Lipotherme is a laser liposuction therapy that uses lasers to soften fat beneath the surface of your skin. Your doctor will insert a small canella through a tiny incision in the skin, through which he'll administer the laser light; once the fat is softened, he'll then suction it away. Lipotherme can be used in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, traditional lipsuction techniques. Here are some of the reasons to consider Lipotherme treatments instead of, or in addition to, traditional liposuction therapy.
1. Lipotherme Is a Safe Alternative to Liposuction
Lipotherme is a safe, effective, non-invasive procedure that's virtually risk free. Unlike traditional liposuction, Lipotherme carries no risk of scarring, no risk of infection and no recovery time.
2. Lipotherme Tones Skin while Removing Fat
Traditional liposuction siphons fat out of the body, which can leave behind unsightly bagging skin. Lipotherme tightens and tones skin at the same time that it removes fat, so that your skin continues to hug your body's contours after the procedure.
3. Lipotherme Is Easy and Non-Invasive
Unlike traditional liposuction treatments, Lipotherme can be performed as an outpatient procedure; it's non-invasive and usually takes only one treatment session to achieve results.
4. Lipotherme Can Treat Any Area of the Body
Lipotherme can remove fat deposits from areas of the body unreachable by traditional liposuction treatments. Some of the areas of the body that can benefit from Lipotherme treatments include:
- Knees
- Ankles
- Face
- Hips
- Thighs
- Arms
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Back
5. Lipotherme Is Painless
Lipotherme treatments are virtually painless. Your doctor will use a local anesthetic to numb the area to be treated. Most patients say that the procedure doesn't hurt, but they do notice a warm feeling from the heat of the lasers.
6. Lipotherme Carries a Short Recovery Time
Lipotherme treatments are non-invasive and carry a short recovery time. Most patients resume their normal activities the day after treatment. You should avoid strenuous activity for at least a week following treatment.
Unlike traditional liposuction patients, Lipotherme patients experience little bruising, bleeding, swelling and pain.
7. Results Appear Quickly
You'll begin to see the result of the procedure within two weeks of treatment, though many patients see results within days. Most patients see full results at 12 to 16 weeks, though your condition can continue to improve after 16 weeks have passed.
8. You'll Remain Awake for the Procedure
Traditional liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires general anesthesia and carries a number of risks and a long recovery time. Lipotherme is a non-invasive outpatient procedure that uses local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. You'll remain awake and alert during the procedure.
9. Lipotherme Allows You to Target Problem Areas
The Lipotherme procedure allows you and your doctor to target specific problem areas where you'd like to remove unwanted fat. Common areas include the backs of the arms, the neck and the chin. Lipotherme can help remove those fat deposits that don't seem to be affected by diet and exercise.
10. Lipotherme Is Permanent
Lipotherme permanently removes fat cells from problem areas, while simultaneously tightening skin.
