly after their treatment.

What Are The Risks Associated With Laser Lipolysis?

As we mentioned earlier, major complications after laser lipolysis are rare. That being said, it does not mean that complications cannot occur whatsoever. Just like with any form of cosmetic surgery, laser lipolysis is associated with a certain degree of risk.

A procedure such as laser lipolysis are accompanied by risks such as infection, bleeding, scarring, injury to the nerves, an abnormal reaction to anaesthesia, and blood clots. In addition to these risks, patients must also consider the possible complications usually accompanied by liposuction. These risks include contour irregularities, asymmetric results, seroma, skin discolouration, and skin burning.

Before a patient can have laser lipolysis, they must sign a consent form. The consent form is provided by The Dr Lanzer Clinic and includes all essential information regarding risks and possible complications. The patient is required to sign this consent form, which states that the patient understands the risks involved with the procedure.

Do I Need To Stay Overnight After Having Laser Lipolysis?

Laser lipolysis is usually executed on an outpatient basis; this means patients who have this procedure can usually leave our clinic on the same day. Of course, patients still need to follow the post-operative guidelines provided by The Dr Lanzer Clinic during their recovery.

What Does Laser Lipolysis Cost?

The cost of laser lipolysis is subject to the amount of fat that will be removed during the procedure. It is also subject to the size of the treatment area and the experience of your cosmetic surgery. However, not all experienced surgeons charge more for their services, especially surgeons who have their own operating theatre such as Dr Lanzer.

At The Dr Lanzer Clinic, we do not like to put average prices of procedures online; this since the cost of a treatment can be considerably different from patient to patient. So, to get the most accurate quote from laser lipolysis, we recommend attending an appointment with Dr Lanzer.

Will Laser Lipolysis Work For Me?

So, patients should always enjoy a balanced diet and get plenty of exercise to keep enjoying the benefits obtained from laser lipolysis.
