Use Laser for Liposuction
The liposuction with laser has generated much interest. The experts recommend as a method that produces less trauma to the tissues that other techniques, little bleeding and a decrease of pain and postoperative complications.
Different techniques of liposuction
Liposuction laser. Also known in the market as laserlipólisis, is the modern technology that exists in the field of liposuction. It is important to note that the liposuction laser differs from the traditional liposuction basically that is used the laser to destroy the fat (to be suck using a shank, as in any other technique of liposuction). Traditional Liposuction (dry). With this technique is sucked the fat without the help of any liquid. This method is used very little it can cause loss of abundant blood and damage to tissues and nerves that are next to the fatty tissue.
Liposuction moist. This is one of the techniques more usual, which is to inject a liquid with medication that causes blood vessels are closed, thus avoiding excessive bleeding and allowing the doctor draw more fat of the body of the patient. Tumescent liposuction stated. It is a technique similar to the wet technique but with a greater amount of liquid. This amount of liquid is approximately 2 to 3 times the amount of fatty tissue that is being drawn. The area to be lipo-aspire swells and placed rigid. This technique is less traumatic for the tissue.
Liposuction assisted by ultrasound (UAL). This method was launched in Europe in the year 1993, and later in the United States in 1995. The principle which is based this type of liposuction is similar to the mechanism of the apparatus of ultrasound used by the dental hygienists to eliminate the plate tooth. A wave of sound is sent through the shank to help emulsifying the fat found in the vicinity. The way of range of this type of cannula can be compared to the movement of a toothbrush electric. The cannula vibrates quickly within a range of small space. As in all forms of liposuction the shank is connected to the machine of aspiration. The liposuction ultrasonic had much boom makes about 7 years and the advantage that this technique is to facilitate the removal of the fat especially in areas where the fat is much more attached and is more difficult to remove as in the back.
Liposuction assisted by air or medicinal: LIPOMATIC. It is a simple method and that practically does not require maintenance, in addition to lack of risks to the patient.
Liposuction with laser. The liposuction laser began to carry out in the United States by professional teams in the year 2007 and in our country takes little time apply. According to experts liposuction with laser is less aggressive than traditional and incorporates several advantages over it, as a postoperative less painful and faster and less time off for patients. However, this technique is not indicated in all cases, but only for specific areas of the body. The technique gets better results for specific areas and not for major obesidades, in which is more appropriate to apply other techniques more traditional.
The laserlipolisis uses a light beam of a laser to destroy the cell of fat (the adipocito). The novelty of this technique is that the laser does not impair other tissues. In this way, to come into contact with the fat, the “melts,” causing its liquefaction (the fat is liquefied, becoming an emulsion semi-liquid that can be removed or suck easily). This cannula (tube) which is introduced and where it renders the laser light measured only one millimetre diameter (less than half the diameter of the cannulae normal liposuction) and has a great precision to slip by all the affected area.
Advantages of the liposuction with laser compared to other techniques.
The laserlipolisis is less aggressive than other methods more traditional and incorporates several advantages over it, as a postoperative less painful and faster and less time off for patients. However, is not indicated in all cases, but only for specific areas of the body. Another important advantage compared to traditional methods, is that at the same time to be merging the fat are warming the collagen fibers of the skin from what is being created a new collagen that regenerates fully the skin and that stimulates the tissues.
In any case this type of technique achieves better results than other types of liposuction more invasive as to create new collagen is obtained greater tension and reaffirmation of the skin and therefore the aesthetic result is better. On the other hand patients are less time off and may in a short time resume their normal activities. Thus, for example, if a person is operated the weekend Monday already can return to their work. The liposuction laser is usually performed under local anesthesia or peridural, depending that depend on the zone to treat. The laserlipólisis can last from one to three (or more) hours that will vary according to the area and the amount of fat to be removed. Not being a treatment as invasive for the patient, the pains of postoperative will be lower than those of a liposuction traditional. The same is true with the inflammation, as it did not manipulate the areas with as much force, the affected areas are inflated less.
It is important to know that this type of liposuction only is indicated for specific areas of the body as the eyelids, the inner side of the arms, the cartridge or areas that remain below the buttocks, but is not indicated to remove large volumes.
Disadvantages of the liposuction with laser. Among the disadvantages of the liposuction laser is that if you want to perform a liposcultpture, fat extracted with the technique of laser may not be grafting again in other parts of the body.
Contraindications liposuction with laser.
This method is contraindicated in patients with clotting problems, with a systemic disease or for those who have intolerance to anesthetics. The use of laser for the liposuction is a recent technical but its results are promising; can handle the area that you want and with the smaller low social possible.
