Lipotherme is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by a laser to soften fat into a liquid form. The immune system is then able to move this fat out of the body over time. It is often used in conjunction with liposuction when the situation calls for such. It is not meant to replace liposuction, but to complement the results of other fat removal techniques. When it is used alone, the recovery time is much quicker with Lipotherme than traditional liposuction, and can be used in various areas of the body. Speaking with your physician can help you determine if Lipotherme is right for you.
Areas of the Body Lipotherme Treats
Lipotherme is used to treat specific areas where unwanted fat is present. These areas are generally hard to change with diet and exercise alone. Successful results are seen on the face, chin and cheek areas where double chins and puffy cheeks can be a problem. The abdomen and love handles around the waist can also be treated with Lipotherme, along with saddle bags on the hips. The fat that accumulates on the back of the arms is also manageable with this procedure. Even the knees and ankles can have fat deposits removed. Other areas may be possible, but it is best to consult with a physician to determine the safety and efficacy of such treatments. Lipotherme is best utilized for small areas of concern and should not be used for large areas of the body.
