Benefits of Laser Liposuction

If you have unwanted areas of persistent fat that you’d like to sculpt away — or transfer to another area to attain your ultimate body-shaping goals — without having a major cosmetic surgical procedure, we can help. 

Body contouring specialist Nawo K. Fiamo, ARNP, and our team at Fiamo Aesthetics offer laser-assisted liposuction, an advanced, minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgical liposuction that makes it possible to safely spot-reduce stubborn pockets of fat with minimal tissue damage for less discomfort and a faster recovery. 

Let’s take a closer look at five major benefits of this simplified, highly effective approach to body contouring that can help you attain the shape you’ve always desired in no time flat. 

1. Minimally invasive body sculpting 

In the past, conventional liposuction surgery was the only way to sculpt away unwanted areas of fat. This method uses an injected medicated solution to unseat targeted fat cells, then suctions them out with a vacuum pump through a thin tube called a cannula.

 Today, minimally invasive laser-assisted liposuction allows you to shape your body without the general anesthesia, significant incisions, stitches, and longer recovery that comes with a major surgical procedure like traditional liposuction. 

This means less tissue trauma and discomfort — and a much faster recovery — for you.   

2. Greater body contouring precision

Done with the aid of a local anesthetic, laser-assisted liposuction combines advanced laser technology with gentle suction to target and gently eliminate persistent fat with far greater precision than traditional liposuction.

This in-office procedure uses smaller incisions and a much thinner cannula — one that’s threaded with a thin laser fiber — to painlessly rupture unwanted fat cells with heat energy. This effectively liquifies the cells for easy and complete suctioned removal. 

At Fiamo Aesthetics, we use BeautiFill by Alma™, a top-tier laser liposuction device that emits heat energy in a 360-degree pattern. This reduces the required laser intensity while ensuring even distribution throughout the targeted area for minimal tissue trauma and optimal results.    

3. A versatile spot reduction method 

Genetics, gender, and age all influence where your body opts to store excess fat. When it comes to attaining your desired body shape, losing weight through diet and exercise has a major disadvantage: You simply can’t choose which areas of fat your body sheds. 

Luckily, laser-assisted liposuction allows you to spot-reduce as desired. You can use it to slim, tighten, or redefine your:

• Belly and midsection (love handles)
• Thighs, buttocks, and hips (saddlebags) 
• Back, bra line, chest, and upper arms
• Full submental area (double chin)

Whatever your personal body shaping goals happen to be, laser liposuction gives you an easy way to reach those goals and attain your ideal figure — nothing more, nothing less.   

4. Body shaping within the same session 

The BeautiFill laser liposuction platform also includes a fat purification device and transfer tool. This means that in one carefully planned procedure, we can slim down one area, like your waist, and round out another area, like your buttocks, with the fat we removed. 

For example, the Brazilian butt lift uses laser liposuction to improve the size, shape, and contour of your backside with purified fat cells that were harvested from another area, like your upper arms, belly, or flanks.  

5. Effective and permanent fat reduction

When you lose weight through diet and exercise, the affected fat cells simply shrink in response to your efforts. They’re still there, ready and waiting to store extra calories in the future. 

But with laser-assisted liposuction, the targeted fat cells are liquified beyond repair and then suctioned out. This doesn’t mean that the treated area is immune to future weight gain, but it does mean that you shouldn’t have any trouble maintaining your new body shape if you continue to eat well and exercise.
