Laser Fat Removal

When healthy diet and regular exercise no longer helps to reduce excess fat, people prefer the latest innovative method known as laser fat removal. The thighs, buttocks, stomach and the neck are the common areas where body fat gets accumulated in overweight people. Removing fatty deposits from a specific area such as the neck or stomach by following an exercise routine may take months to see noticeable improvement. However, laser fat removal methods provide a quick way to eliminate bulging fat.

Liposuction
Nowadays, the liposuction method is commonly used to reduce excess fat. This procedure to get rid of stubborn fat uses a suction device and a hollow tube also referred as cannula. Initially, an anesthetic agent is administered to make the area insensitive. The cannula is then introduced into the area of the body, from where fat is to be removed. As the cannula is a very small hollow tube, the incision made to the skin in order to insert the tube is also tiny. In laser assisted liposuction, a Nd:YAG laser is passed through the cannula. The fatty tissues of the area cannot withstand the bombardment of the laser. As a result, it leads to breakdown of fat cells, eventually rupturing the fatty tissues. The laser actually liquefies these fatty deposits which are then taken out of the body, using a suction device. The laser tightens the tissues, thus giving the affected area a better appearance. There may be slight bleeding and bruising due to incision, which is normal and not a cause for worry. Once the procedure is over, one can resume his daily routine within a few days.

Laser Fat Removal Without Surgery
Another painless procedure that provides an easy way to get rid of stubborn fat is cold laser. In this technique, no incisions are made to allow the laser to penetrate into the skin. Here, cold lasers of a specific wavelength are targeted on the fat areas of the body. This is done by placing paddles on the specific area. These paddles are set to emit specific wavelengths of light, that pass through the upper layer of the skin and make contact with the fatty deposits below it. The energy of these cold lasers, melts these fatty tissues and turns them into a liquid oily substance, which is then naturally eliminated by the body. The lymphatic system of the body ensures that the liquid, which is nothing but excess fat, is drained completely without causing any side effects.

Cost
The cost will vary from one place to another. However, surgery in places like California and New York might be a costly affair as compared to other cities in the United States. On the whole, the cost will vary anywhere between $2000 and $6000.

Keep in mind that leading a sedentary lifestyle that involves less physical activity and consumption of fried and junk foods, will only add extra pounds to the body fat. Increase in weight will be seen in the form of fatty deposits around the neck, buttocks and the abdomen. So, in order to avoid another session of fat removal procedure, it is essential to follow a healthy diet and an exercise program regularly.
