How Laser Lipolysis Helps with Fat Removal Without Invasive Surgery

 

Laser lipolysis, aka body lipolysis, is a form of body contouring for smaller fat deposits. Unlike liposuction, it removes fat cells from your body without surgical intervention, and its recovery is much shorter and less painful.

First, There Was: Traditional Liposuction

The science behind traditional liposuction is quite simple, but its execution is anything but. This major, not to mention painful surgery, requires the patient to be put under general anesthesia. 

 

Once they’ve gone under, the surgeon doesn’t proceed with an incision. Instead, they insert instruments into the fat tissue, break down fat cells, and use a tube to suck them out of the body. Recovering from liposuction isn’t easy; it could take months if the recipient experiences post-surgical complications. The procedure also requires a lot of long-term/lifetime care and precaution.

Then There Was: Laser Lipolysis

The first laser lipolysis was conducted in 1994, which is quite recent in this line of work. That said, it has come a long way since the ’90s and has developed enough to make the shift from an operation theater to a doctor’s office. Speaking of, book your first procedure with Dr. Alison Levitt, M.D., who’s board certified in family medicine and a functional medicine expert. 

 

Laser lipolysis takes up to 30 minutes, requires zero downtime for recovery, and can be performed without anesthesia. It’s non-invasive, using heat instead of physical objects to breach your skin barrier. This heat is administered through paddle-like implements that break and kill the fat cells underneath.

 

Once the cells are dead, your body absorbs them, but not right away. It could take up to a month or more to see the difference. Some people may also require more than one treatment to optimize the fat loss around the belly, thighs, back, and flanks.

Now There Is (Also): Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Laser-assisted liposuction isn’t as invasive as traditional liposuction and requires laser technology for the procedure. The patient is awake during the procedure. The doctor may only administer local anesthesia to the incision site, make the incision, and melt fat cells with a laser.
