Despite the fact that we don’t provide laser-based fat reduction at Sood Center, we believe it is important for people to understand how the various technologies work when it comes to liposuction strategies.
Lasers are one option for breaking up fat deposits before they are suctioned away during liposuction. Laser liposuction or laser lipolysis is a type of fat reduction treatment that is often considered to be less invasive than traditional liposuction. The goal of this procedure is to liquefy stubborn fat by heating it with powerful beams of focused light, then removing the liquefied fat through a small incision. Laser lipo may also stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. If you are searching for a method to get rid of stubborn fat deposits, and other techniques such as diet and exercise haven’t worked, you may be considering this fat removal laser treatment.
Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound instead of laser light to accomplish the fat liquification. Vaser stands for “vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance.” It uses powerful ultrasound waves to help break up fat cells.
These two techniques have many of the same risks and side effects as traditional liposuction, but are known for causing less trauma to the tissues than manual destruction of the fat cells with a cannula.
Dr. Mohit Sood can use VersaJet (a system that delivers a powerful stream of saline) or PAL (known as “power-assisted liposuction,” which uses a vibrating cannula) to loosen fat cells for removal.
Liposuction can reduce stubborn fat on several areas of the body. For instance, abdominal liposuction or belly liposuction for stomach fat removal can give you a slimmer stomach area, while chin lipo or neck liposuction helps to remove fat below the chin, arm lipo reduces excess fat from the arms (ask about arm lipo before-and-after photos), and thigh liposuction can provide slimmer, more shapely thighs. Back liposuction, lipo for love handles, and more is available.
Thinking beyond laser lipo? In addition to traditional liposuction, Sood Center also provides other types of cosmetic surgery procedures to enhance your upper and lower body, such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and Brazilian butt lift surgery. When combined with liposuction, these procedures can improve the balance of your body shape. For instance, combining liposuction and tummy tuck surgery is a great way to sculpt the midsection area. You can also ask us about non-invasive liposuction alternatives.
