Prolipo- another B.S. treatment for removing fat!

What is prolipo?

Everyone us trying to suck fat from the body with innovative methods. While liposuction remains the gold standard and works well, many other crappy treatments have been developed and one of them is prolipo. Prolipo does not involve any major surgery. in fact uses a laser. The laser is fired at the fat pockets and the fat dissolves. One does not even need any general anesthesia

How does prolipo work?

The vendors of this therapy recommend use of lasers. the very fine hollow laser fibers are inserted into the fat pockets. The heat generated then dissolves the fat which is then removed from the body. The manufacturers of ProLipo claim that in addition to removing fat, the heat from the laser also induces remodeling of collagen fibers which results in tightening of skin. The eventual result is a well-contoured skin, which is smooth, soft and much younger looking (how many times have we heard this same story again and again!)

Can prolipo be used instead of liposuction?

No, Prolipo is not a substitute for liposuction. It is a complementary technique used when the resistant fat pockets still remain after exercise or liposuction.

Who is a candidate for prolipo?

In general, most people are candidates for ProLipo except diabetics, those who have an active skin infection or individuals who are on blood thinners.

Where can prolipo be performed?

Prolipo can be performed on any part of the body including the face, neck, upper arms, back, chest, waist, hip, thighs, buttocks, pubis, and knees.
