With Cool Lipo technology the surgeon is using a laser to break up the unwanted fat. Next he has to use the suction to remove it just like during the standard suction assisted liposuction. So the liquified fat is removed.

This step is being followed by skin tightening with the heat produced by the laser. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia which is to the advantage of the patient as far as less downtime and quicker recovery time.
