ProLipo is a laser-assisted fat removal procedure that can have many cosmetic and health benefits. ProLipo is a minimally invasive surgery that will allow the patient to recover quickly and see the results in a few days.
Cosmetic Benefits of ProLipo
The cosmetic benefits of ProLipo include fat removal and skin tightening. ProLipo is performed using tumescent anesthesia and laser beams. The procedure may be performed by suctioning the fat, or in some cases, the fat will be eliminated by the patient's body.
1. Fat Removal
ProLipo can be used for fat removal in different areas such as the face, neck, stomach, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, arms, back and it can also be used to reduce male breasts. ProLipo will remove the fat in one to six sessions (depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed, and the way each patient responds to the laser treatment). ProLipo is mostly recommended for the removal of smaller quantities of fat, which can be very difficult to lose through diet or exercise. ProLipo employs laser beams that melt the adipose tissues. Then the fat will be extracted or left for the body to eliminate. ProLipo has no side effects such as depigmentation or skin damage.
2. Skin Tightening
ProLipo will also have a skin tightening effect. Loose skin is common in patients that undergo liposuction or who have lost a lot of weight. The lasers used in the ProLipo procedure warm up the dermal layers and stimulate the skin's collagen, which will speed up the skin tightening. If applied on the face, the ProLipo surgery will act as a gentle face and neck lift.
Health Benefits of ProLipo
The health benefits of ProLipo include an improved overall health, and less stress on the joints and the heart. The procedure itself is less dangerous than other more invasive fat removal surgeries.
1. Healthier Heart
ProLipo reduces fat and this will have a beneficial impact on the health of the patient. Even though ProLipo only removes small amounts of fat, this can make a difference and take some workload off the heart, so the chances of heart problems will be greatly diminished.
2. Reduced Stress on Joints
Less fat will also mean less stress on the joints, and this can be helpful for patients that have arthritis or are prone to arthritis.
3. Positive Frame of Mind
A slimmer figure may also improve the patient's self esteem, and the patient will be less likely to become depressed. A positive frame of mind can have a great influence on the overall health of the patient.
4. Minimal Health Risks or Side Effects
ProLipo is a surgery but it is minimally invasive, so there will be minimal health risks involved. ProLipo requires only tumescent anesthesia, so there will be no risks related to a general anesthesia. The patient can recover within five days after a ProLipo procedure. There will be no tissue damage or trauma; some more invasive liposuction procedures may cause tissue damage.
