Fat Removal

Laser fat removal involves the use of laser radiation to penetrate the skin, selectively heat the fat cells, and achieve the desired slimming and shaping effect. The effect of laser fat removal has recently been recognized; it can be performed close to the skin, and there is no specific requirement for skin thickness. Lasers work to melt the fat away from under the skin by perforating the cells so they deflate.

Low-level laser light reduces the stability of adipocyte cell membranes, allowing cells to release their stores of fat without damaging the cell. It's a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed under local or general anesthesia that liquifies and removes stubborn fat. Aside from melting the fat cells, laser beams also coagulate small blood vessels, which prevents excessive bleeding.
