The difference between laser lipolysis and liposuction The difference between laser lipolysis and liposuction

Laser lipolysis and liposuction are two different weight loss methods. They mainly remove excess fat from our body and help us achieve the goal of losing weight. So what are the differences between laser lipolysis and liposuction? Let's take a look at them together.

1. Different price ranges

Laser lipolysis: more expensive, generally 8,000-15,000 yuan, suitable for small areas of excess fat.

Traditional liposuction: relatively cheap, generally between 2,000 and 8,000 yuan, suitable for local obesity.

2. Different wound sizes

Laser lipolysis: No surgery is required, and the incision is only 1-2 mm;

Traditional liposuction: trauma is 0.5-1.0 cm.

3. Different recovery times after surgery

Laser lipolysis: The swelling will disappear in about a week and the recovery time is 1-2 months.

Traditional liposuction: Stitches can be removed in 7 days, swelling can be eliminated within 2 weeks, and the best weight loss effect can be achieved in 3-6 months.

4. Different skin smoothness after surgery

Laser lipolysis: It can dissolve and absorb the fat accumulated in the deep layer, and at the same time, it can finely carve the superficial fat, thus avoiding the unevenness after the operation;

Traditional liposuction: Uneven liposuction during the operation, or excessive liposuction at a single point, can easily lead to uneven skin.

Laser lipolysis does not require surgery, and its trauma is only about 1-2 mm, while the trauma of liposuction is about 0.5-1.0 cm; the surgical process is also different! The pain level of laser lipolysis during the treatment process is much lower than that of liposuction surgery, and it does not require a recovery period; while liposuction is painful and requires a certain recovery period. The biggest difference between the two is that laser lipolysis has the function of deeply acting on fat. It can dissolve and absorb the fat accumulated in the deep layer, and at the same time, it can carefully carve out the superficial fat, so as to avoid the uneven phenomenon after lipolysis; while if liposuction is not properly handled during the operation, it is easy to cause uneven skin.

Laser lipolysis or liposuction, which is better?

First of all, let's talk about laser lipolysis. Its advantage is that it is minimally invasive. Only a one-millimeter needle puncture is needed to complete liposuction without leaving scars. So this only requires a small amount of local anesthesia, and the whole process is painless. There is less bleeding and it is not so easy to swell, so the recovery is relatively faster. The important thing is that laser lipolysis is not easy to cause loose skin, and it is also very effective for orange peel fat, and it can also increase postoperative contractility. Laser lipolysis can achieve more uniform fat removal in all parts of the body, and the effect of removing fat droplets is also more delicate. The incision of liposuction surgery is about three to five millimeters, which is more traumatic and bleeds more, so the recovery is slower. Liposuction surgery will be more painful, and you will need to wear a pressure garment for about a month, and it will take about half a month to reduce swelling.

How Laser Lipolysis and Liposuction Work

Laser lipolysis: Use a fat locator to accurately locate the deep fat layer, then inject the lipolysis solution into the deep fat layer to quickly dissolve the subcutaneous fat tissue. Then use a special laser, after computer digital positioning, to irradiate the obese area for several minutes outside the body to dissolve the body fat and excrete it.

Traditional liposuction: Inject swelling fluid, usually saline, into the fat area, use brute force to break up the fat particles, and then suck out the damaged fat particles through negative pressure.
