Laser lipolysis also known as Laser lipo, is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses laser energy to liquefy fat cells. Laser lipo uses lasers to liquefy the fat. Laser-lipo is intended to treat stubborn pockets of excess fat; it’s not a weight loss solution. Lasers may also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which results in firmer, tighter, and smoother skin. The most popular areas for laser lipo are the arms, thighs, love handles, stomach, and chin.
