I recently was told I was not a candidate for cool sculpting by two different places as I don't have enough fat to suck into the machine. But I still want to get rid of what I can. There has been some talk of a place that uses "lipo laser" but there is no liposuction as I've read with every other place using lipo laser. Waste of money or are results like they claim possible?
Answer: What is laser lipo Laser liposuction is a technique using a combination of regular liposuction with the addition of a laser treatment.It includes regular liposuction.There are a variety of devices that use external light, radio frequency, heat or cold to reduce fat.Of these, cold treatment, or the ability to freeze fat cells, is the only one demonstrated to be of significant effect.If you were told you were not a candidate for this, then you may not be a candidate for any type of fat removal procedure.Seeing photographs would certainly help.I suggest seeing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to get the truth about various techniques of what will and will not work.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

Answer: Laser Lipo technique and results Laser lipo is a type of liposuction which first incorporates a laser probe to break up and liquefy the fat prior to liposuctioning. Although it is possible to do the laser treatment without the liposuction, in most cases, I would recommend doing the liposuction as well. The liposutioning will remove the fat byproducts and blood that may remain. This should help minimize bruising and swelling and help speed the healing process. Best wishes, Dr Lepore.
