How Does It Work?
LaserLipo (laser assisted lipolysis) works by using heat from a flexible optic fiber with a diameter of 1mm, about the size of angel hair pasta. When the light comes on, the show really starts! Heat melts fat cells and reduces them to an oily substance that's suctioned out. The heat seals off blood vessels, which significantly reduces bruising. Another effect of the heat is that it also stimulates collagen production. However an added benefit of LaserLipo is an immediate tightening of the skin around the area where it is applied. The total result is firmer and tighter skin, a trimmer silhouette, and a smoother sculpted look.

What's The Difference Between Laser Lipo and Traditional Liposuction?
LaserLipo is an office procedure that can both melt fat as well as tighten skin with a shorter and more comfortable recovery time. Traditional liposuction is major surgery, usually done under general anesthesia, so there are more risks involved.

LaserLipo removes fat cells by melting them. Cellulite is the result of the inflammation of fibrous rings around fat cells. For that reason, no liposuction will remove cellulite.

Mesotherapy is also an excellent alternative for fat removal for those that have more time or jus don't like the idea of LaserLipo.
