What is Laser Liposuction?

by Saiko James

An advance in technology has seen the introduction of a new form of liposuction hitting our cosmetic surgeons tools kits. I am of course talking about new laser liposuction or as its also known SmartLipo Laser Liposuction. This new procedure uses laser assisted liposuction to achieve amazing weight loss results in record time causing less scaring and much less discomfort to the individual. Some claim it’s revolutionizing the way cosmetic surgery is performed, others see it as a minor advancement. Lets take a look to help you make up your mind.

How Does Laser Liposuction Work?

Smart Laser Liposuction works using roughly the same technique as regular liposuction surgery but has a few distinct differences. Normal liposuction uses a mixture of fluid and anesthetic to break down the fat, the surgery uses a cannula to scrap and vacuum out the loose fat. Liposuction with Laser technology however uses a high powers laser to melt the fat allowing the cannula go glide with ease. The melted fat isn’t sucked out but absorbed by the body and release via the urinary tract.

The best thing about Laser Liposuction is that it produces collagen that actively works to tighten the skin leaving it smoother and much less saggy. It is indeed possible to leave looking like you haven’t undergone any surgery what so ever.

How Much Does Laser Liposuction Cost?

Surprisingly the cost of laser liposuction brings another redeeming point to this procedure as it is actually cheaper than more traditional liposuction. We compared a round of treatment on the abdomen from a number of leading cosmetic surgery clinics and found laser liposuction prices to be generally cheaper. Traditional liposuction cost between $6000 and $7000 and compared to laser liposuction costs of $4800 to $5200. This sort of pricing got us very excited and left us wondering just how long it would be until laser liposuction takes over.

The Advantages of Laser Liposuction

Laser Liposuction carries a few distinct advantages over traditional liposuction. Firstly it causes a minimal of blood loss and trauma decreasing recovery time and pain. No risk from the general anesthetic and a very low rate of other complications. The thermal characteristics of the procedures tighten skin leaving it smoother and firmer. No stitches are needed and it leaves behind the tiniest scar which is almost invisible.

Laser Liposuction Risks

Laser Liposuction Surgery is actually fairly risk free. Unlike normal liposuction, liposuction by laser doesn’t require a general anesthetic only a local anesthetic, which eliminates much of the risk. However no surgery remains risk free. Its worth mentioning that the after affects are much less significant and recovery time is far quicker.
