Spot Treatment Liposuction Fat Reduction?
Yes, something more laser targeted (literally) to get rid of those horrible fatty areas that we all can’t stand about certain parts of our body, is here. Or at least it seems so. Many times with these newer cosmetic procedures, it takes a LOT of perfecting before anyone really wants to go out there and get it done, because doctors simply haven’t had the time or patients yet to test it and perfect it.
This is a laser targeted liposuction, where lasers are used to target fat pockets and break them down and make them go away. It uses lasers, instead of actual suction, or at least uses the lasers to assist, in the “melting” of these fat pockets by targeting them and breaking them down with laser beams. It’s called SmartLipo laserlipolysis, and it’s gaining a lot of early attention as the next best thing in the ever growing field of plastic surgery and cosmetic correction.
Also, as with everything that can use lasers instead of traditional operating instruments, the recovery time should be significantly less and there may also be an improvement in the scarring that occurs afterwards, since lasers provide such a nice clean, smooth cut and do not usually result in any significant scarring or trauma to the skin they cut through.
It will not completely replace liposuction, but it will definitely be an option for those who are looking for more of a targeted area of fat reduction, instead of say their entire buttocks and hip/thigh region, which would be more appropriately done by traditional lipo.
