A technique for combating sagging skin and localized fat has caught the attention of the aesthetics market. The device utilizes state-of-the-art laser technology to effectively treat sagging skin and fat without the need for invasive surgery. With sessions lasting just 1 hour, the technique promises to eliminate up to eight centimeters of those stubborn “love handles.”
The technique is recommended for patients with localized fat in the abdomen, back, thighs, and other affected areas. It can also be used to improve skin texture and combat body sagging.
Highly effective, the technique provides visible results after the first session. However, it is important to note that the effects may vary depending on each patient’s reaction.
Can anyone undergo the lipolaser procedure?
Dr. Denise Santana, a specialist in orofacial harmonization, aesthetic biomedical, and director of the Belle Harmony Clinic for advanced aesthetics, highlights that lipolaser is a minimally invasive technique that can be an option for some patients who wish to reduce localized fat in specific areas. She emphasizes that the technique uses high-power laser to burn fat and stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can help improve the texture and appearance of the treated areas.
“Lipolaser is considered a safe procedure for many people. It is typically used to remove fat from the abdomen, face, thighs, calves, hips, and back. However, individuals with certain conditions are generally not considered good candidates for the procedure. These conditions include acute illnesses, infectious diseases, and heart conditions. It is extremely important to undergo an evaluation before determining if the procedure is right for your case,” highlights Dr. Denise Santana.
How to prepare for lipolaser?
This depends on the type of anesthesia being used, as well as the area being treated. You may need to avoid taking certain medications, such as anticoagulants, for a certain period before the treatment to reduce the risk of complications. If you smoke, remember that smoking makes it harder for your body to heal afterward.
What to expect during the procedure?
You will likely receive local anesthesia before the procedure, which helps numb the area. The duration of the procedure depends on how many areas need to be treated. During the procedure, the specialist will use a device to treat the target areas with laser technology.
After the procedure
After undergoing lipolaser, you may feel some discomfort or numbness, which will gradually disappear. This usually takes a few days, during which you may need to limit your activities. You may also need to wear compression garments for a certain period to aid in the healing process and reduce the risk of complications. While lipolaser provides effective results, remember that you must be willing to take measures to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Benefits of Lipolaser
In addition, lipolaser offers many benefits compared to traditional liposuction. This type of treatment uses laser energy to burn fat, which is then metabolically eliminated from the body naturally. There is no suction involved as in traditional liposuction, leading to a lower risk of complications. It is also a much less invasive procedure, resulting in a lower risk of scarring and fibrosis.
“Lipolaser is a minimally invasive technique that can help reduce localized fat in specific areas of the body, improve the appearance of the skin, and provide a less invasive and painful alternative to traditional liposuction. However, it is important to remember that it is not a miracle solution and that it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to maintain long-term results. If you are considering lipolaser as an option, it is important to consult with a qualified and experienced professional to assess whether it is the appropriate procedure for your specific case and to clarify all your doubts,” concludes Dr. Denise Santana.
