Laser Sculpture a Revolutionary Procedure

Laser Sculpture is a term used to describe the lypolysis or modernized liposuction procedure when it is performed with Laser lipo equipment and instruments.

More women and men ask for laser sculpture procedures each year to look and feel better about themselves.

Body contouring procedures and laser sculpture techniques continue to grow in popularity, making laser liposuction the most requested cosmetic surgery performed today. Using an even higher-powered laser, laser sculpture is the newest Laser body sculpting procedure, which requires less down time and has fewer side effects than traditional liposuction.

Advances in technology make laser sculpture a state-of-the-art technique in liposuction. Laser sculpting is cutting-edge, highly effective method of removing fat from various regions of the body to improve fitness and physical appearance. It is very safe and effective procedure that has improved in the efficiencies.

Historically, lasers have been routinely used in dental procedures, Lasik eye surgery, reconstructive work and cosmetic procedures, including advanced liposuction. The laser technology is what sets laser sculpture apart from its competition.

The word "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Precise and safe, today's medical-grade lasers work by creating a powerful light beam that is adjusted to a specific frequency range to liquefy or melt the fat, before it is removed. laser sculpture or laser liposuction is safe and supported by extensive clinical research and studies.

Laser sculpture differs slightly than traditional liposuction. With Laser assisted lipolysis, the laser is calibrated to liquefy fat deposits through the top layers of the patient's skin. The laser sculpture laser actually ruptures fat cells, resulting in an oily, liquid substance, which is then removed through a small suction device (called a cannula or micro-cannula) inserted through a tiny incision in the skin. This small laser can also seal blood vessels as it zaps fat, so there is less swelling, bleeding and bruising than with traditional liposuction.

Each manufacturer of the Laser Lipolysis Systems and body sculpting stations offer different machines and instruments. Here is a list of the various types of lasers used to remove unwanted fat and contour the body:

• Smartlipo™
• Smartlipo MPX™
• CoolLipo™
• ProLipo™
• ProLipo Plus™
• LipoLite™
• Lipotherme™
• LipoControl™
• SlimLipo™

With laser assisted liposculpture, research has shown that little, if any, fat is reabsorbed back into the body. The laser sculpture procedure allows patients to see faster results with fewer complications. In addition, with laser sculpture, patients are administered a local anesthetic only, unlike traditional liposuction which requires general anesthesia. Allowing the patient to be awake during the procedure offers added safety and fewer post operative complications. Laser sculpture is the latest cutting-edge laser body sculpting procedure that combines both safety and effectiveness for the patient.

Laser Sculpture: Safe and Effective

Today's lasers are some of the safest procedures available to remove stubborn, unwanted pockets of fat. There are several reasons laser sculpture is considered much safer: First, doctors use only local anesthetic in almost all cases when performing laser liposculpture. Second, patients remain awake and coherent during the surgery, and they feel no pain. This eliminates the high risks associated with general anesthesia. The tumescent technique used in most laser procedures, which reduces blood loss to the bare minimum. The small instruments called cannulas used in laser sculpture surgery require only the tiniest of incisions, greatly lowering the risk of infection and bruising.

Laser Sculpture Defines Body Contours

Another testimonial from a happy Laser Sculpture patient

"After having two children, gaining weight and dieting to try and lose the excess bulges, I got a mommy makeover and I finally got my waist back.”

Laser Sculpture is Simple

Laser sculpture is typically an elective procedure. It is considered an outpatient procedure, with most surgeries taking place in your physician's clinic or office. Aside from the advances in the equipment and technology, another great aspect of the procedure is that patients remain awake and even alert throughout the procedure. Local anesthetics are used, in combination with light sedation, depending. Patients can walk around shortly after the procedure and perform lighter functions while the anesthetic wears off. The body will absorb and eliminate the anesthetic and tumescent fluid within a day or two. Most patients can return to work and their normal routines within 1-5 days. The time needed to recover is correlated with the number or areas treated and the amount of fat removed from the body. Larger areas or multiple treated areas require a day or two more for recovery.

Another satisfied patient – here is what he had to say after his chin procedure. "I was really surprised at how good I felt after having laser sculpture surgery, because I could walk, talk, eat and function, and I was able to return to work the next day."

Laser Sculpture is Permanent

Our bodies produce fat in a specific way. Once fat cells are removed from an area, they do not grow back or reproduce. The nice thing about laser surgery is that once the fat cells are removed, they are gone, for good. Other forms of weight loss surgery will have different outcomes, but laser sculpting has immediate and permanent results. Adults do not generate new fat cells; when adults gain weight, current fat cells may expand or grow in diameter. During laser lipo surgery, the laser melts away the fatty cells and tissue, then the surgeon removes them from the body. When fat cells are removed through laser sculpture, the patient is permanently free of the removed fat cells. To increase longevity of the treatment and outcome, it is best to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. This greatly improves long term effects.

One laser sculpture patient explains the benefit to her and her husband "I felt so much better about my self and my body after the procedure. It really impacted my self esteem. My husband commented on the change in my attitude and my confidence – and he really liked my new shape.”

Introduction to Laser Sculpture - Laser Lipo History

Laser sculpture became popular after tumescent liposuction grew in popularity and when SmartLipo™ was introduced to the market. Since then, different laser technologies have increased consumer interest in “designer” or “label” lipo techniques that are generally referred to as laser lipo, laser liposuction, laser lipolysis and laser sculpting. Different surgeons select different laser machines, equipment and instruments to develop and perfect technique. Many of them offer several laser sculpting devices and options. SmartLipo™ is currently the most popular. SmartLipo™ and Laser Sculpture really presented a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional liposuction than traditional liposuction. Due to its many advantages SmartLipo™ or laser sculpture quickly became people's choice of liposuction and was coined "lunch time lipo". Laser lipo is an improvement in the industry because it is an outpatient procedure, and only a local anesthetic is administered while the patient is wide awake throughout the procedure. Laser sculpture is fast and less invasive. Depending on the area or areas of the body being treated, the patient is in surgery one day, then back to work the next. For smaller areas treated, there is literally no downtime. The surgery is performed through tiny incision sites and the areas penetrated are between the top layers of skin and the muscle. During the surgery, the advanced laser sculpture light frequency settings are set to melt away the fat, then suctioned out the cells through the small suction device, called a cannula. With laser sculpture patients witness their fat being dissolved away from their bodies, for good. Because this procedure is minimally invasive, there will be little, if any bruising, scarring or swelling. This advantage also translates to a faster recovery after a patient.

Although laser sculpting is a minimally invasive procedure; it is recommended that the patient takes at least 1 day of after the surgery to recover and heal. In addition, laser sculpture typically uses the “wet” tumescent fluid to perform the procedure. Once the surgery is finished, it will take a day or two for the fluid to be absorbed and passed through the system and for minimal swelling to subside. Lastly, laser sculpting is not very invasive, so there is very little pain associated with the procedure. However, everyone has a different tolerance to what his/her body recognizes as painful or uncomfortable. So, some people may experience discomfort after the surgery.

Laser sculpture presents many advantages when compared to older, more traditional methods of lipolysis, which is why it is preferred by doctors and patients, alike.

The introduction of laser sculpting also presented a way for surgeons to achieve greater precision. Additionally, the laser sculpture techniques are the best ways to get rid of stubborn fat and achieve skin tightening.

“Laser products and technologies have revolutionized laser sculpting. Surgeons, like myself, have been able to achieve more defines results on all areas of the body, proclaims, Dr. William Hall, Chief Surgeon and Founder of Infini Cosmetic Associates in Scottsdale, Arizona.
