Advantages and Disadvantages of ProLipo

ProLipo is a minimally invasive slimming procedure that can extract fat cells and tighten skin. It has many advantages, but you should also learn about the disadvantages of this procedure.

Advantages of ProLipo

The ProLipo procedure not only removes fat, but will also stimulate the formation of collagen, so it will tighten the skin and rejuvenate it.

ProLipo is an outpatient procedure that will require only local anesthesia, which reduces the risks that are associated with general anesthesia.

The results of the procedure will be visible immediately; the skin will tighten progressively, but this should be visible within two to three weeks after the procedure.

ProLipo is a minimally invasive procedure that will allow you to get back to your daily routine immediately after the procedure. ProLipo may cause redness and swelling, but these should subside within 3 days of the procedure.

Disadvantages of ProLipo

The results of ProLipo are not permanent. The extraction of fat cells is only partial, so if you gain weight, this will be visible on all areas of your body, including the areas that have been treated with ProLipo.

ProLipo may require several sessions so that all the needed fat is removed. Up to six treatments may be recommended, and these treatments may add up to an impressive bill. These treatments should be administered with at least three months waiting period between them, so you will be able to see the final results only at the end of all treatment sessions.
