Curious if laser fat removal is right for you? Read on to learn more about the process and how our doctor-led team at Light Touch Clinic can help you on your body sculpting journey.

What is Laser Fat Removal?

Laser fat removal is making waves in the aesthetics industry as the go-to option for those looking to eliminate stubborn fat without the hassle of traditional liposuction.

Using a completely non-contact approach, lasers effortlessly penetrate the skin and target fat cells. Eliminating unwanted fat in areas like the neck, arms, and chin – places where traditional methods often fall short.

By ‘draining’ fat cells, laser fat removal ensures noticeable, natural results that can be maintained with healthy lifestyle choices. The result? A smoother, more contoured appearance without any downtime.

What makes laser fat removal stand out is the ease of the procedure compared to other methods of contouring. Unlike traditional methods, laser fat removal does not require any incisions to be made in the skin. It offers an entirely non-invasive approach to body contouring while still offering noticeable results that last.

At Light Touch Clinic, we use the advanced Emerald Laser for our treatments. This state-of-the-art device uses 10 powerful lasers to emulsify fat, helping you achieve a more sculpted figure with treatment sessions that only take 15-30 minutes.

Patients usually require around 6-10 treatments over 3-5 weeks, making the Emerald Laser an effective, non-surgical solution for long-lasting results.

Emerald Laser

The Emerald Laser is an award-winning, FDA-approved laser fat removal treatment that offers stunning, naturally-appearing results. The system uses 10 powerful green lasers that can provide simultaneous treatments, targeting multiple areas of the body for seamless contouring results.

The lasers used in the Emerald Laser are non-thermal, low-level, and no-contact, allowing the entire body circumference to be treated quickly, and most importantly, comfortably – reducing the waistline by up to 1 inch per treatment session.

Fat cells are ‘drained’ by the Emerald Laser by creating a small pore in the cell, allowing its contents to drain over a period of weeks for gradual contouring.

Laser Fat Removal Vs Laser Lipolysis

Laser fat removal and laser lipolysis are often confused, but they both use processes that vary significantly. Laser fat removal refers to a non-invasive procedure that uses laser technology to break down fat cells without the need for incisions or suction – it is entirely non-contact.

These treatments work by heating fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body over time. With no recovery period, laser fat removal is a convenient option for those looking for a gradual, non-surgical way to reduce fat in targeted areas. Laser fat removal is usually applied in a way that targets larger areas – rather than one specific area – in order to achieve a more natural, gradual body sculpting result.

Laser lipolysis, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive procedure that requires a small incision and the insertion of a cannula to directly remove melted fat from the body.

While still far less invasive than traditional liposuction, laser lipolysis is more targeted and immediate than non-invasive laser fat removal. This method is ideal for treating smaller, more specific areas of the body where fat is particularly stubborn.

Laser Fat Removal Procedure & Recovery

The Procedure

Laser fat removal stands out as a cutting-edge and non-invasive method to target excess fat and reshape the body. Treatment is usually delivered by a “green” laser, such as the Emerald Laser, due to its selective fat absorption properties. Practitioners direct the laser energy to the target area of the body, usually covering a relatively large portion of the body for a more natural contouring result.

The treatment is entirely pain-free, with most people only reporting a slight tingling sensation during treatment.

Post-Procedure Recovery

There is virtually zero downtime associated with laser fat removal, unlike most other treatment options. This unique benefit means patients can continue with daily tasks straight after treatment, making it both convenient and effective.

Treatment results generally take around 4 weeks to become noticeable, with maximum results achieved at approximately 12 weeks post-treatment.

Comparisons with Other Techniques

In contrast to traditional liposuction, laser fat removal presents a less invasive alternative that eliminates discomfort and requires no recovery time.

Similarly to liposuction, laser fat removal can be used to target localized fat deposits, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking to sculpt specific areas of their bodies.

Laser fat removal offers gradual results and may not be the best option for significant fat loss – it is generally suitable for those with a BMI of 30+ who want to lose up to 6 inches on their waistline.

Final Thoughts

Laser fat removal stands out as an effective non-invasive procedure designed to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat from targeted areas of the body.

When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, it is possible for the results of laser fat reduction to be long-lasting, providing noticeable but natural treatment results.

Laser lipolysis offers a safe and effective alternative for those looking to enhance their appearance through contouring. It is one of the few weight loss treatments that result in zero downtime, with minimal risks compared to surgical liposuction.
