Body Contouring & Skin Tightening

Overview

Laser lipolysis uses advanced technologies combining diode laser applicators to reduce unwanted fat and contour body areas in a safe and effective way. Combination with radiofrequency helps to tighten and smoothen out the skin at the same time, improving cellulite and texture. They are designed for patients seeking a non-surgical approach to improve body shape and skin firmness.

Depending on the machine type, laser lipolysis can be more comfortable than cryolipolysis (where the fat cells are subjected to freezing). There will be a warm sensation when the applicators are put on, and is comfortable enough for some people to take even a nap!

The laser lipolysis device is able to treat up to 4 areas at once, making the treatment process more efficient than many other contouring devices.
