What is laser lipolysis or laser liposuction?
What is Laser Lipolysis?
It is the process of breaking down fat tissue using laser energy. In addition, it has the capacity to cauterize small vessels, stimulate collagen, and remodel. It is known as photoacoustic, photothermal, and photomechanical effects.
What happens to the fat tissue broken down by laser lipolysis?
The fragmented fat tissue is extracted with liposuction. Not much damaged fat is left behind. The body cannot eliminate too much damaged fat, and hardness, fat cysts may form.
Can the fat removed by laser lipolysis be used for injection purposes?
The fat obtained with this technique cannot be used because it is damaged.
Is recovery after laser lipolysis different from liposuction?
With the right laser combinations, it is generally faster and more comfortable.
What are the complications of laser lipolysis?
The most important complication specific to laser lipolysis is thermal damage to the skin.
Which areas are suitable for laser lipolysis?
Previously liposuctioned areas, especially male fat known as fibrous areas, back and chest are ideal.
Can laser lipolysis be applied to every type of tissue?
Unlike liposuction, it can be applied to all types of tissue. However, the best results are obtained in quality tissue. A smooth result cannot be achieved in tissues with compromised quality. Tissue with dimples, filled with stretch marks, cellulite, and impaired tone falls into this group.
Does tightening occur with laser lipolysis?
Different studies have different results. To be realistic, the tightening achieved is low.
What are the types of laser lipolysis?
There are different types of lasers according to wavelength. The effect of each wavelength is different. Therefore, instead of using a single laser in all conditions, combinations are more appropriate. The laser with a 924 wavelength is the most effective for fat tissue but has weak tightening properties. The laser with a 1064 wavelength penetrates tissue more easily and has a greater tightening effect, but its fat-breaking effect is low. The 1320 is very effective on fat and is preferred for the neck, inner legs, and arms because its dispersion effect within the tissue is controlled. The 1444 is a new and promising type.
What are the pros and cons compared to liposuction?
Perspective determines the result, not the device. As a con, if tissue temperature is not controlled, it can cause thermal damage to the skin.
What is neocollagenesis in laser lipolysis?
It is the remodeling of collagen through the thermal stimulus created by the laser. This event does not occur suddenly, it requires months. It should be noted that such effects are temporary.
