Laser lipolysis - what is it, how is it done, indications and contraindications. Reviews of doctors and patients, photos

To maintain the beauty of the figure in modern cosmetology and plastic surgery, laser lipolysis has become popular. What it is, its advantages, disadvantages and options will be discussed below.

What is laser lipolysis

Lipolaser is the newest way to painlessly and safely remove excess adipose tissue, restoring some parts of the body to their natural appearance. The essence of the laser lipolysis procedure is the supply of heat to the desired area of ​​the skin using a laser. During the heating process, excess fat is broken down, turning into water, and out of the cells.

The launched biological processes reduce the vacated space, correcting the cell walls, and, consequently, the contour of the figure. The newly formed excess fluid enters the bloodstream, and then into the liver, where it leaves the body through urination or suction using a vacuum created by a special device.

What equipment is used in the procedure

For the operation, devices such as:

1. Lipolaser - designed to eliminate fat deposits from any part of the body. The kit includes:

• 9 diode laser probe having a fiber-optic composition;
• automatic selection of the required frequency for the operation, according to the individual criteria of the patient.

2. Lipobetlaser - used to carry out lipolysis of the face.
3. Edaxiz - used for the complex removal of excess substance. With the help of the device, in addition to classical lipolysis, an ultrasound version of the procedure is carried out, as well as massage after it. The kit includes 3 devices performing;

• vacuum function;
• transmitting stream at 40 kHz;
• transmitting stream in 1 MHz.

4. Ilipo - is intended for complex therapy, which includes three components:
   • laser lipolysis;
   • massage based on the vacuum effect, provided by 2 vacuum roller nozzles with a laser with a 785 nm capability;
   • radio waves.

The kit includes 4 additional devices with 9 lasers each.

During the procedure, it is with this device that the patient's body goes through the following stages:

• measurement of body fat and total muscle mass;
• the amount of a substance required for removal from the body is specified;
• the data is entered into the program of the device and is monitored by a doctor;
• the specialist installs sensors on the prepared part of the body and on the lymph nodes (for the accelerated removal of excess matter);
• a specially calculated frequency is set on the device, with which the laser will affect the body;
• after eliminating excesses from the cells, a nozzle with a vacuum effect is installed to remove them from the body;
• the latter includes a device with radio waves, which is necessary for tightening the skin and, as a result, eliminating the poor-quality appearance of the skin on the treated surface.

Differences between the procedure and liposuction

The uniqueness of laser lipolysis, in contrast to the familiar surgical liposuction, is the absence of:

• dermis damage - the method is carried out using special equipment, the use of which does not require additional skin incisions, and, therefore, the absence of scars on the body;
• serious medical intervention - during the procedure of internal lipolysis, it is enough to use a light pain reliever instead of a serious anesthesia;
• strong postoperative pain - in the presence of pain, it passes quickly and has a weak shade;
• complications when removing fat from difficult areas of the body - the laser reaches places that are inaccessible or difficult to access with traditional liposuction;
• long adaptation period - after diode lipolysis, the rehabilitation period is from 6 hours to 3 days. The amount of time for adaptation depends on the variant of the procedure;
• the presence of a visible result after a month of sessions.

Besides the differences between diode surgery and liposuction, there are some differences between lipolysis and a similar cavitation method.

Types of lipolysis

Laser lipolysis has 2 types, differing in target and quality characteristics, which in turn have narrow directions:

By the depth of impact:

• External - not including surgical intervention. The method involves placing a special device on a palm-sized work area and inserting a needle under the skin to create contact between the device and the dermis. At the end of the fat removal process, the fat is expelled from the body naturally through urination.
• Interior - including surgical manipulations. The method involves puncturing the working surface to make contact between the skin and the device and remove excess fat from the inside. The operation is performed under the influence of an anesthetic.

By the option of removing excess adipose tissue:

• Natural - through the blood vessels, entering the liver, excess fat, turning into liquid, leaves the body.

Advantage - the closeness of fat elimination to natural weight loss.Disadvantage - the effect is not immediately noticeable.

• Artificial - suction with a special apparatus that creates a vacuum effect.

Advantage - the presence of a visible result, painlessness and safety of the procedure. Disadvantage - the presence of a risk of infection, painful sensations, an allergic reaction to analgesic medications.

Mechanism of the procedure

There are 2 types of the procedure, each of which has a specific mechanism of action:

Domestic or hot:

• determination of the working surface;
• testing for an allergen and the introduction of a local analgesic;

• carrying out an operation lasting from 2 to 4 hours in order to remove excess adipose tissue and remove it from the body. After removing fat and turning it into water, it can come out:

• postoperative precautions are announced;
• a postoperative adaptation period lasting up to 3 days is carried out.

External or cold:

• determination of the working surface;
• treatment of the dermis with a special gel to disinfect and improve contact with the device;
• insertion of a needle to create contact between the apparatus and the body;
• imposition and fixing of a device that emits a laser beam;
• turning on the device;
• control of the device in the process of laser lipolysis, lasting 20 - 30 minutes. for possible correction of its work;
• disabling the drug;
• massage of the treated surface;
• voicing recommendations for the patient to perform physical exercises in order to enhance the work of blood flow;
• study of the result after the procedure;
• appointment of the next session and the preliminary date (a break between operations from 2 to 3 days);
• undergoing rehabilitation after the procedure.
