Someone who wants to have body contouring to remove small amounts of stubborn fat might have considered liposuction. However, liposuction technically is surgery, and many people are wary of unnecessary surgery. Body fat laser treatment in Glendale, AZ is an effective alternative.
Laser Lipolysis
This nonsurgical therapy, medically known as laser lipolysis, uses laser heat to dissolve fat deposits. It can decrease the size of a patient’s thighs, hips, upper arms, abdomen and other areas of the body. The treatments generally last an hour or two. Afterward, the normal waste removal process gradually flushes away the dissolved fat.
Liposuction
Traditional liposuction requires the insertion of a tube the doctor uses to manually break off fat deposits and suction them out. Another method involves using ultrasound vibrations to liquefy fat cells and then apply suction.
Considerations
Body fat laser treatment in Glendale, AZ also involves inserting a small tube, but the process is considered minimally invasive instead of a surgical procedure. That’s because the tube is only needed to apply the laser heat.
An Additional Advantage
Laser therapy has an additional advantage: it stimulates collagen production. The body’s collagen production decreases with age, explaining why skin loses its youthful plumpness. More collagen tightens skin where fat was removed. Liposuction, on the other hand, can leave loose saggy skin once the fat is gone.
Getting Started
Anyone interested in this treatment may schedule a consultation. The person learns about the process, expected results and pricing. Soon this individual can have a shapelier body.
