Lipotherme in Louisville, Kentucky (KY)
LipoTherme is a body sculpting and contouring procedure that
uses fat-melting abilities of fiber optic lasers to effectively rid fat with
less discomfort, trauma, bruising, swelling, downtime and blood loss. Healing
times are also faster and general anesthesia is not necessary.
After numbing the treatment area with a local anesthetic, a
small cut is made to allow a thin, hollow metal tube (cannula) to be guided
into the incision. The tube’s hollow center lets the specialist insert a laser
fiber through which laser energy is discharged. The heat released softens the
fat and liquefies the fat cells. The procedure is often used in combination
with traditional liposuction. In this case, the liquefied fat is suctioned out
through the same tube. The laser’s heat also helps smooth the skin and
encourages collagen production which, over time, can cause the treatment area
to be firmer.
Areas that can be treated include:
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Ankles
- Face (e.g. chin and cheek)
- Neck
- Arms
- Back
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Knees
Lipotherme helps remove fat from areas that are hard to rid
through diet and exercise alone. However, after the procedure, it is important
to maintain a healthy weight. Putting on too many pounds can cause new fat
cells to develop in the treatment area.
Depending on the treatment area, patients can
see immediate results, with further results to take place over the next several
months (time is needed for the body to absorb the broken down fat cells and for
swelling to subside). For better effects, Lipotherme is often used with other
fat removal techniques like traditional liposuction.
