A new liposuction technique in aesthetic medicine that is getting increasingly popular is Laser Liposuction. It is a good and effective procedure for those wishing to eliminate excess fat that occurs in some areas of the body. This process is a good alternative to conventional liposuction; many people are afraid to undergo a traditional liposuction due to the postoperative discomfort it causes and the slow healing it is associated to. What must be stressed is that this new liposuction technique is best done only if the fat to remove isn’t a large amount.
To talk about the advantages of laser liposuction compared to other techniques, we must be clear what this new liposuction is and what’s its process. First we must explain that this new liposuction uses the beam of a laser to destroy the fat cells, also called adipocytes. The laser comes in contact with the fat and melts it, this process is known as liquefaction; fat or adipose tissue liquefies and becomes an oily substance, which can be easily sucked. The laser beam light is emitted through a tube called a cannula, which is approximately 2mm in diameter and which can be inserted without causing discomfort throughout the area to work. It should be mentioned that the tube is smaller than those used in normal liposuction process.
After the operation, the patient should rest at least two days and follow some indications of her doctor, make no sudden movements, eat a balanced diet for a few days and use moisturizing creams. It is also necessary to use a compression garment to tighten the skin. A lymphatic drainage massage after the operation is essential because it will help to eliminate through urine the fat that has been diluted but couldn’t be removed with the suction. There are other techniques to remove fat from our bodies, all have its purpose, but the difference is focused on the process to get the results. the laser new liposuction procedure is considered one of the most beneficial because of the advantages compared to other techniques, which are not considered bad, but are risky.
