Laser liposuction is tumescent liposuction whereby after infiltrating the tumescent anesthetic fluid, a small laser fiber is used to disrupt fat cells and tighten skin. Typically, the sequence is: (1) infiltrate the area with tumescent anesthesia, (2) use the laser fiber in the deeper fat to disrupt and melt fat cells, (3) suction fat using manual or power-assisted liposuction, (4) use the laser fiber on the undersurface of the skin to stimulate collagen and create skin tightening.

The laser currently used by most cosmetic surgeons doing laser liposuction is the Cynosure Triplex Smartlipo system that allows the surgeon to use one or a combination of two wavelengths depending on the area of the body.

Laser liposuction is an additional adjunct step to tumescent liposuction. After infiltrating the tumescent anesthetic fluid, a small laser fiber is used to disrupt fat cells and and aid o tighten skin. Typically, the sequence is: (1) infiltrate the area with tumescent anesthesia, (2) use the laser fiber in the deeper fat to disrupt and melt fat cells, (3) suction fat using manual or power-assisted liposuction, (4) use the laser fiber on the undersurface of the skin to stimulate collagen and create skin tightening.

Smartlipo laser lipolysis in the body and Precision laser lipolysis in the neck help to reduce fatty areas and create skin tightening at the same time. This system is safe when used by an experienced cosmetic surgeon as it incorporates a thermometer at the tip of the laser fiber that enables the surgeon to continuously monitor the temperature in the area being treated.

With laser lipolysis (Smartlipo) we can melt and remove fat and achieve skin tightening that is not possible with conventional liposuction.
