Lipo, also known by its full name of liposuction, is a method weight loss achieved through direct fat removal. While traditional liposuction is more effective for those with a normal weight and a reasonable level of skin elasticity, alleviating the risk of saggy skin left behind after the removal of fat deposits under the skin, laser lipo works a little differently.
What is Laser Lipo?
Laser liposuction uses advanced laser and ultrasound technology, to both target and reduce pockets of fat which have settled beneath the skin. Because it is non-invasive and combines the ultrasound technology with the fat dissolving laser, this treatment doesn’t just remove the fat – it also tightens the skin, alleviating one of the biggest concerns that clients have with traditional liposuction.
The end result is skin which is smoother and more contoured, as well as tighter – with the best results for the face achieved following two or three sessions which are two to four weeks apart, while body laser lipo requires up to eight sessions for an effective finish.
Each session is short and pain-free, with the 10 minute session block per area inviting the client to relax while the laser is directed onto the target lipo area. A warming sensation is reported by most clients across the treatment zone, with early results noticeable almost instantly after the session ends.
When is Laser Lipo Most Effective?
Suffice to say, laser lipo isn’t just efficient but it’s effective too – especially in target zones around the face, neck, and jawline which respond especially well to the targeted laser and skin tightening treatment.
Laser lipo is a lifting treatment that targets areas where volume under the skin needs to be distributed evenly to achieve a contoured and well defined shape. Laser Inch Loss is another liposuction-style treatment that tackles stubborn fat in other areas of the body, particularly those resistant to diet and exercise.
Both types of laser lipo use the same technology and combine the potency of the fat dissolving laser with the efficiency of skin tightening within the same treatment, creating a full body reflection that each client can be proud of.
Maintenance sessions can be scheduled as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, staying ahead of changing body shapes and patterns of fat distribution around the body.
Aftercare Requirements – is it right for me?
Laser lipo is popular with clients from all walks of life, combining accessibility and effective, efficient results with a pain-free process and minimal downtime. In terms of aftercare, it’s important that follow-up sessions are booked under the timeline advised by your aesthetician, typically two days apart to ensure optimal results.
Post-treatment care includes wearing compression garments if advised by your aesthetician, avoiding strenuous activities immediately after your session, and eating a diet rich in vitamins and nutrients to ensure you are giving your body the fuel it needs.
