How does Laser Liposuction work?

Traditional liposuction utilizes a suction probe that is inserted under the skin to break up the fat deposits. In laser liposuction, the laser is adjusted to an exact frequency to deliver its energy through the initial layers of the patient's skin to reach the fat deposits that are being targeted.

What are the advantages of Laser Liposuction?

As compared to the use of micro-cannulas and even ultrasonic waves that are used in other liposuction methods to break up the fat deposits, laser-assisted liposuction is the least invasive liposuction procedure and produces the least risk of tissue damage.

In addition, a laser can also help to tighten your skin after liposuction. Patients would usually require skin lifts after traditional liposuction as the removal of fatty deposits under the skin results in unsightly, loose and inelastic skin. Skin lifts also result in scaring that makes the liposuction treatment counterproductive. A carbon dioxide laser can be used to treat the layers immediately beneath the skin. The energy from the laser helps to reconstruct these layers and pull the surrounding skin inwards, giving a lifting effect.
