Lipolysis (laser): does it entirely remove fat cells like Liposuction does?

irina77
Hi. I think it's all in the subject :)  I read that Liposuction entirely remove fat cells, and being a physical removal it seems logical.What about laser Lipolysis? Does it also somehow remove the fat cells entirely?I am asking because my excess fat is minimal - I am actually an athlete, but I have a layer of fat around my abdomen that just won't go away even with an athlete's regime of eating and training (I don't simply exercise, I train for competitions, which is an order of magnitude more intensive). So, I have been recommended Lipolysis instead of Liposuction, but I want the result to stick longer, hence my doubt.Thanks for your help.
