What is Lipotherme?
-
Lipotherme is a safe, effective, minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to liquefy and remove unwanted fat in targeted body zones. In addition to removing unwanted fat, Lipotherme’s thermal effect causes the skin to contract, resulting in firmer, smoother skin that further enhances your body shaping goals.
-
The clinical term for this type of procedure is laser-assisted lipolysis (also called laser lipolysis or laser lipo for short) which is an evolution of traditional liposuction.
-
Throughout history, heat has been used to promote health and well being. Lipotherme is a revolutionary technique that harnesses the power of heat generating lasers to selectively break up unwanted body fat and reshape your body.

The thermal approach to reshaping your body.

Lipotherme is a revolutionary approach that uses thermal energy to help you achieve the body you desire. If you are considering a cosmetic procedure, you owe it to yourself to talk to your doctor about Lipotherme – the latest body shaping development from Europe.

Is Lipotherm the same thing as Liposuction?
Traditional liposuction is considered a highly-invasive procedure. By contrast, Lipotherme laser lipolysis is a minimally-invasive procedure with virtually no downtime. Most patients resume normal activities the day after their procedure, however, it is recommended you wait several days before resuming strenuous activity such as exercising. Depending on your goals and physical condition, Lipotherme can be an alternative to traditional liposuction, or your doctor may recommend a combination therapy of Lipotherme with traditional liposuction.

What is Lipotherm?
Lipo means fat, and therme means heat; so Lipotherme is literally the controlled application of very low doeses of heat to liquefy fat. Once the targeted fat cells have been liquefied, they are gone forever.

Why diet and exercise aren’t always enough?
Everyone knows the way to a more shapely body is through proper diet and exercise, but sometimes this just isn’t enough to achieve the body you desire. When it comes to losing fat in certain body zones, multiple factors including age, genetics and hormones can make it all but impossible. Lipotherme was developed for women and men who have reasonable body mass index (BMI) yet still have stubborn areas of fat they would like to remove.

How soon will I see results?
You will see immediate results due to the reduction in fat and the instantaneous skin contraction. Results will continue to improve over the next 2 days to 4 months depending on your unique body chemistry. All patients report decrease in the targeted body zone.

How does Lipotherme work?
The doctor will use a local anesthetic to numb the area that is to be treated. Once the area is fully numbed, the doctor will use a canula which is a small metal tube to allow the laser access to the fat cells. Fat cells, which are highly receptive to thermal energy, are liquefied and removed permanently.

Is Lipotherme safe?
Yes, Lipotherme has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for laser- assisted lipolysis.
|
| |
How many sessions will I need?
One session is generally all a patient needs to see satisfactory results.
|
| |
When can I return to normal activity?
Since Lipotherme is a minimally invasive treatment, most patients can get right back to their everyday activities, depending on the area being treated. Physical activity is to be avoided for 1-2 weeks.
