Laser Liposuction is a term that covers several weight removal procedures that employ laser beams. The laser beams will intensify the treatment and the results will be more remarkable, as the fat will be melted and will be easier to extract or eliminate. The popularity of Laser Liposuction is on the rise, given the many cosmetic and health benefits.
Cosmetic Benefits of Laser Liposuction
Laser Liposuction is used for fat removal purposes. The amount of fat that can be removed is variable, depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment. However, on average, the Laser Liposuction can remove between 10 and 20 pounds of fat from one area. The treatment can be performed in 30 to 90 minutes.
Laser Liposuction is a treatment that can be applied on most areas that are covered with layers of fat. This is an advantage over the traditional liposuction, which is more aggressive and is not recommended for use on the face, neck or chest area. These more sensitive areas may be treated with laser liposuction and procedures that are liquid assisted or that transform the fat into liquid first, to ensure that there will be minimal bruising and tissue damage.
There are also other cosmetic benefits of the Laser Liposuction such as:
- Collagen stimulation (due to the laser beams), which will result in tightening of skin within two to four weeks after the treatment
- The procedures are suitable for all skin types
- There will be negligible or no scarring, as typically only small circular incisions are needed and these should heal without leaving scars
Health Benefits of Laser Liposuction
A slimming procedure is beneficial for the health, as it will contribute to reduced risks of:
- Heart disease, as the heart will have to pump blood to fewer tissues
- Arthritis, extra weight can be bad on joints and may facilitate the early onset of arthritis
- Type 2 diabetes, which is likely to occur in overweight patients that don’t produce sufficient amounts of insulin to assimilate the glucose in the blood
Laser Liposuction may be chosen over other types of slimming treatments, as there will be some additional health benefits. In some Laser Liposuction treatment, there will be no need for incisions; surgery incisions are associated with risks such as bleeding, blood clots and infections.
Most Laser Liposuction treatments involve only local anesthesia, which is less dangerous than general anesthesia (needed for more aggressive types of liposuction such as the traditional liposuction).
Last but not least, a slimming procedure that will be successful will also have great benefits for the mental health of the patient. The patient will be less self conscious and less prone to depression, which is often caused by low self esteem. A positive frame of mind is also important for the overall health of the patient and may also be linked to a stronger immune system.
