Laser liposuction - what does it involve and what are the results?

Laser liposuction uses laser energy to reduce localised fat and improve skin tone. The procedure allows the silhouette to be modelled without the need for classic surgery, which is why it is chosen by those expecting natural results and a gradual improvement in appearance.

What is laser liposuction?

Laser liposuction is a minimally invasive method of fat reduction, involving the insertion of a thin laser fibre under the skin through a small incision. The procedure begins with a local anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort felt. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and is performed in two stages.

In the first phase, it is applied Nd:YAG laser - its impulses dissolve fat cells, transforming them into a liquid form, while improving the firmness of the deeper layers of the skin by heating of collagen fibres i stimulation of regenerative processes.

The second stage uses Er:YAG laser, which is designed to further firm and smooth the skin. In this way, the treatment not only reduces fat tissue but also improves the quality of the skin.

Effects after treatment

The effects appear gradually, as they include both fat reductionas well as skin remodelling. Once the swelling has subsided, a slimming of selected areas of the body is visible, and over time the silhouette becomes more proportionate.

The skin gradually gains firmness and smoothness. The best results are seen with small and moderate accumulations of fatty tissue.

Who is this treatment for?

The treatment is designed for people of normal weight who have localised accumulation of adipose tissue resistant to diet and physical activity.

The best results are achieved by people with a stable weight who view the procedure as body contouring rather than a method of weight loss.

The most common treatment areas

The most common treatment includes abdomen, thighs, arms, chin and lower back - That is, the areas where fat is most resistant to reduction.

In addition to fat reduction skin tone is also improved, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and natural effect.

Safety and recovery

Laser liposuction is recognised as a a safe medical procedure. Swelling, bruising and tenderness may occur after the procedure, which subsides during healing.

A return to daily activities is usually possible after a few days, while full recovery depends on individual predisposition.
