Laser liposuction

Laser liposuction It is a minimally invasive procedure aesthetic medicine used to reduce locally accumulated body fat. It uses laser energy to break down fat cells, which are then either naturally eliminated by the body or suctioned out using a thin cannula. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic.

The method is used, amongst other areas, on the chin, face, abdomen, thighs and love handles. As well as reducing body fat, the laser energy stimulates skin firming.

Compared with surgical liposuction Laser liposuction is less invasive, involves a shorter recovery period and carries a lower risk of bleeding. It is usually possible to return to everyday activities after a few days, whilst the full effects of the procedure develop gradually over several weeks or months.

Laser liposuction is one of the methods of body fat reduction used in aesthetic medicine, alongside injection lipolysis and cryolipolysis. The choice of the appropriate method depends on the amount of body fat, the treatment area and the patient’s medical suitability.

Low-intensity physical activity can be introduced after about a week, whilst full workouts can be started after 2–3 weeks. The final results become apparent gradually over a period ranging from a few weeks to a few months.
