How is fat removed during an AccuSculpt procedure? Is it suctioned away, burned, or naturally absorbed?

Question

I can't find any clear information on how AccuSculpt and other laser liposuction devices actually remove fat. Is the fat removed in different ways if the laser lipolysis is performed in different areas of the body or face? Thanks.

whats most important is WHO is doing the procedure not the marketed procedure itself.  Although VASER has been shown to have the most skin tightening and fat removal results. see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

HI QP!
That device delivers energy that is supposed to help with skin tightening and increase ease of fat removal.  Keep in mind the fat still will need to be removed with a body contouring device.  Seeing an expert in liposculpture is paramount to get the results that you want.  Removing the fat is critical but what is left behind is more important to get the most ideal silhouette.

This device delivers energy to the fat and surrounding tissue which may increase tightening. The most important component to body sculpting is how the fat is actually removed. Do more research and find an expert in Liposculpting.

Thanks for the question, its a shame the medical field continues to invent brands of the same thing. All liposuction involves putting in numbing fluid and removing fat. In between you can add laser, ultrasound, radio frequency, water etc and people brand that part of the procedure. I wouldn't worry about the name of the lipo just make sure you and your doc have a clear plan as to what you want and how to get you there

The laser melts all the fat which is then removed with standard liposuction or power assisted liposuction
