The use of lasers for the purpose of fat removal has been around for several years but now it can be used without surgery. There are three treatment systems that offer laser fat removal without surgery and each works in slightly different ways.
LipoLite
This is the only of the three procedures that actually makes an attempt to suction fat from the body. But instead of being another type of liposuction, it is a non surgical laser fat removal that uses a tiny cannula attached to a fiber. The cannula is the suction tube and is inserted into the area where the fat reduction is desired. Once in place a laser beam is fired and travels through the fiber attached to the cannula. The heat from the laser melts the fat in the area and the liquefied fatty substance is removed from the body through the suction tube.
The incision is tiny and there is no anesthesia requires. The plastic surgeon simply rubs novacaine around the treatment area to numb the skin. LipoLite is virtually painless with only minor discomforts following the procedure.
LipoLaser
LipoLaser does not suction the fat from the body. Instead, a small fiber is inserted into the fatty layer under the skin and a cold laser is used to freeze and destroy fat cells. The damaged fat cells are then picked up naturally by the body and removed through the lymphatic system which also eliminates toxins and other bodily waste. A typical patient can lose several inches over the course of a few weeks as the body continues to get rid of the fat cells that have been liquefied by the cold laser.
Zerona Laser
This is the most non invasive laser fat removal treatment since nothing is inserted into the body. In fact, Zerona laser is the most preferred due to its non surgical and painless nature. The patient will spend about 40 minutes lying under a laser machine that emits a cold, low level laser. The laser energy causes the membranes of the fat cells to open up and release the stored fat. It can take six to ten treatment sessions but the results are incredible. The maker of the device guarantees results and if the patient does not lose 3 to 9 inches they will be offered free treatment sessions.
The various non surgical laser fat reduction treatments each have their pros and cons but Zerona laser appears to be very promising. The effectiveness depends on the type of results the patient desires which is why consultation and researching different opinions can be helpful in trying to determine what treatment is best for your goals.
