How Laser Liposuction Works

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that people have been doing for years. However, studies are starting to show that the removal of fat cells can have unintended consequences such as having new fat cells appear in other parts of the body. Laser liposuction reduces the size of the fat cells in your body instead of removing them. Here is what you can expect to happen at a typical session for laser liposuction:

•    Arrive at the session and remove clothing that covers the areas you want treated.
•    Lay on the table while the lasers get pointed at the correct treatment areas.
•    Relax for 20 to 40 minutes while the lasers puncture holes in the targeted fat cells.
•    Get dressed and continue the rest of your day.

Laser liposuction is noninvasive and painless. Sessions last approximately 30 minutes which means it is a procedure that you could easily have done on your lunch break. The lasers are cold, which means there will be no down time afterwards. There is no tenderness or swelling so it is easy to just jump back into the routine of your day immediately following the procedure.

It is important to note that laser liposuction does not do all the work for you. For best results, you need to also exercise, eat an appropriate diet and drink plenty of water. For more information on laser liposuction in Reno, click here.
