Laser lipolysis - what it is, how it is done, indications and contraindications. Reviews of doctors and patients, photos

Cold laser lipolysis is a less traumatic way to correct body contours, characterized by a short rehabilitation period and a lasting effect.

Lipolaser is rightfully considered an advanced development that effectively fights subcutaneous fat. Today, this technique is considered one of the most natural ways to get rid of excess fat. Using laser energy, lipolysis allows you to easily and painlessly get rid of unnecessary adipose tissue and at the same time spend a minimum of time.

It also bears the following name:

• cold diode lipolaser;
• diode laser lipolysis;
• dioid lipolysis.

Areas of use

Cold liposuction is used on relatively small areas of the body, namely, where the amount of fat does not exceed 500 ml.

Laser lipolysis is used on the following areas of the body:

• neck, cheeks, chin;
• shoulder and forearms;
• stomach;
• thighs, buttocks, knees, calves;
• back.

The essence of the procedure

Lipolysis is the process of breaking down fats into their constituent acids. In the case of laser, the splitting of fats is meant with the help of special devices that emit radiation of a certain wave - 650 nm. Conducted clinical studies have proven that adipose tissue is sensitive to this particular wavelength, which stimulates their decay. Liquefied fat passes through the cell membrane and enters the intercellular space, from where it is discharged into the lymphatic system.

As a result, fat cells are reduced, which leads to the effect of gradually reducing the circumference of the treated area. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is not accompanied by severe pain.

Photo: marking the problem area

Non-surgical liposuction with a cold laser is performed in a phased manner:

1. The problem area is marked.
2. A thin cannula with a diameter of 1 mm is inserted under the patient's skin. Subsequently, it is a conductor for the optical fiber.
3. Laser energy destroys fat cells. Along with this, there is a “soldering” of the vessels penetrating the adipose tissue, which ensures a low invasiveness of the procedure.
4. The production of elastin and collagen is stimulated.
5. The split fat tissues are gradually processed by the liver and excreted from the body naturally.

The duration, on average, is from half an hour to two and a half hours, depending on the area being treated and the amount of fat removed.

Devices lipolaser, edaxis

Apparatuslipopoliser used to dissolve excess fat cells and has a number of advantages. It helps in the fight against cellulite, eliminates obstruction from the channels, speeds up metabolic processes in the blood, eliminates bags under the eyes, rejuvenates and whitens the skin, and also reduces stretch marks.

It has a user-friendly interface and a durable touch screen. German technologies used in the design provide reliability and full control over the work.

Edaxis is an ultra-modern device for cold laser lipolysis. It not only takes into account all the features of the human body, but also includes biomechanisms that are able to regulate metabolic processes in the subcutaneous fat.

Given this, the device includes four maniples with cavitation effect, it makes it possible to give the body the following:

• reduce fat deposits;
• strengthen blood vessels;
• activate the human drainage system;
• activate collagen production.

Special ultrasonic plates, having an energy vibration of one million vibrations per second, contribute to the absorption of energy by subcutaneous tissues. Thus, the flow of fluid is accelerated and fat molecules are broken.

Cold laser lipolysis is an easy and painless procedure, so the recovery period is very short. A few hours after it is carried out, the patient can go home, and the next day return to the usual routine of life.

1. During the course of procedures, you need to drink plenty of fluids and drink at least two liters of water daily. This is necessary to facilitate the transport of fat to the lymphatics.
2. It is not recommended to drink juices containing a large amount of sugar and, accordingly, calories.
3. Minor physical activity is required. Sport helps to activate the flow of blood and lymph, which helps to remove decomposed fat from the intercellular space.
4. Lymphatic drainage on a special vibration platform is very useful, which also activates the flow of blood and lymph.
5. It is worth limiting the use of coffee and cigarettes.
6. Alcohol is contraindicated.

Advantages

The advantages of cold laser lipolysis include the following factors:

• low trauma;
• lifting effect;
• short duration of the procedure;
• short rehabilitation period;
• safety of lipolysis;
• fast result, which becomes visible after the first procedure.

Lipolaser is also different in that it does not create unnatural reactions in the patient's body, respectively, it does not harm the surrounding tissues, nerves and blood vessels.

results

The results that patients receive after cold laser lipolysis are comparable to the effect that can be obtained after plastic surgery.

Positive results after lipolaser are visible on ultrasound, which shows a decrease in the thickness of subcutaneous fat up to 30%. And after each procedure done, it becomes larger.

It is most relevant in the buttocks, thighs, face and abdomen.

Frequently asked Questions

Is liposuction possible at home?

Definitely not. Liposuction is a serious procedure that can only be performed in a specially equipped clinic and only by a highly qualified doctor.

Is it possible to do it in several areas of the body at once in one operation?

Yes, you can, but it is worth considering that the total amount of fat removed. Cold laser lipolysis allows you to remove no more than 500 ml. for one procedure.

At what age can it be done?

If we are talking about a predisposition to fullness and local deposits, then age does not play a big role, although it is not recommended to do the operation before eighteen. Moreover, written parental consent is required.

How soon can I return to sports?

Not earlier than in a month. Cold laser lipolysis is a stress for the body, which is forced to work in an “enhanced” mode, so it is better to postpone active physical exercises for a while.

When can the results be evaluated?

The effect is visible already after the first session, but the maximum effect will appear no earlier than after three months.

How fast is recovery?

Cold laser lipolysis is a non-traumatic procedure, so the rehabilitation period is as short as possible. The patient can almost immediately return to the usual rhythm of life, but with minor restrictions. For example, within a month you can not drink alcohol, go to saunas and play sports.

Most people in the modern world are, one way or another, dissatisfied with their bodies. Even if obesity and excess weight are not your problem, then, for sure, you are familiar with dissatisfaction with certain areas of the body with excess deposits. These least treatable "fat traps" are problem areas that ruin most of our lives. Until now, in the world of aesthetics, only products that improve the structure of adipose tissue have been available. The real destruction and mechanical removal of problem areas was given only by the liposuction procedure. But liposuction is an operative intervention with its own contraindications, and most importantly, side effects.

Today we are pleased to offer you an effective, non-invasive and safe method of treating cellulite and reducing excess body fat - CAVITATION or, as it is also called, cavitation liposuction.

This is one of the most effective therapeutic methods in aesthetic medicine, aimed at getting rid of local fat deposits. Cavitation liposuction has such a pronounced effect on adipose tissue that the results from cavitation are comparable to surgical liposuction.

Indications for the procedure:

• ● Treatment of fatty deposits in problem areas:
  stomach,
  side surfaces,
  thighs, buttocks,
  back,
  arms,
  shins,
  breeches zone
• ● Reducing the volume of subcutaneous fat
• ● Reduced appearance of fibrosis
• ● Correction of flabbiness and decrease in skin elasticity
• ● Correction of defects after surgical liposuction

Operating principle:

During the procedure of cavitation liposuction, low-frequency ultrasonic waves generated by special equipment act on adipose tissue, causing the effect of cavitation in it: the formation of microbubbles (from the Latin Cavitas - emptiness). They increase in size, soften the fat and destroy the membrane of the adipocyte, the fat storage cell. Thus, the fat storage reservoir itself is destroyed, and already in this place it will be impossible to deposit it. A special selection of parameters of ultrasonic radiation allows you to have a targeted effect only on fat cells, destroying only them. The released triglycerides, which make up fat cells, are removed from the intercellular space through natural metabolic processes.

The cavitation procedure itself is simple and absolutely painless. The specialist processes the required area with the working maniple of the apparatus. The duration of the ultrasonic cavitation procedure, taking into account the preparation for the procedure, is no more than 60 minutes. Sessions are recommended to be carried out no more than 1 time in 10 days. Course 3-4 sessions. If necessary, supportive treatment is carried out: 1-3 procedures every 6 months.

The effect of the procedure

The effect is visible already after the first sessions: the volume of fat deposits in the problem area after the first cavitation procedure decreases by 2-5 cm. The effect intensifies over the next week. The most important effect is also the restoration of blood circulation and stimulation of fibroblasts, which helps to increase the elasticity and turgor of the skin, eliminates flabbiness and sagging.

For the best effect and acceleration of the process of removing the decay products of fat cells through the circulatory and lymphatic systems, pressotherapy procedures and hardware vacuum or manual lymphatic drainage massage are recommended.

During the course of procedures, the effect of liposuction is created, and since after a certain period of life, fat cells no longer multiply, the removal of the hated fatty area occurs once and for all by the safest and gentlest method.

Advantages:

If you have used the services of plastic surgeons at least once to solve the problems of obesity or simply read, for example, about surgical liposuction, then when you come to our center, you will understand that cavitation is a procedure without the negative consequences that surgical operations can usually cause. But, of course, the choice of "liposuction cavitation" is always yours.

So the benefits:

• ● Non-invasive
• ● Painless, does not require anesthesia
• ● Fast visible aesthetic result
• ● Short treatment time
• ● Atraumatic
• ● No rehabilitation period

Prices

In the hardware cosmetology department of our SPA-club, the price for the cavitation procedure is based on the optimal duration of the session (40 minutes + 15 minutes of preparation), regardless of the area of ​​influence.

Ask a Question

Lipolaser is a device whose action is aimed at splitting fat and removing it from the body without surgical intervention. The principle of its action is based on the use of low-intensity therapeutic laser radiation absorbed by adipocytes (fat cells) and their further splitting and excretion from the body. This whole process in cosmetology is called laser lipolysis, the obvious advantages of which are: speed of action, painlessness, short rehabilitation period.
Other procedure names:

• diode laser lipolysis;
• cold laser lipolysis;
• diode lipolysis;
• cold diode lipolaser.

The essence of the procedure

A device called Lipolaser, emitting a certain wavelength (mainly 650 nm), sends a chemical signal to adipocytes, which breaks them down into smaller components - glycerol and fatty acids. These elements of decay, passing through the cell membrane, enter the intercellular space, then into the lymphatic system and into the liver. Most of them are used by the body as an energy source in the process of metabolism and material for creating new cells, and excess fatty acids are excreted in bile and urine. All this is a natural process of using the body's own energy reserves, and therefore lipolysis does not lead to unnatural reactions.

Important! Lipolaser does not remove or damage fat cells, it only reduces their volume.

Indications for holding

The use of cold laser lipolysis is effective for areas of the body where there is an accumulation of fat:

• hips;
• buttocks;
• breeches zone;
• knees and shins;
• belly and waist;
• the inner surface of the hands;
• rib cage;
• shoulders and forearms;
• chin;
• cheeks.

In all these areas, Lipolaser allows you to achieve visible results.
Also indications for use are:

• cellulite;
• skin laxity;
• stretch marks;
• double chin.

How is the procedure?

Non-surgical liposuction with a cold laser is carried out in several stages:

1. Marking the problem area.
2. Introduction under the skin of a conductor for optical fiber - a thin cannula with a diameter of 1 mm.
3. The impact of lipolaser.
4. Vacuum roller massage or myostimulation.

The last stage helps to accelerate the conversion of fats into energy. The duration of one procedure depends on the treated area and takes an average of about 30 minutes.

Important! Within an hour after the session, the patient needs to perform cardio procedures lasting 30-40 minutes (running, brisk walking, swimming pool, cycling).

A course of treatment

To achieve visible results, it is necessary to undergo 10 procedures with an interval of 2-3 days. Such a break is optimal, as the laser-created pores in the adipocytes remain open for 24-72 hours. Cold lipolysis, carried out with a longer interval, will be less effective, as evidenced by the feedback from patients and cosmetologists.

Contraindications

Despite the ease of implementation, cold laser lipolysis has many contraindications:

• elevated temperature;
• autoimmune diseases;
• oncology;
• diabetes;
• infectious and viral diseases;
• chronic diseases;
• herpes;
• vascular diseases (phlebitis, thrombophlebitis);
• reduced blood clotting;
• lupus;
• mental disorders;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• the presence of pacemakers, prostheses, implants;
• inflammatory processes in the treated areas.

If you hide the presence of these diseases from the doctor, it will be fraught not only with a lack of effect, but also with various complications.

rehabilitation period

Since cold laser lipolysis does not involve surgery, the rehabilitation period is very short: a few hours after the procedure, the patient can return home and go about their usual activities.

1. Drink more than two liters of clean water daily - this is necessary to improve the transport of fat into the lymphatics.
2. Avoid eating foods high in sugar.
3. Every day to carry out small physical activity - this helps to activate the outflow of blood and lymph, which helps to remove decayed fat.
4. Cut down on smoking.
5. Limit the consumption of coffee and alcohol, as alcohol and caffeine negatively affect the lymphatic system, delaying the removal of fats and subsequent metabolism.

Important! Despite the simplicity of implementation, laser lipolysis is a stress for the body, forcing it to work in a "reinforced" mode. Therefore, active physical activity and sauna visits are recommended to be postponed for a month.

Procedure results

As reviews show, the results after laser lipolysis are comparable to the effect of liposuction or plastic surgery. According to the ultrasound data, in the places where the lipolaser is applied, the thickness of the subcutaneous fat is reduced by 30. After the procedure, patients do not have any scars, bruises or hematomas. There is also no need to wear compression garments.

After lipolaser, the results are immediately visible: after the first session, about four centimeters are lost in the waist area. In addition, laser radiation stimulates its own production of collagen, thus triggering the natural mechanism of rejuvenation.

The result after applying Lipolaser on the abdomen and sides

Surgical methods of local fat removal are becoming less popular due to unsatisfactory results in the form of subcutaneous tubercles, skin sagging and hematoma formation, and a high risk of postoperative complications. Modern cosmetology uses innovative and safe hardware technologies.

Which is better - ultrasonic or laser liposuction?

The difference between these forms of elimination of adipose tissue lies in the way the cells are destroyed. In the first case, cavitation is used - ultrasonic liposuction or non-contact wave action. During manipulation in fatty tissues, air bubbles are formed, rapidly increasing in volume. When they burst, the target cell membranes rupture, and the released molecules enter the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Non-surgical ultrasonic liposuction ensures the subsequent natural removal of fat "emulsion" by the liver and kidneys.

Laser removal of pathological tissues is a minimally invasive procedure, therefore it requires (local). A medical cannula with a diameter of 1 mm with an attached optical fiber is inserted into the pre-marked area. Through it, a laser emits radiation, the energy of which provokes the destruction of the membranes of fat cells. The number of punctures is calculated depending on the size of the treated areas.

Ultrasonic liposuction, unlike laser, is absolutely painless manipulation. It does not involve even microscopic damage to the skin and is accompanied by the shortest possible recovery period, which is why it is more in demand and popular. Its disadvantage is only a long course of procedures. Laser removal of adipose tissue is faster.

There are many patented devices for the implementation of the process in question. They are produced using the same technology, have an identical principle of operation. Any apparatus for producing powerful acoustic waves that affect only fat cells. The radiation does not damage neighboring tissue structures, muscles and skin. Such devices are equipped with at least 2 nozzles for use in large and small areas.

Quality equipment is produced by several manufacturers:

• Lipo Sonix;
• Alvi Prague;
• LipoDerm;
• New Contour;
• lipostyle;
• Nova;
• LipoSlim;
• echocell;
• Luna;
• UltraSlim.

Ultrasonic liposuction - contraindications

The described manipulation may be temporarily undesirable or completely prohibited. Cavitation - ultrasound liposuction is delayed in the following cases:

• lactation;
• pregnancy;
• the presence of damage to the treated skin;
• acute inflammatory processes;
• relapses of chronic pathologies;
• menstruation;
• previous abdominal surgery.

Situations when cavitation is excluded - contraindications:

• cholelithiasis and urolithiasis;
• osteoporosis;
• diabetes;
• oncological tumors;
• chronic infections;
• the presence of metal implants;
• the presence of a pacemaker;
• viral hepatitis B or C;
• kidney disease;
• cirrhosis of the liver;
• cholecystitis.

Ultrasonic face liposuction

The presented procedure helps not only to get rid of excess adipose tissue, but also to slightly tighten the skin, eliminate “bags” in the lower eyelid area and sagging cheeks. The effect of ultrasonic liposuction in this area is comparable to the effect of plastic surgery. The main advantage of cavitation is the absence of pain and scarring. Another advantage that ultrasonic liposuction has is that the patient feels good before and after the manipulation. There is no need for anesthesia, hospital stay and rehabilitation period.

Ultrasonic chin liposuction

The weakening of the tone of the muscles of the neck and lower jaw leads to a change in the contour of the face, "blurring" its outlines. Fat deposits under the chin worsen the situation, provoking sagging skin and the formation of ugly folds. Ultrasonic liposuction helps to quickly solve these problems - photos before and after the procedure confirm that acoustic waves produce positive effects:

• lifting of sagging skin;
• elimination of double chin;
• restoration of facial contours;
• neckline correction.

One of the methods of hardware cosmetology, based on the use of modern equipment, is lipolaser, or laser lipolysis. With its help, without carrying out, in many cases, you can restore or maintain a beautiful, elegant appearance of your face and body.

What is lipolaser

Laser lipolysis is a modern, effective method for body contouring and figure improvement by removing fat from fat depots without surgical intervention. The method is based on laser technologies and has its own characteristics.

The procedure is carried out by applying and fixing special overlays equipped with laser diodes to the problem area. The latter emit cold spectrum light with a wavelength of 650 or 940 nm. Therefore, the procedure is also called "cold laser lipolysis". This does not mean the use of low temperatures. No cold or other discomfort is experienced by the patient during lipolysis. The procedure is completely safe.

Mechanism of influence

The laser beam acts selectively on the cells of adipose tissue in the places of its accumulation. No other surrounding structures are affected, much less damaged. Only the permeability of adipocyte membranes and the penetration of enzymes into them increases. In addition, the laser beam activates biochemical enzymatic reactions, as a result of which fat is broken down into fatty acids, glycerol and water.

The latter, due to their small size and low molecular weight, as well as the increased permeability of the adipocyte membrane, freely enter the surrounding intercellular space and enter the liver through the lymphatic ducts. There they are used as a source of energy and material for the construction of new cells, and the excess is excreted from the body with bile and urine. The fat cells themselves, after the release of fat from them, significantly decrease in volume and disintegrate, which is reflected in the contours of the body due to a decrease in its volume. This effect is based on the same processes that occur in the body during weight loss in a natural way.

The duration of one session of lipolaser is half an hour. For a good lasting effect, it is desirable to conduct from 6 to 10 sessions.

Advantages of the technique

The most important thing is that the procedure of cold laser lipolysis is as close as possible to natural weight loss. All surgical methods, including traditional liposuction, are aimed at destroying adipose tissue. The lipolaser technique works on the natural removal of accumulated excess fat from fat cells. Thus, the advantages of the method are:

1. Minimal interference in the processes occurring in the body.
2. The absence of any traces on the body after manipulations due to the non-invasive method of their implementation, that is, without violating the integrity of the skin.
3. The effectiveness of the procedure, unlike other non-invasive methods of lipolysis - in one session, the technique allows you to reduce the volume of the fat layer by 3 cm. Therefore, the result can be seen immediately. There are results of patients losing up to 20 cm of volume in the affected area within 1 week.
4. The absence of complications and the rehabilitation period - the possibility of returning to the usual way of life immediately after the session.

The use of lipolaser and contraindications

The use of cold laser technology is effective for any part of the body. It is possible to reduce the volume of the entire body while improving its contours. More often, this method, which allows you to get results in the shortest possible time, is used in cases where the correction of the whole body needs to be done quickly (before a vacation or some kind of solemn event). The method can also be used to correct individual zones:

• belly and waist;
• thighs, knees and shins;
• zone "riding breeches" and buttocks;
• the inner surface of the hands;
• back surface of the chest;
• cheeks and chin area.

For the last four zones, traditional methods have little or no effect. But lipolaser allows you to achieve good results in these areas.

Contraindications to the use of lipolaser

1. Diseases of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
2. The presence of pregnancy and the period of breastfeeding.
3. Acute infectious diseases.
4. Acute or chronic skin processes.
5. Diseases of the blood, circulatory and cardiovascular systems.
6. Autoimmune connective tissue diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma).

The method of cold laser lipolysis is the best way to conservatively eliminate and correct the figure, even in inaccessible areas of the body.
