The Many Benefits of Laser Liposuction in Chicago

Even though hundreds of thousands of liposuction procedures are carried out every single year, this surgery can be quite involved. In addition to the lengthy recovery time, many patients end up with results they dislike. Laser liposuction is an exciting and innovative procedure that allows our team in Chicago to safely liquefy stubborn body fat with a powerful laser prior to removal. This technology also stimulates the production of collagen and other important proteins to speed up your recovery and tighten the nearby skin.

A Look at Traditional Liposuction

Liposuction has remained one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world for the last three decades. Many patients are satisfied with these procedures, but this style of surgery has quite a few drawbacks as well. The act of physically extracting fat without any other techniques can do quite a bit of damage to the nearby soft tissue. Laser liposuction can produce the same amazing results without the extensive recovery and ongoing discomfort.

The Ins and Outs of Laser Lipo Technology

Lasers have been a popular tool within the cosmetic industry for many decades. Doctors can set lasers to different frequencies to tighten skin, erase blemishes, and emulsify fatty tissue. During a laser liposuction procedure, the surgeon and team will use laser energy to disrupt and destroy the fat cells before withdrawing them using specialized techniques.

The Benefits of Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Instead of staying in bed for weeks at a time, most laser lipo patients in Chicago can look forward to a reduced recovery period. While they should avoid strenuous activities for a set amount of time, they can usually return to work within just days.

One reason why recovering from laser liposuction is so much easier is because the patient’s skin will immediately begin producing additional collagen. That is the natural protein that keeps your skin tight, toned, and healthy. Laser lipo also produces results that look natural, which is what most people desire when they undergo a cosmetic procedure; they want to look better, but they don’t want it to be obvious that they had a treatment done.

To see if you can experience the benefits of laser lipo for yourself, book an appointment at aFresh® Med Spa & Plastic Surgery in Glenview. Talk to our surgeon and find out whether or not the surgery is right for you. We offer a number of liposuction options, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, VASER & Ultrasound Liposuction, and Water Lipo. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!
