How many sessions of laser lipolysis are needed to improve the appearance of the abdomen and love handles?

Most plastic surgeons (including myself) that use SMART lipo/laser lipo use the technology in conjunction with conventional liposuction to remove the resultant free fatty acids that are produced with the breakdown of the fat cells by the laser energy.  In my opinion this leaves a smoother result.One session should suffice for an average person.Best wishes.

Thanks for the question depending on your weight and the amount of fat to be removed it is likely that both areas could be performed in one session, we are limited by the amount of numbing medication we can give and the amount of fat we can remove

Body contouring/liposuction has evolved over the past years and is not just about fat reduction but more so about sculpting and defining. In patients who have smaller problem areas, you want an energy based device to help melt fat and tighten skin. as well, it helps to define and shape the musculature. This type of liposuction requires a specialized body contouring specialist who is trained in 4D hi definition procedures and can do fat removal with both deep and superficial liposculpture. Please see an expert for sculpting and defining procedures, whos practice is dedicated to these types of surgeries. If done right, this should only be one procedure that you need to get the ultimate results.  Best, Dr. Emer.
