Laser Lipo
Laser lipo, also known as laser lipolysis, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses low-level laser energy to target and break down fat cells beneath the skin. The fat is then naturally processed and eliminated by the body, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured appearance.
Is laser lipo painful?
No, it is generally pain-free. Most people describe it as a warm sensation during the procedure. There’s no need for anesthesia, and you can return to your normal activities right after the treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your body goals and the area being treated. Typically, 6-12 sessions are recommended for optimal results, with visible changes often seen after just a few sessions.
How long does each session take?
A fat cavitation session takes 30 minutes per area. It’s a quick and convenient option that fits easily into your schedule.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and may include slight redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, but these usually subside within a few hours. Some people might experience mild thirst or fatigue after the treatment as the body processes the broken-down fat.
Is laser lipo permanent?
Laser Lipo can provide long-lasting results, especially when paired with a healthy diet and regular exercise. However, it’s important to maintain a balanced lifestyle to prevent new fat cells from forming.
What areas of the body can be treated?
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and love handles.
What should I do before and after the treatment?
Before the treatment, it’s important to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and skip alcohol for 24 hours. After the session, continue drinking plenty of water to help flush out the fat cells and stick to a healthy diet for the best results.
Can laser lipo be combined with other treatments?
Yes, laser lipo can be combined with other treatments like RF skin tightening or cellulite reduction for enhanced results. Your practitioner can recommend the best combination based on your goals.
Who cannot have Laser Lipo treatments?
Laser Lipo is generally safe, but there are certain contraindications where the treatment may not be suitable or could pose a risk.
