Liposuction Vs. LipoLift

Unwanted fat can be removed with minimal pain and downtime using the SlimLipo™ by Palomar. The laser is slipped through a very small hole in the skin and passed back and forth while it slowly dissolves the fat and destroys the fat cells. The fat is then gently sucked out through a small cannula. Unlike liposuction there is minimal pain, bruising and downtime. Unlike liposuction the skin is tightened during the course of the procedure. One to two liters of fat can be removed during the course of this elegant procedure. Treatment areas include abdomen, flanks, back, arms, neck, and thighs.
