Five Reasons to Consider Laser Liposuction

For those considering body contouring, laser liposuction in NYC is a popular plastic surgery option to consider. This procedure can help you achieve a well-shaped body by removing unwanted fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. It offers patients a safer, more effective, and less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction. Its precision, minimal downtime, skin tightening benefits, versatility, safety, and efficacy have made it a preferred choice for individuals looking to achieve a slimmer and more contoured appearance. 

Laser liposuction is performed using the FDA-approved Smartlipo Triplex laser workstation which features three unique laser wavelengths – 1064 nm, 1320 nm and 1440 nm – that target fat deposits without affecting the surrounding tissues. To be a good candidate for this laser liposuction treatment, you must be in good health and close to your ideal weight, but have fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates also have good skin tone with only mild to moderate laxity. Importantly, you should have a clear idea about what the procedure involves before going ahead with it.

Plastic surgeons may recommend wearing a compression garment to ease the healing process and support the area treated.

Proven skin tightening effects

Along with providing effective fat removal, laser-assisted liposuction also stimulates collagen production and provides excellent skin-tightening benefits. The heat simultaneously causes the tissues to contract, leaving the skin tighter and smoother.
