Laser Lipo is a minimally invasive laser lipolysis procedure where paddles are placed on the skin surface. A cold red laser beam is then transmitted through the skin into the underlying subcutaneous fatty layer. The procedure stimulates the creation of pores in the fatty tissues, facilitating the release of its intracellular content, including water and glycerol, which is subsequently removed by the body’s own lymphatic system.

The treatment is safe, and it does not affect surrounding tissues, such as blood vessels, nerves and skin cells. Following a single Laser Lipo session of 10 or 20 minutes, patients usually experience immediate reduction in fat. The laser treatment is commonly described as a warm sensation with zero discomfort, bruising or recovery time.

The number of recommended sessions may differ, depending on body type, weight, and targeted fat loss objectives, to attain optimum outcomes. The FDA recommends 8 sessions, two per week for four weeks total, to see optimal results.
