LASER LIPOSUCTION IN Tucson
BEFORE & AFTERSlimLipo is a cutting-edge laser lipolysis system which delivers a fat-melting laser wavelength that liquefies fatty pockets for easier removal through a suction device. It can selectively target areas using 924 nm and 975 nm wavelengths to efficiently "melt" fatty tissue while achieving optimum skin retraction. SlimLipo also allows cosmetic surgeons to achieve body contouring with smaller incisions, less bruising, blood loss and deformities.
The procedure can be performed in a clinical or hospital setting and only local anesthesia is required, so the patient is awake and experiences only minimal discomfort during the treatment session. After administering the anesthetic, the cosmetic surgeon inserts a flexible treatment tip that moves easily through fibrous tissues and curved areas. The laser then starts to liquefy fat cells while tightening the surrounding skin. The treatment session takes as little as an hour to complete. No sutures are required so there are no disfiguring and unsightly scars on the treated area. The gentle melting of fat also gives patients smoother results with minimal skin irregularities and contour deformities that are usually visible with traditional liposuction and other laser-assisted lipolysis systems.
The most commonly treated areas include the chin, neck, abdomen, love handles, upper and lower back, inner and outer thighs, buttocks and the upper arms. The best candidates for SlimLipo are patients with a Body Mass Index below 33 and those with fatty deposits that are resistant to both diet and exercise. In most cases, patients are able to return to work within a day or two after treatment. There can be mild swelling but it should subside within a week. Those with pain or feel sore can take over-the-counter analgesics. A compression garment has to be worn during the first week.
Depending on the treated area, you can expect to see improvements on your skin and body contour once the swelling subsides. In general, there will be apparent changes just a couple of weeks after the treatment. The improvements will continue over a six-month period. Note that the fat cells are completely removed but you need to maintain a sensible diet and exercise program to achieve permanent results. Otherwise you may gain excessive weight and the remaining fat can enlarge and redistribute in the body.
