I am a heavier set woman and I am scheduled to get Slim Lipo in 2 weeks and I am afraid of paying so much money and not seeing a difference. What are your thoughts on this?
Also, my first procedure is for my stomach, sides, and flanks. 2 weeks later I will be doing my arms and inner thighs, is that too short of a period in between?
I offer laser assisted liposuction to my patients with the caveat that they are, in effect, trial balloons. There is little science backing up the "tightening" effects of laser assisted lipo although there are some theoretical possibilities. They will remain theoretical until the companies finance real research. Until then, they are, in my opinion, experimental devices.
Which is better for skin tightening, Slim Lipo or Lipotherme?
There are various types of "laser" lipo that claim that the thermal damage that is a collateral of the treatment "tightens" the skin. The same claim was made with ultrasonically assisted liposuction. After many cases using both modalities, I am not convinced that there is much difference over conventional liposuction alone. I have not used the dual beam laser so there might be some advantage there, but heat is heat so I'm not sure why it would work much better. For now, laser assisted liposuction has theoretical merit but clinically the results are not firmly established.
Twins caused excess skin. Would Slimlipo be a good alternative to a tuck?
We have had excellent results in skin tightening with the SlimLipo machine. It will not result in a flat tight abdomen like an abdominoplasty will. If you have had a twin pregnancy, you may need muscle tightening and this cannot be accomplished with SlimLipo alone.
