Laser-assisted liposuction is one of the newest technologies in the market. Research shows that it is also one of the different techniques to remove excess fats. Some companies claim that you will get better results with laser-assisted liposuction compared to other types of liposuction machines. There is a chance that you are not aware of what a laser-assisted liposuction is. It is simply a procedure that uses a very small cannula. Inside the cannula, there is a laser that shoots a laser beam from its tip and melts the fat below the skin while the surgeon moves the cannula in a back and forth motion.
In the said technology, manufacturers claim that you will get better skin retraction with a laser-assisted liposuction. The truth is, any type of lipo will cause a certain degree of skin retraction or tightening due to the heat and inflammation created by the liposuction technique itself. It has been touted that with laser-assisted liposuction, the actual light beam generates more heat than other techniques, which, in theory, will cause more significant skin retraction and tightening. Although it is true, the extent of skin retraction will basically depend on the amount of excess skin that you might have.
It may be true that the laser-assisted liposuction can do wonders for your body but you have to be careful with it. This is because too much heat can cause skin injuries and burns as well as melt tissues other than fats, which is one of the risks associated with laser liposuction. There are many types of liposuction and if you are undecided which should you try, better consult with a surgeon. Be careful in weighing the pros and cons. Having laser liposuction does not necessarily mean you are going to achieve better results than all the other techniques out there.
