Liposuction with laser lipolysis

Liposuction with laser lipolysis. (laser lipolysis or lipolaser) Liposuction is one of the most performed aesthetic procedures in the world. It is a well-established technique for removing localized fat, using a cannula, by means of negative pressure aspiration, either by syringe or by surgical aspirator. It is not a procedure indicated for those who want to lose weight. It is contraindicated in obese patients. It can treat several body regions such as: Thigh, Love handles, abdomen, back, flank, double chin, arm and others. There are some newer techniques that aid liposuction such as Vibrolipo, which reduces the physician's effort during the procedure, and Lipolaser, which, with the aid of a laser fiber, destroys fat. The destroyed fat can then be aspirated. We use a 980nm diode laser for lipolysis. The anesthesia can range from local, and local with sedation for small areas, to general anesthesia, but always in a surgical environment. Scars are minimal, just enough for cannula access. It is a rapid hospitalization with discharge even on the same day. Compared to traditional liposuction, the advantages of laser lipolysis are:

• less invasive, with a smaller access orifice
• coagulation of blood vessels, with less risk of bleeding and the formation of hematomas and collections
• much faster recovery

In fact, research with live models has already demonstrated a stimulation of collagen deposition (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21242431) as well as an improvement in skin laxity in the treatment of the “double chin” has already been shown (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25968162)
