Laser Liposuction
Lipolase? What is it all about.
Well, let me tell you, lipolase or laser assisted liposuction is a big deal at the Center for Facial Plastic Surgery and Laser Skin Care. There are many versions of it out there like smart lipo, lipotherm, lipoform, but in principal they are all realy very much the same. The concept is to dissolve fat with a fine fiberoptic laser fiber. This fiber is inserted through a tinny tube or cannula which is then tunneled underneath the skin. Essentially, the laser enables the surgeon to accomplish more with less. It facilitates rapid in office procedures. We use smaller cannula than with conventional liposuction. But, it is not only about dissolving fat, it also is about shrinking or tightening skin. Tightening of the skin is accomplished through the controlled heating of the underlying dermis. This is great for small areas of the face , neck, and arms, as well as large areas of the body, in some instances eliminating the need for surgery. The recovery is rapid, and the results continue to improve gradually over a period of weeks to months.
