Are there any dangerous side effects associated with laserlipo? Like increasing the risk of cancer.

July 10, 2014
Asked By:HaleyVrsce in Charlotte, NC

I wanted to choose between ultrasonic lipo cavitation or lapolaser. I am 32 female. I don't have that much fat, since I practice yoga regularly. But, there is a small amount of stubborn fat on my lower belly that I can't get rid of. I do care about the results of the treatment, but, when it comes to interrupting cells,I'm scared if it increases the risk of cancer. Is that correct?
