Laser Lipolysis

Laser lipolysis

Laser lipolysis is a non-invasive form of body sculpting. Like surgical liposuction, this procedure permanently removes fat cells from the body. It’s not painful. It also comes with a lower risk of loose skin afterward. All kinds of areas on the body can be treated, including the flanks, stomach, back, inner and outer thighs, the back, arms, under the chin.

8 Laser Lipo sessions are necessary to achieve optimal results. It takes time for the fat cells to progressively break down, this will occur over the duration of the eight sessions. A Laser Lipo course consists of eight 30min sessions over (typically) four weeks.
