Laser Liposuction, also known as laser lipolysis, is one of the popular fat removal treatments. This procedure is often recommended to those who want to lose weight in a much shorter period. The treatment is considered minimally invasive and the results are permanent. That’s why the popularity of this procedure increases around the world.

Before & After (Venus Bliss)
Benefits of Laser Liposuction
- Great for different treatment areas: It can be performed on a variety of body areas, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck, chin, and upper arms.
- Complimentary Procedures: They can be used in conjunction with other body contouring treatment procedures, such as tummy tucks, to achieve a more comprehensive and dramatic transformation. For example, laser liposuction can be used to contour the waist and hips, while a tummy tuck can be used to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles.
- Fast Recovery: The recovery period after laser liposuction is typically shorter than that of traditional liposuction. The incisions made during the procedure are small and typically heal quickly. The patient may be able to return to normal activities within a few days and can expect to see the full results of the procedure within several weeks.
- Improving Skin: Not only does this procedure remove fat but also improves natural collagen production. As a result, the skin is tightened and gets a better overall appearance. To learn more about how collagen contributes to skin health, read the mentioned article.
- No pain or risk of infection: The treatment involves minimal incision, so the risk of pain and infection is very low. The laser energy is also controlled and doesn’t damage the surrounding tissues. As a result, you’ll have a comfortable recovery period with minimum side effects.
Laser Liposuction Procedure
Pre-Treatment Care
There are a few instructions that you should consider before the treatment to get the best results:
- Quit smoking
- Cut back on alcohol for a few days
- Don’t take blood-thin medications such as aspirin and warfarin.
The Main Procedure
Laser lipolysis is done in an office environment. The beginning of treatment starts differently based on the type of lipolysis that we’re performing. If the procedure is minimally invasive, local anesthesia is applied to numb the targeted area. You’ll be totally awake during the process. But if the procedure is non-invasive, we don’t use anesthesia anymore.
This is how the main procedure works:
- We make a small incision in your skin.
- Then, the laser is inserted through the incision to heat and melt fat cells.
- Using a small tube, the melted fat is suctioned out.
- The procedure is done by closing and covering the incision.
This was the process of minimally invasive lipolysis. The non-invasive procedure is the same but doesn’t involve an incision. The laser is directly applied to the target area and you also feel the warm and cool sensations.
After Treatment:
To achieve the best results in a short recovery period, it’s recommended to wear a thin tube near your incision to drain fluid and avoid swelling. Compression garments also can help with speeding up the healing and improving the results.
If your procedure is non-invasive, you don’t even need post-treatment care. In this case, just follow any guidelines that the operator gives you.
Smart Lipo Recovery Time
Recovery time after smart liposuction can vary depending on the size of the area treated and the individual patient’s healing process. Most people can return to work and normal activities within a few days, but it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least a few weeks.
The results of Smartlipo can be seen immediately, but it can take several weeks or months for the final results to be visible. The procedure can effectively remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, resulting in a more contoured and shapely appearance.
The laser energy used in the procedure can also stimulate collagen production, which can result in tighter, smoother skin after the procedure.
Is Laser Lipolysis Safe?
It’s important to keep in mind that, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks and possible complications associated with laser liposuction.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and is considered to be minimally invasive. The laser energy used in the procedure is carefully controlled to target and destroy the fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This helps to reduce the risk of complications and side effects.
Smart Lipo’s common side effects are:
- Bruising and swelling
- Numbness or tingling in the treated area
- Infection
- Scarring
- Changes in skin color or texture
- Asymmetry or unevenness in the treated area

Laser Liposuction vs Traditional Liposuction
In older methods of liposuction, which we mention as traditional Liposuction here, a cannula is used to remove extra fat physically. This procedure often causes bleeding and even trauma. In Laser Lipo, on the other hand, we use laser energy to safely melt fat cells and then remove them. To learn more about liposuction vs laser lipo differences, read this section:
- Invasiveness: The traditional method is more invasive since mechanical methods such as tissues are used for removing fat. The laser method only uses energy to melt the extra fat, so it’s totally non-invasive.
- Recovery Time: The recovery period is usually longer in the traditional method. You need time to heal potential bruising, swelling, and trauma. Laser Liposuction doesn’t cause much discomfort and you can go back to your normal activities sooner.
- Skin Tightening Effects: While laser liposuction is used to improve skin tightening and body contouring, the traditional method doesn’t have the same effects. It’s because the heat of the laser stimulates collagen production, but the traditional method could actually lead to a loose skin after the surgery.
- Safety: As we mentioned earlier, traditional liposuction involves higher risk of bleeding and bruising. But the procedure is more controlled in laser lipo and doesn’t cause any major pain or scars.
- The Range of Usage: Traditional liposuction is exclusively used for removing large volumes of fat. Laser lipo not only does the same but also is used for various body areas. Some areas such as the chin or inner thighs, which are difficult and delicate for traditional liposuction, can be reached with the laser method.
