    This minimally invasive laser procedure reduces excess fat and the appearance of cellulite, thus tightening and contouring the skin. LipoLite can be used alone or in conjunction with traditional liposuction or other body contouring procedures. It can treat small, localized problem areas and can help remove the pockets of loose skin that liposuction leaves behind.

    LipoLite repairs many areas of the body. For women, the most popular treatment areas are the hips, thighs and bra line. Men most frequently request LipoLite treatments to remove excess fat around the abdomen (“love handles”) and on the chest.

    How does it work?

    The LipoLite laser procedure uses a small, thin tube (cannula) that is inserted into your skin through a tiny incision. The laser’s light is delivered through this tube. When the light reaches your fat cells, it turns to heat, which liquefies the cells. The liquefied fat is then extracted from your body through the same incision.

    Because it uses such a small incision, the LipoLite procedure results in less bruising and bleeding than traditional liposuction.

    What are the treatments like?

    Treatment sessions tend to last from 30 to 60 minutes. You will be given a local anesthesia to numb the area. The treatment itself, therefore, is painless. Afterwards, however, you may experience some mild pain as your body recovers. An over-the-counter pain medication can relieve this discomfort. Most people return to work within two days, although your body will continue the recovery process—and may feel sore and tender—for up to eight weeks.

    When will I see the effects?

    You may see some results, particularly a smaller contour, immediately, but the full effects of the LipoLite laser treatment generally become most apparent six to eight weeks after the procedure.
