Laser liposuction is one of the most effective popular modern procedures in the cosmetology industry for body shape correction to eliminate excess fat, both in women and men of different ages. The technique is relatively new, subject to all recommendations, this method of getting rid of excess weight will not bring negative consequences for the body.

Laser liposuction – what is this procedure, essence and features

Laser liposuction is a technique in which excess body fat is destroyed with a laser. This procedure can be performed on absolutely all parts of the body. Most often, it is performed in the thighs, abdomen, sides, cheeks and chin.

The procedure is performed by an optical fiber probe. It is installed at the site of tissue incision, and then contributes to the desired direction of the laser. The laser directs fat deposits into the bloodstream, so they reach the liver, where they are completely neutralized.

This eliminates the likelihood of vascular injury, which is possible during similar operations. Under the action of the laser, the cells are heated, which contributes to enhanced collagen synthesis. Therefore, the skin does not sag, thanks to collagen, it retains its elasticity.

The technique is performed without the use of general anesthesia, it does not require a long rehabilitation period. The results from the procedure are not immediately noticeable, the fat is completely split within 1-2 months.

Types of Laser Liposuction

This type of liposuction has a second name – lipolysis.

Compared with other types of liposuction, it has several advantages:

1. Ultrasonic The effect is achieved by exposure to ultrasound, which is introduced into the skin incisions. A special solution enters the fiber, which is absorbed by fat cells. Then there is their destruction due to ultrasound.
2. Ultrasonic non-surgical. Focused ultrasound destroys the membranes of fat cells, and no cuts are made on the skin. The method is similar to a laser, as fat cells also enter the liver, where they are further neutralized. After this, fat deposits are excreted naturally.
3. Water jet. The result is achieved by directing the flow of special fluid under pressure to the skin. The composition of this solution includes vasoconstrictor components, as well as painkillers. Fat cells detach from the connective tissue without any damage.
4. Radio frequency. The newest method of liposuction, it is carried out using radio wave exposure. Fat cells warm up to the required temperature, after which they are removed from the body. Collagen production also occurs in the process. The skin is tightened, and the extra pounds disappear.

Pros and cons of each method. Only a doctor can choose a method of getting rid of body fat, having studied all possible contraindications. Before the procedure, you may need to undergo a certain diagnosis.

Laser devices

For laser correction of the figure, special devices for liposuction are used, there are several varieties of them. All of them differ among themselves not only in their price category, but also in characteristics.

Consider the most popular:

1. Smartlipo TriPlex. One of the most popular devices used for laser figure correction. It is made in the USA. It is used to eliminate deep fat deposits, localized absolutely in any part of the body. The device is absolutely safe, allows you to achieve quick results, the effect becomes noticeable after 1 procedure. The average cost of $ 2040.
2. QuadroStar. Diode laser manufactured in Germany. It features high power and a wide spectrum of action. It is used not only for lipolysis, but also for the treatment of varicose veins, as well as for lifting the epidermis. The device itself costs an average of $ 2720., The procedure in the cabin will cost about $ 544 – $ 680.
3. LipoContour. This device allows you to affect the skin in a non-invasive way, so this is one of the most gentle and safe ways. The device combines not only the ability to laser liposuction, but also radio wave exposure and vacuum massage. Due to this, the epidermis is smoothed and becomes elastic. The device costs an average of $ 4760. The procedure in the cabin will cost around $ 816.

Correctly select the device for the procedure can only be a specialist.

It should take into account the needs of the patient, as well as the features of the device itself.

The mechanism of action on adipose tissue

Laser liposuction acts on adipose tissue using ultra-thin and focused light rays. The specialist individually in each case selects the length of the rays and their power.

The laser apparatus destroys the integrity of the membranes of fat cells. Fat deposits turn into liquid, through the bloodstream or lymph they enter the liver, where they are completely processed. There is also an artificial way to remove them. For this, an additional vacuum apparatus is used, which sucks out excess liquid.

The laser at the same time increases the process of collagen synthesis, due to this the skin does not sag during the loss of excess weight, it becomes toned and elastic. The microrelief of the skin is smoothed, which contributes to the disappearance of cellulite.

Lipolysis can be external and internal. External implies a completely non-surgical effect with the help of a special nozzle, which is attached to the skin. Cuts and punctures are not used with this method, so the technique is completely safe. The skin is broken with a special thin needle, but such an intervention does not even give the patient uncomfortable sensations.

Internal lipolysis is partially surgical. In this case, an incision is made, into the cavity of which a cannula is inserted. It is she who acts as a conductor for the laser. This method is the most traumatic, but it allows you to achieve the desired result from the first procedure. It is used even with very deep body fat.

Features of conducting in men and women

Laser liposuction is suitable for both men and women. There are no fundamental differences in the methodology, however,
in men the procedure is complicated by the anatomical features of the structure. Fat deposits in men are the most fibrous, they have a dense texture, so they are much less susceptible to laser exposure.

If lipolysis is performed using partial surgical intervention, then the release of fat cells in a natural way takes longer. After the introduction of a special cannula and laser exposure, men may need about 3 months to notice the results. The duration of this period is individual for each, as it depends on the characteristics of the body and the texture of body fat.

Also , men are several times more likely to form scarring and redness at the sites of the scar. This is due to the fact that men have a higher pressure, which rises under the influence of thermal laser exposure.

Liposuction in women is much faster. Fat in women has the easiest consistency, the texture of fat cells is not fibrous. Such cells are easily processed in the liver, the cleavage process is quite fast. Results become noticeable within 1 month.

Advantages of the procedure over analogues

This method of eliminating body fat has a number of advantages. Among similar methods, many patients prefer laser surgery.

The following positive aspects are distinguished:

1. Laser liposuction is considered one of the less traumatic methods. Surgical intervention is minimal, so the likelihood of developing an inflammatory process or suppuration is extremely small.
2. During the procedure, the production of own collagen increases, so the skin becomes taut and elastic, cellulite becomes less pronounced. With other methods of losing weight, the risk of sagging and sagging skin is very high.
3. A small chance of scarring. Since the incision is small, scars after manipulation remain extremely rare.
4. The technique involves the removal of certain fat cells, which makes it possible to lose weight locally.
5. The procedure does not require a long rehabilitation period. Under normal health conditions, the patient’s health remains normal.
6. Laser liposuction is considered one of the most painless methods, therefore, does not require general anesthesia.

The technique has practically no contraindications, it is easily tolerated by patients.

Of the disadvantages, only high cost is distinguished, but the result justifies it.

Body areas on which liposuction is performed

Laser correction of body fat can be performed on any part of the body; specialists count more than 20 areas of liposuction. The technique is selected individually for each patient, taking into account its anatomical features.

Laser removal of body fat has its own characteristics depending on the area of conduct:

1. Legs and stomach. On the legs, the procedure can be performed not only in the hips, but also in the knees and lower legs. The usual methods of losing weight rarely help to get rid of fat in these areas, so people resort to methods of liposuction. Removing fat from the legs does not start the process of general weight loss, since the metabolic processes remain intact. Liposuction helps shape the silhouette of the legs. The non-surgical laser method is most often used in this area . The average duration of the procedure is 60-80 minutes.
   
2. Chin, face and neck. Excess body fat in the face and neck is quite common. Diet and sports in this matter are not very effective, fat from this area does not respond well to standard methods of losing weight. Liposuction in these areas is absolutely safe, it is carried out very quickly. Intervention is performed under local anesthesia. The incision can be made from the outside of the face, as well as from the mouth. A special tube is introduced with the help of which excess fat is extracted. The average duration of the procedure is 20-60 minutes.

The method of laser liposuction is selected individually. If body fat is in the deep layers, then you can not do without a surgical incision. If there is a lot of fat in the abdomen and it is localized in the intestinal, then laser liposuction will not give the desired result.

What results should be expected

Laser liposuction is an effective way to lose weight. But the results with this method are not immediately noticeable.
