Skin tightening with laser lipo is not established.

SlimLipo has 2 laser wavelengths-924 for fat and 975 for skin tightening-Lipotherme has one 980

The Slimlipo uses a dual wavelength laser system designed for maximum fat dissolving and skin tightening. The 924nm wavelength is the only wavelength specifically absorbed by fat and is most effective at fat dissolving.

The Lipotherme uses only one wavelegth, the 980nm which is specifically absorbed by water.
