Laser fat removal is a nonsurgical option to address fat cells in specific parts of the body such as abdomen, arms and thighs. It provides an effective alternative to liposuction procedures that involve incisions and stitches as well as anesthesia and extended recovery times.
CoolSculpting, SculpSure, Vanquish and Zerona are some of the leading laser fat removal treatments, offering effective fat reduction with each option catering to different patients' needs. All four offer great solutions when it comes to eliminating fat cells but each provides best results depending on which patient it targets.
SculpSure
SculpSure is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive laser body sculpting treatment that utilizes noninvasive laser technology to target and destroy fat cells in problem areas such as the belly, love handles, under the chin and back. Patients can achieve a slimmer contour in as little as 25 minutes!
SculpSure works by targeting stubborn fat cells with hyperthermic laser energy, raising their temperature and damaging their structural integrity, leading them to eventually die.
Over time, damaged fat cells will be eliminated through your lymphatic system without leaving any scars and is safe for most patients.
SculpSure typically shows results six weeks post treatment; optimal results typically emerge at 12 weeks. Unlike CoolSculpting which uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells to death, SculpSure uses laser technology that permanently eliminates fat cells.
To achieve optimal results with SculpSure, patients are recommended to participate in two or three treatments; some people may require additional sessions for an enhanced contoured appearance.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved procedure that works by freezing fat cells to kill them through a process known as apoptosis and reduce fat cells permanently from problem areas of the body.
Laser lipo is a safe, non-surgical treatment suitable for men and women of all sizes and body types. While not meant to replace diet and exercise programs, laser lipo can help those within their ideal weight range achieve tighter, more toned appearances.
An applicator with an integrated cooling mechanism is applied directly to the area that needs treatment, then fat cells are frozen off within 35 minutes using this innovative treatment process.
Once the treatment is finished, you should see results within several months. It may require multiple sessions before reaching your desired result.
Vanquish
Vanquish is a non-invasive body shaping treatment that removes fat without surgery or recovery time, making it ideal for individuals looking to enhance problem areas like their abdomen, love handles and back.
Utilising radiofrequency (RF) energy, this therapy utilizes targeted fat cells until they die and are flushed away by your lymphatic system. Through this process of apoptosis, fat cells are eradicated permanently from your system.
Vanquish treatments use contactless RF technology to tighten skin for smoother, firmer and younger-looking results. Patients on RealSelf have reported experiencing both fat reduction and subtle skin tightening from Vanquish treatments.
Vanquish's patent Selective RF(tm) technology aims to target and reduce fat pockets by raising tissue temperature up to approximately 44degC, thus killing off fat cells and leading to fat pockets to shrink.
Zerona
Zerona is an FDA-approved, non-invasive laser treatment designed to safely and non-surgically eliminate fat cells around the waist, hips and thighs without surgery or risks. Utilizing low-level laser stimulation it works by disrupting their cell membranes causing them to liquefy and shrink instead of being killed off altogether.
These treatments work by creating a pore in fat cell membranes to allow their contents to seep out naturally through lymphatic system flushing, leading to inches lost off arms, hips and waist.
Zerona may be best known for its fat reduction abilities, but it can also help individuals heal from conditions such as pain and inflammation. Furthermore, Zerona increases circulation while simultaneously decreasing bad cholesterol - factors which can lower cardiovascular disease risks as well as risk for diabetes.
