subject: When Deciding On Liposuction Oakland Residents Are Choosing Non Ablative Procedures More Often [print this page] When deciding on techniques for liposuction Oakland dwellers are more often selecting more developed techniques that don't involve general anesthesia. Recently, the popularity of different forms of aesthetic treatments has involved a move towards lipo, especially laser lipo. More commonly, people are selecting fat removal that doesn't involve bruising, pain or risk.
The areas where laser lipo has improved in the past couple of years has meant that people are having it done for more reasons than before. More often in the past, patients wanted lipo in their hip, tummy and buttocks areas. Today, people are choosing it for their chin, face and jowl zones as well. These areas demand different types of procedures and machines.
Lasers tighten skin very well. When having the facial area treated, this aspect is important for most and many are choosing lasers for this tightening effect. The results appear far more aesthetically pleasing with a tightened skin tone. Cool lipo is the technique used most often in the facial area, and plenty of patients are choosing it when they don't need fat removal. They simply want the skin tightening effects.
There have been improvements in a number of new technologies, leading to smoother, more noticeable results. There are some machines that show surgeons exactly where they have worked, so they don't go over them again. This has meant that patients experience dimpling less often.
Local anesthetic is sometimes injected under the skin before the procedure. This improves the results of the lipo amazingly. This technique is called tumescent lipo. It spreads the laser energy more smoothly and effectively, so that results are more even.
There are many different types of laser lipo. Sometimes epinephrine is injected beneath the skin and sometimes dry techniques are used in which no liquid is injected. Dry techniques demand a specific frequency of laser or they are ineffective.
Power assisted lipo, an old fashioned technique, has been improved upon as well. Water jets are sometimes used to move the fat. This makes the lipo far gentler, so that patients experience less pain and bruising than they would with other traditional methods.
Body contouring can be done well using lasers. This allows patients who have few imperfections to tighten up on imperfect areas that don't require enormous work. Because lasers don't involve a lot of risk, many are having this kind of lipo done for less major problems.
Lipo should only be an option when diet and exercise doesn't have a result. When it's performed without any effort towards lifestyle improvements, patients usually reverse the effects of their procedures very quickly. Patients should thus always try exercise and dietary improvements before resorting to lipo.
There are a number of different machines available today for different forms of laser lipo. They all remove fat and contour the body, but they're not equally effective. Lasers should be at an optimal frequency to be efficient when tumescence isn't used. Higher frequencies can burn the tissue and skin. Lower frequencies show no results. When selecting a technique for laser liposuction Oakland patients should research the pros and cons of all the different procedures before choosing one.
