Procedure and Benefits of Laser Liposuction

Laser liposuction is a type of liposuction that uses laser energy to liquefy fat before it is removed from the body. The procedure is also known as laser-assisted liposuction, laser lipolysis, or laser lipo.

During laser liposuction, a small cannula (a thin tube) is inserted into the targeted area through a small incision. The cannula emits laser energy that heats and liquefies the fat cells, making them easier to remove. The liquefied fat is then suctioned out of the body through the cannula.

One of the benefits of laser liposuction is that it can help to tighten the skin in the treated area. The laser energy stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that gives the skin its elasticity and firmness. This can lead to a smoother, tighter appearance in the treated area.
