Lipo Laser done by a newly trained Aesthetician. Is it safe?

R
Rec.Mar 26, 2015

There is a center that started doing it and it is done by an Aesthetician who said he just got trained and that " it is not a complicated thing". Is it safe to have a non doctor do this procedure for the chin area? I am concerned since it is a visible area. I am told no doctor performs this procedure, all done by people like him. How many procedures is needed to be proficient at this ?

Thanks for the question, you have great anatomy and I would likely suggest BF removal as it can be done awake and the incisions are hidden in the mouth

Thank you for your question. At the 6 week time period, things should be well healed, and the last 10-20% of healing will be beginning. I hope this helps!
