Everything You Need to Know About Laser Lipo Before Your First Session

Traditional Liposuction: This well-established technique involves the direct removal of fat deposits through a suction process. Our skilled surgeons perform this procedure by making small incisions and using a cannula to break up and remove fat tissue. Traditional liposuction is particularly effective for removing larger volumes of fat and achieving significant body contouring. While it may involve more bruising and swelling due to the mechanical nature of the procedure, our team at Advanced Health of Oakbrook ensures comprehensive post-operative care to facilitate smooth recovery. Patients can expect to wear compression garments to aid healing and reduce swelling, with recovery taking several weeks.

Laser Liposuction: We also offer laser liposuction, a cutting-edge procedure that utilizes laser technology to enhance fat removal. This technique involves inserting a laser fiber through small incisions to target fat cells, liquefying them for easier removal. The laser not only assists in fat reduction but also stimulates collagen production, promoting skin tightening in the treated areas. With its minimally invasive nature, laser liposuction generally results in less bruising and swelling, offering a quicker recovery and less discomfort. It’s particularly suited for patients looking to address smaller, more targeted areas of fat.

Deciding between these two procedures depends on various factors, including the volume of fat to be removed, desired results, and individual health considerations. Our experienced plastic surgeons are committed to providing personalized consultations to help determine the best approach for each patient. We focus on understanding your unique goals and medical history to recommend the most suitable and effective treatment plan.

Our services utilize advanced laser technology to liquefy fat cells, allowing for their gentle removal through suction. This method not only enhances precision in fat removal but also promotes skin tightening, providing a more contoured and refined body shape.

Common areas treated with laser liposuction at Advanced Health of Oakbrook include the abdomen, where stubborn fat often resists diet and exercise, and the flanks, commonly known as love handles. By addressing these regions, we help patients achieve a more streamlined silhouette and enhance their body’s natural curves.

We also offer treatments for the thighs, both inner and outer, to reduce the appearance of saddle bags and create a sculpted look. For those struggling with excess fat in the upper arms, or “bat wings,” our laser lipo can provide significant improvements in tone and smoothness.

Additionally, our skilled practitioners can target the neck and chin area, effectively reducing a double chin and improving the overall contour of the jawline for a more youthful profile. The upper back, particularly near the bra line, is another area where laser lipo can make a difference, resulting in a smoother contour.

Laser liposuction, or laser lipo, is a minimally invasive procedure that targets and removes excess fat using advanced laser technology. At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction, which is why we use cutting-edge techniques to ensure a smooth and relatively painless experience. During the procedure, we administer local anesthesia to numb the targeted area, significantly reducing discomfort. Most of our patients describe the sensation as mild tingling or warmth rather than pain.

Following the procedure, it’s common to experience some soreness or tenderness, similar to the feeling after a rigorous workout. However, this is typically mild and temporary. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and recommend over-the-counter pain medications to help manage any discomfort during your recovery. Swelling and bruising may occur, but usually subside within a short period.

Choosing Advanced Health of Oakbrook means opting for a practice that values your comfort and safety. Our minimally invasive approach, combined with the expert use of local anesthesia, ensures a more comfortable experience compared to traditional liposuction methods. We invite you to consult with our qualified medical professionals to discuss your goals and set realistic expectations for pain management and recovery.

In the days leading up to your session, staying well-hydrated is important, and our team recommends drinking plenty of water to facilitate the removal of fat cells and enhance the overall results. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption can be beneficial. It is also recommended to refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider, as these can increase the risk of bruising.

On the day of your appointment, dress comfortably in loose-fitting clothing to ensure ease of movement and access to the areas being treated. Arrive at our clinic with clean skin, free from lotions, oils, or any other products, as these can interfere with the laser’s effectiveness. Lastly, try to relax and maintain a positive mindset, as stress can impact your body’s response to the treatment. By taking these preparatory steps, you can help maximize the benefits of your Laser Lipo session at Advanced Health of Oakbrook and support a smooth recovery process. Our team is here to provide you with the highest level of care and ensure your experience is as comfortable and effective as possible.
