Laser liposuction can remove fat and avoid skin sag too, says study

Laser Liposuction can Remove Fat and Avoid Skin Sag too, says Study Minimally invasive laser liposuction can remove localized fat deposits and provide great skin tightening effects too.

Loose skin, typical of conventional liposuction methods, may not be an issue with laser liposuction. So unlike traditional liposuction, laser liposuction does not need a separate procedure to treat sagging skin. According to article in WebMD, research presented at the annual meeting of the Society of Interventional Radiology in New Orleans allays fears of skin sag after liposuction surgery with its conclusion laser liposuction can zap fat without skin sag.

The researchers observed the extent of skin tightening in nearly 2,200 women and men who received laser liposuction in various body regions, including the belly, thighs and arms. Three months after the procedure, it was found that patients had between 20 percent and 80 percent skin tightening. The research found that the amount of skin tightening with laser liposuction is probably about 50 percent better than what would have been achieved with traditional liposuction. This is because lasers can help increase the elasticity of dermal tissues. According to the study, laser lipolysis also has the potential to remove more fat than traditional liposuction and causes less blood loss because the laser dries the blood vessels.

Smartlipo Triplex – Highly Effective Laser liposuction Technology Approved by the U.S. FDA in 2006, SmartLipo Triplex by Cynosure is one of the most effective laser-enabled liposuction technologies available today. This minimally invasive work station can provide safe and effective body contouring results and great skin tightening effects.

This laser lipolysis workstation is specially designed to tighten the tissues in the area treated. It features a solid state Nd:YAG laser capable of emitting laser radiation in three wavelengths: 1064nm, 1320nm and 1440nm. These wavelengths can be used independently or uniquely blended for superior results. While traditional procedure sucks the fat in solid form using a hollow pen like device, laser lipolysis melts the fat with laser before vacuuming it out with a similar penlike device.

After removing the fat, the plastic surgeon can target the laser with the 1320nm wavelength at the skin tissues to create "artificial burn" that helps in releasing collagen in the area, which causes the skin to tighten. The skin tightens up in the weeks following the procedure, resulting in a smooth, sculpted body contour.

The combination of the 1064 nm and 1320 nm laser wavelengths helps collagen production in the treatment site and aids in the coagulation process as well as tissue tightening.

The extension of skin tightening with Smartlipo depends on factors such as quality of your skin, genetics and your age.

Avoid Botch Ups - Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon Loose, sagging skin can create bad results after liposuction surgery. Moreover, you have to be careful and avoid a botch-up. The only way to do that is to choose your plastic surgeon wisely.

Find a qualified professional who is an expert in performing Smartlipo laser liposuction. With the right surgeon, you wouldn’t have to deal with issues such as infection, subcutaneous bleeding and swelling, scars, blisters, burns and appearance of dents or bumps during or after your procedure.
