Top 5 Treatment Areas for Laser Lipo Fat Removal

The body’s stubborn desire to store fat in unwanted places has made fat removal with liposuction a widely popular procedure. However, it can come with bruising, soreness, and recovery time. Advances in technology have brought a range of gentler, more effective options, often known as laser lipo. While not all use lasers, they are all highly effective methods for getting rid of resistant pockets of fat. 

What is Laser Lipo?

Laser lipo is a general term for energy-assisted liposuction techniques that gently break up fat, making it easier to remove. At Rejuve Med-Spa, we use VASERlipo™ for laser lipo. This method uses ultrasound energy vibrations to release fat cells from other tissues, allowing your provider to remove them with minimal trauma to the skin or other layers.

Top 5 Treatment Areas for Laser Lipo Fat Removal

Laser lipo, like VASERlipo™, can be used in a wide range of areas. It provides excellent results in large and small areas with more precision than traditional liposuction. Some of the most popular treatment areas include:

• Abdomen and flanks
• Legs (thighs, calves, and ankles)
• Upper arms
• Hips and buttocks
• Neck and under the chin

This is far from a complete list of the areas laser lipo can treat. We recommend a consultation so we can discuss all your problem areas and the best way to address them. 

How Does Laser Lipo Work?

VASERlipo™ uses a technique called tumescent liposuction. You will not require a general anesthetic, making the procedure safer. A sterile fluid containing numbing medication that tightens blood vessels to minimize swelling and bruising. This fluid also allows the ultrasound energy to break up fat without disturbing other tissues. Once released, the fat cells are removed through a small incision using a suction tool called a cannula. 

What is Recovery Like After Laser Lipo?

Because laser lipo works so gently, most people experience much less bruising and swelling than with traditional liposuction. Within two or three days, most people feel comfortable returning to work and doing light chores and are back to their normal exercise routine after two to three weeks. Your results will be visible as soon as the swelling fades but will continue to improve for several months. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Lipo?

Most healthy adults can enjoy the benefits of laser lipo for fat removal. However, this treatment is not intended for weight loss, and individuals will see their best results if they are close to their goal weight but have problem areas to address. People with certain medical conditions should not have laser lipo, and you should not have this treatment if you are pregnant. We welcome the opportunity to meet you and discuss your fat removal options.
