HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN YOU LOSE WITH LASER LIPO?

How Much Weight Can You Lose with Laser Lipo?

Before you can expect to see any results from your treatment, there are certain things that must happen first. The body goes through two phases after a fat cell is destroyed by the laser:

1. The immediately surrounding area absorbs the released fat, which is then metabolized by the body. This process can take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks, depending on the number of fat cells treated and the density of the tissue in which they were located.

2. The fat that was not immediately absorbed must be transported through the lymphatic system and into the circulatory system. This transportation can take weeks to months, depending on how much fat was treated during one session, as well as its location in your body. At this point, it’s then broken down by your liver and released as waste into your feces or urine.

3. In order for the second round of liposuction to have an effect on the body, the first set of waste products must be cleared out before new ones start to collect in those areas where you’ve received treatment. Although most patients won’t need another round of treatment for at least 4 months (sometimes longer), you will start to notice

While there’s no guarantee that you’ll lose weight with laser lipo, the technology has been proven to target fat and eliminate it through your lymphatic system. The process is not painful and can be done in a doctor’s office, but there are many things you should know before you commit to the procedure. How much weight can you lose? Laser lipo is marketed as a “non-invasive” fat reduction procedure, but some doctors might tell you that they can remove fat from any area of your body. You’ve probably heard advertisements saying that you could lose two to three pounds per session. This isn’t accurate or realistic—you won’t see dramatic results overnight. A realistic expectation for most people is one to four pounds of fat lost per treatment area per session (smaller areas like the neck and upper back can have even less noticeable results). Unfortunately, this means that if you want to slim down your stomach or butt, you’ll need more than one session.

A typical session lasts about half an hour and is typically done on an outpatient basis without anesthesia. The technician will apply a topical anesthetic cream to numb the skin before the treatment begins. Your skin will likely tingle or feel warm afterward.

At last count, more than 800,000 people have opted for laser lipo to remove fat and, in doing so, help them achieve their weight-loss goals. The procedure is available at a wide range of clinics and medical facilities, as well as at some spas.

However, it’s also important to understand that laser lipo is not a magic bullet. Losing weight is still the result of consuming fewer calories than you burn; laser treatment alone can’t make up for a bad diet or lack of exercise. Another thing to keep in mind is that the fat you lose may not be the fat you want to lose: Laser lipo targets fatty pockets directly under the skin without touching underlying organs like your liver or kidneys. This means that if you’re carrying extra weight around your midsection—the kind of weight that might happen after having kids or during menopause—laser treatments may not help you achieve the results you want. But if they can address those bothersome areas where it’s impossible to get rid of fat with diet and exercise alone—like the saddlebags on your thighs or those love handles that refuse to budge—laser treatments might be just what you need to start seeing results at last.

Laser lipolysis is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in the doctor’s office. It uses laser energy to break down fat cells, leaving them unable to store or accumulate fat. The procedure is effective in reducing fat in specific areas of the body and has been performed for over 20 years with no reported long-term negative side effects. While you may lose a substantial amount of weight during the first few weeks after the procedure, it is important to note that you will not see significant long-term results until you have followed a healthy diet and exercise program consistently for at least three months.

Laser lipolysis works by breaking down fat cells into smaller particles and removing them from the body through natural bodily processes (i.e., sweat, urination). During the process, laser light is targeted onto your body’s fat deposits and causes your body to begin burning fat cells naturally. In most cases, patients feel a sensation like pins and needles, similar to an elastic band snapping against your skin, but any pain should be minimal and easily tolerable. Overall you can expect a small amount of actual weight loss from laser lipo alone, the majority of actual weight loss will come from lifestyle change and exercising regularly and eating healthy food.
