Laser lipo machine is an alternative to more invasive fat reduction treatments like tumescent liposuction, which is used to liquefy and suction unwanted fat away from the body. Laser lipo works by using low-level laser light to shrink fat cells without killing them. This procedure is typically performed in a doctor’s office, with the patient lying down while the technician applies paddle-like pads to the area of concern. During the session, the laser pads emit low-level laser light that penetrates the skin to reach fat cells. The fat cells liquefy and break apart, with the fatty acids being naturally flushed from the body via the lymphatic system.
The process is completely non-invasive, with no bruising or scarring and requires no anesthesia. It takes only about 30 minutes to complete, and sessions can be repeated as needed for desired results.
During the treatment, patients feel little to no discomfort and the process is similar to having a hot stone massage. However, patients should be sure to drink plenty of water before and after the treatment as the laser causes fat cells to release their contents into the bloodstream. This can cause dehydration if not enough water is consumed beforehand.
Another benefit of laser lipo is that it can be combined with ultrasound cavitation for more effective results. The ultrasound wave vibrations are known to soften the fat cells prior to laser lipo and help to even out the body’s shape afterward. This combination also reduces the recovery time between treatment sessions and increases the overall efficacy of the laser lipo machine.
Aside from being safe, laser lipo is an effective way to get rid of stubborn belly fat that has accumulated in the flanks, abdomen, thighs, and upper body despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. This treatment is ideal for men and women who are tired of dealing with love handles or muffin tops and want to refine their body shape.
In addition to helping slim down the waist, this treatment can help improve muscle tone, suppress appetite, boost energy levels, and decrease inflammation. The fat cell-shrinking laser also helps to firm and tighten the skin.
It is recommended to avoid laser lipo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the reduction of large numbers of fat cells can interfere with hormone function and metabolism. The treatment is also not advised for people with certain medical conditions, including diabetes and heart disease, or if you are taking blood thinners.
