Are There Negatives Associated with Lipo Laser Treatment?

Liposuction by definition means that areas of unwanted fat are suctioned out of the body altogether, resulting in a more precise result with respect to body contouring and fat elimination at localized areas of the body.  It sounds as though you are describing another method of fat reduction which will likely only reduce a percentage of fat at the treatment site and possibly require multiple treatments.  Additionally, the other side effects you mentioned are also a possibility with non-invasive cold lasers.  Your goals for body contouring, your budget, and the amount of downtime you desire are going to dictate what treatment will fit the bill for you.

Hi, with any effective procedure there will always be potential complications. In general, the complications are the same that can occur with traditional or any other liposuction including: infection, bleeding, swelling, discoloration. However, problems such as rippling and waviness of the skin seem to be less. Theoretical problems specific to Vaser ultrasound can include burns at the skin edge where the cannula is inserted but, an experienced board certified surgeon will use skin guards to protect the area, and like all of these potential problems, they should rarely occur. Vaser, like other liposuction procedures is a generally safe, commonly performed and well liked by my patients, providing excellent long-term results. Find a board-certified surgeon that has extensive experience with this procedure. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

All medical treatments have their complications. Laser liposuction is an excellent and relatively safe procedure used to remove excess fat from the body. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
