Lipo-plastic Laser EQUIPMENTS

Low level laser for liposuction
Reduction of downtime,/ bruising (approx 30%)

Low-level laser-assisted liposuction (LLLL), known as the Neira 4 L technique, is an excellent adjuvant tool for the surgeon practicing liposculpture. A low-level laser is used to create a transitory pore in the cell membrane of the adipocyte to move fat from inside the cell to the interstitial space outside without killing the cell. LLLL has been performed successfully in in-vitro and human adipose tissue cultures. It protects the patient from the surgical trauma of liposuction by protecting and preparing tissues for the surgical trauma; modulating the inflammatory response to prevent short and long-term side effects of surgery; and improving the quality and quantity of the healing process by accelerating recovery time, modulating secondary cicatrization, and preventing

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) before liposuction has been found to reduce the operative trauma leading to less downtime and post-op bruising. LLLT results in the breakage of the fat cell membrane leading to 80% cell death after 5-10mins. It has been researched extensively for the past 8yrs. In addition to reducing downtime, it also adds to
the safety of the procedure. Training will be provided.
