Question:
How is laser lipo different from non-laser types of liposuction? Are the results better?
Answer:
Laser lipo uses a laser to both melt fat and tighten the overlying skin whereas standard liposuction uses a suction technique to aspirate fat while not tightening skin. Laser lipo also may be combined with standard liposuction. However, when this combined approach is used, we find that less regular liposuction is required. Standard liposuction often causes more bruising than laser liposuction. The greatest advantage of laser liposuction is that it does a far superior job at tightening loose skin –that overlies excess fat—than is seen with standard liposuction
