Anytime new technology is released or given press, everyone wants to find out about it.  It is a great way to pique people's interest and it can be dangerous if people self-prescribe treatments.

For about one year and a half, Dr. Heil has been carrying out a similar treatment.

It is a laser lipolisis treatment, which liquefies the fat before it is removed from the body, he accounted. Standard lipo basically removes the fat in its normal state.

This surgical treatment, which Dr. Heil said costs about $2,800¬$4,000 for the first region, has some distinct benefits. It aids in tightening the skin. Also, nearly all patients have less swelling and pain as compared to one who underwent a regular liposuction procedure. Dr. Heil also mentioned that although, for most, this is an outpatient treatment, normally, a patient should take a couple of days to heal.

Dr. Heil also mentioned that it is crucial to go with the right patient for the right treatment. He said,

The best candidates are people who have small areas to treat. This would be used to contour those small unwanted trouble spots that diet and exercise seem to still leave us with.

Also, another bonus of this procedure is that it lacks scarring. Dr. Heil attested,

So this is the lipo scar that fools the other people who have had lipo.

One should know that this is still a surgical procedure, and just like any other surgery, there is the danger of infection. However, if the operation is carried out properly, the risks are minimal, according to Dr. Heil.
