There are many ways to lose weight - diet, exercise, individual nutrition system, gym training, jogging, and much more. It is enough to be motivated and persistent to achieve the desired weight. However, your body shape might be far from ideal even after losing those pounds. You may still have fat deposits in some places. But this should not despair you. There is an easy solution to this problem called laser liposuction. It is a revolutionary laser system that permanently removes body fat. Currently, laser liposuction is gaining popularity in Singapore and worldwide because it has a number of advantages over traditional liposuction. The whole procedure takes about an hour with minimal risk of side effects.
Laser lipolysis is a minimally invasive fat removal method that uses heat to melt fat. The laser energy penetrates below the surface of the skin and directly affects the fat cell membranes by changing their permeability and structure. This procedure reduces the size of the fat cell to begin the release of intracellular fat. Fatty triglycerides leak through the destroyed cell membranes into the intercellular space, where they gradually pass through the natural metabolic functions to the lymph without causing harmful physiological effects. This process leads to a fat reduction in accumulated adipose tissue.
The procedure is normally performed under local anaesthesia. The duration depends on the number of treated areas and the amount of adipose tissue that needs to be removed.
Laser liposuction is the best solution to remove excess fat from small areas such as inner and outer thighs, knees, neck, upper arms, buttocks, ankles, and so on. The procedure can be performed on almost any part of the body. It is commonly done for the face - cheeks, and chin. Laser chin liposuction helps to get rid of fat deposits in this hard-to-reach area, as well as reduce the amount of "extra" skin. Laser liposuction of the cheeks removes fat cells by making small holes (no more than 1 mm), which ensures the absence of burns on the face and other skin lesions.
Laser liposuction of the abdomen allows you to adjust the contours of the body, giving them the desired appearance. After such liposuction, it is necessary to wear slimming underwear and follow a special diet for two or three weeks.
Laser lipo can be done for thighs and knees. It can significantly reduce the "rolls" above the knees.
It is done under local anaesthesia, there is no pain during the manipulation, no hospital stay as well.
Laser lipolysis is a minimally invasive fat reduction procedure. The lasers are painless and are applied to the treatment area for about twenty minutes in each series. There are no incisions, general anaesthesia, or medication. The patient relaxes and feels almost nothing during the procedure, it may even be pleasant. You may feel mild discomfort after the procedure that will go down by the end of the first week.
Laser liposuction is good because it does not require a long time to recover. Basically you can return to work straight away. However, it is better to rest at least the first day because it will help your body to heal.
According to researches, the results of liposuction are noticeable almost immediately, in addition, there are no irregularities, scars, and damages of the skin due to the laser effect. In the future, no accumulation of fat is observed at the sites of the procedure.
Any procedure that you do whether it is laser or surgery or even just minor giving medication there is always some sort of side effect that you have to watch out for. With laser lipo, there is minimal chance of side effects as it uses a low-level diode to safely penetrate the skin. Problems after the procedure may include infection, bruising, or tenderness. The complications that are associated with traditional liposuction are much less and minimized compared to the laser-assisted liposuction.
The final result becomes completely visible by the end of the 1st, or 2nd months, although it is immediately noticeable that the body is more shaped in the respective areas. Connective tissue develops at the site where the fat is removed, the skin shrinks and fat cells no longer accumulate there.
All patients with localized fat deposits are suitable. The operation is suitable for both women and men. The main purpose of this procedure is to eliminate fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, not to lose weight. Therefore, as a final result, you can expect a better silhouette, not weight loss. If you are overweight, you must first lose weight. In particular, liposuction gives really good results on people that are young as their skin recoil and respond appropriately.
You shouldn't go to laser lipo if you are pregnant or if you are breastfeeding.
You will definitely reduce the circumference after laser lipolysis but it is difficult to say how many inches you will lose. This is individual for each person and depends on how much fat already exists. Most people reduce about 6 inches after one therapy, but additional procedures are recommended to permanently reduce the circumference.
In the first week, there is a change in fat cells, in the second week - a decrease in the volume of fat cells and in the third week - retention of the achieved results. Most technicians recommend six to eight treatments to see optimal results.
You may be wondering: "Will my fat come back after laser liposuction?" Laser liposuction removes the number of fat cells that can't regain. But that's not to say that the remaining fat cells couldn't become larger in size. It is possible if you don't pay attention to the doctor's instructions and your lifestyle. When you gain weight you are gaining the size of each fat cell, not the number. So liposuction is permanent, however, if you want to get the best outcome you also need to comply with better lifestyle habits and post-op instructions.
Some of the advantages of the procedure include:
As you probably know there are many fat removal procedures - both surgical and non-surgical. When it comes to minimally invasive methods you may hear about both Vaser liposuction and Laser liposuction. They sound almost the same and have almost the same effect but still have their differences.
Laser lipo technology makes very tiny incisions not much bigger than 1 mm and inserts some very tiny cannulas and then thereby it melts the fat by going in and out very gently through the other surface of the skin. After the laser energy is applied the fat is very gently sucked out. The laser energy also helps to retract and tighten the skin so it gives you a great result as far as tightening that skin up after removal of the fat.
Unlike Laser technology, the Vaser lipo utilizes ultrasonic energy. The fat that is seated inside of the body has certain compartments. The Vaser energy helps to release those compartments and then very carefully draw the fat away from them. The ultrasonic energy also helps to tighten up the skin.
As you can see both fat removal procedures have almost the same effect on the body. However, Vaser is more appropriate for a large amount of fat while laser lipo is more appropriate for smaller quantities of fat.
The cost of laser liposuction normally depends on the clinic you chose, the surgeon's fee, and the area that you want to be treated. For example, a large area such as a buttock will be more expensive than smaller ones like neck or arms. The average cost of laser lipo is around $5000.
With laser lipo it's not just about removing the fat it is about shaping it and converting your body shape from that maybe pear-shaped or apple-shaped into a nice hourglass shape or in men - from endomorph to maybe a mesomorph, or an ectomorph. It is all about shaping and toning.
And remember, the laser can destroy the fat cells, permanently reduce the circumference, and smooth the skin, but if you want to maintain long-term results, it is necessary to follow a certain diet and exercise regime. It is good to do a maintenance procedure at least once a month.
