Candidacy for Lipotherme

Used in various areas of the body, Lipotherme allows fat cells to be removed by using laser-generated heat. The heat causes the fat to soften and turn into a liquid, which is gradually removed from the body by the immune system. Smoother, flatter surfaces are revealed. The procedure is minimally invasive and has a much shorter recovery time than traditional liposuction. 

Candidacy for Lipotherme

Lipotherme can be used by anyone in good health, as long as a female is not pregnant. As with any surgical procedure, those who suffer from a major medical condition may not be considered the best people to undergo Lipotherme. If you use prescription medications, check with your doctor to be certain that this procedure will not interfere with your drugs or cause any adverse side effects. Since Lipotherme is best suited to treat localized areas of fat, it is not recommended for those looking for dramatic weight loss from the procedure. Areas that can be treated with Lipotherme include the face, neck, arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, knees and ankles. For other areas, it is best to consult with a physician about safety and success of treatment. Lipotherme is approved by the FDA for use in the United States.
