What are the side effects of laser fat burning? What happens to the body afterwards? Where does the fat go?

Sugaplum1
I recently started sessions of laser lipo for belly fat(I lay on a table and they place lasers on my belly for 1 hour or 30 minutes sessions).Where does the fat go?What are the side effects?My technician performs the procedure and acts very nonchalant about it.She says that there are no side effects.I did my 2nd session yesterday for an hour.I feel weak and lethargic today.I also had a hot flash.Is this normal.What happens to my body after the sessions?
