Losing weight has never been an easy task. Have you ever considered liposuction. There have been many side effects associated with the procedure, such as pain and swelling. Nobody is a fan of those symptoms. If you are looking for all the benefits, with much fewer side effects, you may want to look into laser assisted liposuction. This combination of technologies has helped many people get rid of excess fat, while dramatically increasing recovery time and decreasing side effects.

The basic premise behind liposuction is simply sucking fat cells out from your body. The suction happens through small cuts made in your body, and a tube being inserted to suck the fat out. The tube is somewhat like a mini vacuum cleaner made for fat. Once the fat …show more content…

A very simple way of explaining how laser assisted liposuction works is that the doctors use the lasers to heat the fat cells up. The heat causes the fat cells to melt and become more liquid. With the fat cells in liquid form, they are much easier to suck up and pump out of the body. The ones that do not get sucked up get processed through the liver and peed out.

A great advantage to laser assisted liposuction is that probe that is inserted into the skin is about a quarter of the size of a traditional liposuction probe. This means that the incisions and scarring from the procedure will be much less than traditional liposuction. The laser heats up and melts the fat. From there, the vacuum sucks it away. The one known side effect of the procedure is that the body produces collagen. The funny thing is that collagen is what keeps the skin tight and prevents it from sagging. The laser also cauterizes the wounds, which makes for less swelling, and a faster recovery
