The purpose of lipo, as with any body contouring treatment, is to remove fat, not lose weight. If you are seeking a treatment that will enable you to lose 25 or 50 pounds, this is not the treatment for them. Even if you are still trying to lose weight, you can get this treatment.

Laser lipo is considered a safe procedure for many people. If you're looking for a way to get rid of excess fat, you may be a suitable candidate. Laser lipo is typically used for removing fat from the stomach, face, thighs, calves, hips, and back.

On average, laser lipo sessions take about one hour per area. They may last a little longer depending on the area receiving the procedure. You may see results within about a week after your session, but results will gradually appear over two to six months. You should only need one treatment to experience full results.

No. Liposuction does not cause sagging skin. What liposuction does is remove the volume beneath skin by eliminating excess fatty tissue. When this is done, though, skin that does not have good laxity doe not bounce back and retract the way one might like.

In three to six months, you should expect to see the results you were hoping for. Not only will the swelling have run its course, but your skin will have tightened and bounced back as well. A big part of laser liposuction's appeal is that the risk of loose, saggy skin is diminished.
