The Advantages of the New Liposuction Technique Laser Lipolysis

The new liposuction method Laserlipolysis is less aggressive than any other more traditional methods and incorporates several advantages. For example, a less painful postoperative period and faster and less downtime for patients. However, it is not indicated in all cases, but only for specific parts of the body. Another important advantage compared to traditional liposuction methods is that while the fat is being melted the collagen fibers in the skin are being heated so an entirely new collagen is created, to regenerate skin and stimulate the tissues.

In any case, this type of new liposuction technique achieves better results than other more invasive liposuction as the creation of new collagen results in greater tension and reaffirmation of the skin and therefore better cosmetic results. Furthermore patients experience less downtime and can resume normal activities in a short time. For example if a person undergo this procedure on the weekend, on Monday she may return to work.

Laser Liposuction is usually performed under local or epidural anesthesia, depending on the area being treated. Laserlipolysis can last from one to three (or more) hours, depending on the area and the amount of fat to be removed. Not being an invasive treatment for the patient, the postoperative pain will be less than those of traditional liposuction. The same occurs with inflammation, as it is not submitted to hard manipulation, the affected area will swell less.

It is important to know that this type of liposuction is suitable for specific areas of the body such as eyelids, inside of arms, hips or areas that are under the buttocks, but is not indicated to remove large volumes of fat.

Disadvantages of laser liposuction

The disadvantage of laser liposuction is that if you want to do a liposculpture, the fat suctioned with the laser technique can not be inserted back into other parts of the body.

Contraindications for laser liposuction

This method is contraindicated in patients with clotting problems, with a systemic disease or for those with intolerance to anesthetics. The use of laser lipolysis is a new liposuction technique but the results are already promising; it can treat the wanted area with the least possible downtime.
