-Laser body sculpting is a new term used to describe fat removal and skin tightening achieved with the new laser liposuction technique. Laser liposuction can achieve very exciting laser body sculpting results.
-The term "body contouring" has been use in Plastic Surgery to refer to procedures designed to improve the general appearance of the body shape. Traditionally body contouring has been used to describe breast augmentation, tummy tuck, thigh and buttock lift and arm lift and other surgical procedures. The problem with traditional body contouring plastic surgery for many people is the scarring associated with surgery as in the tummy tuck.
-With the advent and popularization of liposuction, the term body sculpting or liposculpture was used to describe the use of liposuction to improve body contour with the use of liposuction as opposed to surgical procedures which required skin removal.
-Many of the results achieved with traditional liposuction do not live up to the use of the term "sculpting" as traditional liposuction often leaves loose skin and skin irregularities. The results achieved with laser liposuction unit are truly refined and worthy of the use of the term laser body sculpting.
-The new laser liposuction and body sculpting technology melts fat and tightens skin with much less trauma than traditional liposuction. Body sculpting with traditional liposuction often left loose skin and also often created contour deformities or depressions in the skin where fat had been removed beneath the skin.
-The new laser body sculpting and fat removal technique uses a tiny laser fiber, much smaller than a liposuction cannula, to melt fat and tighten skin at the same time. The result is a much more refined skin appearance; the skin is tighter and smooth without marks and contour deformities. This type of result was impossible using traditional liposuction and or abdominoplasty surgery. The term laser body sculpting certainly is appropriate.
