In order to meet the needs of consumers, there are various means of weight loss in the market nowadays, and laser lipolysis for weight loss has won the attention of many people by virtue of its small incision and few serious side effects. Although beauty hospitals have always said that laser lipolysis is safe and effective, we should also understand that there are safety risks associated with any weight loss surgery, so here's a look at what are the hazards of laser lipolysis for weight loss.
The principle of laser lipolysis
Laser lipolysis begins with the injection of drugs into the fat elimination area to soften and break down the fat. Then use the special laser of certain energy, after computer digital positioning, and irradiate the obese parts outside the body for several minutes, through the irradiation of the special laser to make the microcirculation capillaries in the fat tissue absorb heat energy, thus accelerating the reaction of the drug, causing the cell membrane of the fat cells to atrophy or even rupture, and the fat will apoptosis and metabolize out of the body by itself, so as to achieve obvious slimming effect.
Hazards of laser lipolysis
No serious hazards have been found with laser lipolysis for weight loss, but the following side effects may occur after the procedure, such as
Seroma
If the amount of laser lipolysis is excessive and the postoperative pressure is not appropriate, the larger cavities under the skin will be filled with serum-like fluid, forming a seroma. Smaller seromas will absorb on their own after pressure bandaging, while larger ones may require aspiration or incision to be released. The larger the seroma, the less favorable the recovery.
Skin burns
Improperly set machine parameters can cause burns due to high skin surface temperatures.
Pain
Although laser lipolysis does not require surgical opening to, there will also be a certain degree of pain, which will gradually disappear 3 days after surgery and generally does not require special treatment.
Muscle damage
As lipolysis damages the muscle layer under the deep fascia, especially the calf, it can make the muscle fibers break and bleed, the bleeding is not easily discharged, the pressure in the fascia cavity is increased, compressing the nerve vessels, which can affect the nerve and muscle function, and serious pain and activity function limitation can occur.
This is often the result of inexperienced operation and rough action, and the side effects of such lipolysis should be dealt with by a doctor immediately.
Advantages of laser lipolysis
Small post-operative incision
Laser lipolysis uses a 1 to 2 mm optical fiber to emit laser light into the fat layer without damaging the skin, blood vessels or nervous system, and bleeding is barely observable to the naked eye.
90% pure fat rate
Laser lipolysis has an amazing 90% fat purity rate, which allows you to dissolve more fat at once, ensuring the desired liposuction results. Laser lipolysis with its unique fat solution liquefies the fat in all directions, and dissolves the dissolved fat out of the body at the same time, significantly increasing the amount of pure fat discharged.
Smooth skin
Compared with traditional liposuction, laser lipolysis is done by sweeping the laser energy evenly one part at a time, with a gentle transition between the surgical area and the non-surgical area, avoiding unevenness and smooth, tight and non-sagging skin.
The laser used in laser lipolysis only works on the set fat layer, which not only does not hurt the surface skin, but also accelerates the self-repair of skin elastic fibers and stimulates collagen production, so that the skin that has been sucked with fat remains tight, smooth and spacious.
