Lipo-laser Therapy

If you’re looking for firmer skin and a slimmed-down look, Lipo Laser Therapy is an excellent choice. Unlike traditional liposuction, this form of treatment is painless and non-invasive. The goal of Lipo Laser Therapy is to help shrink the body’s fat cells, resulting in a trimmer, slimmer appearance. This new procedure has become quite popular in recent years due to its effective yet easy process. Read on to learn more about this new therapy, which is now offered at Revive Medical Center.

How Does it Work?

The process of Lipo Laser Therapy involves the use of a device consisting of pads specially equipped with laser diodes. These pads are applied directly to your skin, and the lasers penetrate down into the fat cells. When the laser penetrates the fat cells, it creates tiny holes in the membranes of the cells, causing them to release stored fatty acids and stored glycerol and water. Over time, this causes the fat cells to shrink and your body to lose inches. Your body will then flush out any excess fat-cell contents or burn them for energy.

Who Can Have Lipo Laser Therapy?

Much like any other procedure, there are a few guidelines when it comes to qualifying for Lipo Laser Therapy. It is not intended for people who are morbidly obese or need to lose weight for health reasons. However, this procedure is ideal for those who are approximately 25 pounds or less overweight. It’s also great for patients who need to pinpoint a specific problem area to slim down, such as the thighs or stomach area. Patients must be in good health and have good skin elasticity for the procedure to be effective.

Important Facts

Before you schedule your Lipo Laser Therapy, read these essential facts so you can be armed with the right information:

• Your technician will apply the laser pads to the targeted area and will begin applying laser energy for around 10 to 20 minutes.
• The pads could be moved to a different area, and the treatment will begin all over again. This only applies to patients with more than one target area of the body they’d like to treat.
• You will likely need to return for repeat treatments in order to see visible results. Most people, need to return for a total of six to eight treatments.
• Approximately two treatments a week for up to four weeks will often produce the best results.
