For everything related to cosmetic, Iran’s ahead of many other countries. For laser lipolysis in Iran, it’s the affordability and high-quality of the procedure which spurs many on to travel to this country.
Read on to find out why people are choosing this country to get their body sculpting procedure done in, what the procedure involves, how much it costs, and many more.
First, let us see what is laser lipolysis!
It has been years since the widely-trusted technique of liposuction was introduced to aid those who wish for slimmer bodies. The procedure was mostly regarded as a magical one, yielding results in almost no time. However, it has its own drawbacks and shortcomings.
The advent of the newly-designed technique of laser lipolysis has opened new horizons before those who wish to get rid of their fat deposits while resting assured that they’ll be left with minimal side effects after the treatment.
Laser lipolysis, also called laser lipo or laser liposuction, has leaped forward to work miracles for excess fat, saggy bellies, unshapely thighs, and bulging waistlines.
The ultimate goal is to melt fat! Just as easy as that; or is it?! Using heat from fiber-optic lasers, this minimally invasive procedure aims to melt away body fat. The procedure isn’t used for weight loss, but rather to tighten your belly, thighs, or else.
How is laser lipolysis done in Iran?
Laser lipolysis in Iran is done in the doctor’s office or a specialized laser center. First, the doctor marks off the area on which the procedure will be done with a marker. A customized applicator pattern will target the right area.
The patient shall lie back so that the applicators fit on their body. The doctor applies local anesthesia on the area which is going to be treated. A very small incision is made so that the sculpture machine can enter the body. Afterward, the procedure will begin.
During the treatment, you will feel a cold sensation which will have a relaxing effect. These will take up to four to five minutes which will count as the warm-up phase of the treatment.
The next twenty minutes will be a little more intense as you will feel alternating sensations of warmth and cooling. This is the time when the laser destroys the fat cells beneath your layers of skin.
What will happen after laser lipolysis session?
Although laser lipolysis is considered a walk-in-walk-out procedure, you may need to get a few days off in order to have a safe period of recovery. You’ll experience bruising, swelling, and mild to moderate discomfort during this time.
How does laser liposuction differ from laser lipolysis?
Laser liposuction refers to the procedure of laser lipo when the excess fat is extracted out of the body through suction. One can generally expect to lose fat about the size of the fist from the treated area. In case suction is applied to the treatment, the results would be more dramatic and more easily noticeable.
Liposuction Vs. Laser Lipolysis
Laser lipo aims at removing the fat through the thermal effect. It can both remove the excess fat and treat the saggy skin remained from a previous liposuction.
Liposuction, however, is used when there’s a large amount of fat to be extracted. The tissue is much more manipulated and there’s more bleeding, bruising, and swelling involved.
According to a study, laser lipo has shown better clinical efficacy compared to liposuction surgery. This treatment has also a shorter and smoother recovery process. It can wipe away the stretch marks and tighten the droopy skin, while the same cannot be achieved through liposuction.
Possible Risks and Complications of Laser Lipolysis Method
Generally speaking, laser lipo is a very safe treatment. Compared to the traditional liposuction procedure, the novel laser-based development bears far fewer side effects and risks. However, patients undergoing this procedure will usually experience some bruising and swelling. These are temporary and hopefully will subside within several days.
Aside from the few specifically relevant side effects, all surgeries have some general risks including infection, bleeding, scarring, nerve injury, adverse reaction to anesthesia, and blood clots. The odds of encountering these complications in laser lipolysis, however, are low.
Liposuction, on the other hand, is generally known to bear some added risks besides those mentioned above. They include contour irregularity, asymmetry, seroma (a pocket of fluid under the skin), skin discoloration, and burn.
A practical point for your care
Before an operation, the pre-assessment team should review your health, previous tests and all medicines and supplements. Ask for written instructions on medicines, eating, drinking and aftercare that apply to your planned procedure.[1]
Planning treatment in Shiraz
Ask SanaMedTour about the appropriate specialty, appointment arrangements and practical support for your visit. The treating clinician confirms the diagnosis, treatment options, suitability and follow-up after assessment.
Request an itemised written quote identifying the clinician, facility, tests, treatment, medicines, reviews and any accommodation or transfers included.
