Women have their problem areas, and men have theirs. Love Handles. That over the belt strip. Double Chin.

If diet and exercise aren't cutting it, laser assisted liposuction may be the answer.

Fat cells are removed, permanently, from the areas that vex you.

With the laser liposuction procedure, a precisely calibrated laser scans the exterior of the body, targeting fat cells and changing the composition of the fat. Through a small incision (only 1/4 inch), the de-stabilized fat is removed.

The process is safe, less invasive than old-style tumescent liposuction, and because it is less invasive, healing is much faster. For instance - if you have those fat deposits at the rear of the waist removed by laser lipo, you'll wear a compression garment for about four days. With tumescent liposuction, a compression garment is worn for six to eight weeks.

Post-surgery, you'll feel sore - comparable to a pulled muscle or sprain in that area. You should be able to return to work (unless its a strenuous physical job) within three days. Within a week to ten days, you can get back to the gym and resume normal exercise. The incisions are sealed with a single suture, and the sutures come out after 7 days.
