How Often Do You Need Laser Lipo?
Each body stores fat in unique ways, so we all have areas where our body clings to accumulated fat and refuses to let go. Areas like these are the perfect target for laser lipo, a form of liposuction that gently breaks up fat before removal. Laser lipo can be used anywhere you can have traditional liposuction but with minimal downtime and discomfort.

What is Laser Lipo?
During traditional liposuction, a device called a cannula is used to separate fat cells before removing them with suction. At Rejuve Med-Spa, we use VASERlipo™, a form of laser lipo that uses ultrasound energy to painlessly liquefy fat cells, making them much easier to remove. Laser lipo causes less bruising and bleeding than traditional liposuction for a rapid recovery. You can have this procedure almost anywhere you want to achieve a more sculpted figure.
How Often Do You Need Laser Lipo?
Most of us have very few good things to say about our fat cells, but the positive news is that when you remove them, they do not grow back. The fat removed with laser lipo will never return, and most people only need one treatment to remove all the fat needed for their contoured results.
While your fat cells will not grow back, you still have fat cells in the area, and these can store more fat if you gain weight. The most effective way to maintain your liposuction results is to incorporate healthy lifestyle factors that help you maintain a consistent weight.
What Areas Can Laser Liposuction Treat?
We use VASERlipo™ to treat large and small areas, letting us contour your figure from the chin to the thighs. Popular areas to have laser lipo include:
- Abdomen
- Inner and outer thighs
- Back or bra roll
- Male chest
- Waist and flanks
- Hips and buttocks
- Upper arms
- Submental fat (double chin)
People who want to treat many of these areas but prefer a non-invasive option may consider CoolSculpting®, which works by freezing fat cells without affecting other tissues. This treatment may not remove as much fat as liposuction, and the results take a few months to appear.

What is Recovery Like After Laser Lipo?
We recommend taking time to rest after your procedure, although some people may need more than others. You can resume light activities around the house almost immediately, and most people return to work within one to two days. Limit strenuous activities for two to three weeks, and listen to any signs of soreness or fatigue that indicate you might be pushing yourself too hard.
Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Lipo?
Laser lipo is typically recommended for people who want to target specific areas of resistant fat but understand that the procedure is not intended to help them lose weight. Good candidates have realistic expectations and are in good health. We will assess your goals during your consultation and determine whether VASERlipo™ is the best way to achieve them. not recommended if you are pregnant or have any medical conditions that could affect your safety during treatment.
