What is Laser Liposuction?
If you want to shape your body, laser liposuction might be an option for you. It is done to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat from the body. Laser liposuction is minimally invasive in nature therefore it does not cause any serious harm to the patient. Like conventional liposuction, Laser Liposuction is also done for aesthetic purposes. It works by penetrating deeply into the skin to destruct the fatty material and to stimulate collagen production which in turn tightens the loose skin. Laser lipo is most commonly done on buttocks, knees, thighs abdomen, hips and chest. A practitioner who is performing a laser liposuction procedure should be experienced and skilled.
How the Procedure is done?
Laser liposuction sessions take about 45 minutes to an hour per area. The length of the session depends upon the number of areas being treated.

- A small incision is created and the laser is passed through it
- Laser breaks and liquefies extra deposits of fats
