WHAT IS LASERLIPOLYSIS (LASER LIPOSUCTION)?
Laserlipolysis (Laser Liposuction), carried out by Dr Ivan Puah, is a laser-assisted liposuction that breaks down the fat cells into liquified fat, which is then removed through suction. Apart from melting fat, laser energy also stimulates collagen production via tissue coagulation and helps to break the septa bands that cause fat accumulation and skin dimpling.
ARE THERE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LASERLIPOLYSIS?
Yes, there are two types: Non-invasive and minimally invasive.
Non-invasive laser lipolysis
Non-invasive laser lipolysis is used in non-medical settings such as medispa and is performed by a therapist. An applicator will be applied to the part of your body that requires fat reduction, and multiple treatments are usually needed.
HOW DOES LASERLIPOLYSIS (LASER LIPOSUCTION) WORK?

How long will the treatment take?
Depending on the number of areas to be treated, Laserlipolysis (Laser Liposuction) generally takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, depending on the treatment areas.
