How Effective is Lipolite?

Question

My Smart Lipo dr ordered a new machine and says its better:  Lipolite?  Do you know it?  Is it more advanced?  I was not happy with the Lipolite procedure done on me almost 7 weeks ago and the clinic has offered to redo the upper tummy in July.  I hope it works as I don't want to have to go through that 3X.  My lower tummy is much flatter but my flanks and upper tummy have not changed a bit!

Hi, it is hard to assess without information on how much fat you had and still have on your body that you want to remove or the condition of your skin. In essence, Lipolite works best in conjunction with other body contouring procedure. If you want other non-invasive options there are more powerful and effective ways to get the results you want. Our facility is the first in Newport Beach and Orange County to offer UltraShape Power. No other non-invasive fat reduction treatment on the market today has a higher efficacy rate than UltraShape Power, not even CoolSculpting. You may also want to know more about Vanquish which is also a non invasive way to shape and sculpt. #RealSelf100

The most important thing is how well trained your Dr. is. A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is the one you should be going to. The lipolite can be a good tool provided the Dr. is well trained and a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, not to a instrument manufacturer.

LipoLite is a laser liposuction system that makes the following claims on its website:

	"LipoLite is often a complement to treatments such as traditional liposuction or other body contouring procedures, because LipoLite can treat smaller problem areas that traditional liposuction can't. LipoLite is perfect for those stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise."

	
	Just because it is new, does not mean it is better. Based on the company&rsquo;s own marketing before & after pictures, it is hard to see if LipoLite has any advantage over traditional liposuction. There are no well designed studies showing an advantage of Lipolite compared to any other treatment.

	
	If after 3 months you do not see the result you expected, discuss it with your doctor. But you may want to consider using a more proven liposuction technique.
