When does one see results after prolipo?
The results after ProLipo are visible within a few days. Tissue shrinkage is obvious once the swelling subsides. The remodeling of the tissues goes on for a few more weeks and the final cosmetic benefits are not seen for a few months.
Does everyone respond to prolipo?
No, less than 10% of individuals see a decent result. Most individuals end up with a lot of pain, disappointment, and money lost.
Can complications occur with prolipo?
Sure, anytime you start burning tissues with heat, complications are bound to happen. On cyberspace, most people complain about pain, scars, skin discoloration, and no benefit.
What is cost of prolipo?
Prolipo is considered a cosmetic procedure and not covered by any medical insurance company. The costs of the treatment depend on the number of areas being treated and the amount of fat removed. For removal of small pockets of fat, the procedure can cost about $400-$500. Larger areas of treatment can cost anywhere from $1,500-2,500.
Final point
Before you set out to get this procedure done settle the cost with the surgeon. Even though complications are rare with ProLipo, they do occur. So choose your provider with care. For those who have little money, change your diet and start walking. This is safe and will get you the result if you are patient and motivated. For those who have money and like to experience pain, this is your opportunity.

Prolipo: Part 2
How much fat can be removed?
The amount of fat that can be removed is quite extensive. However, very large fat pockets usually require a few sessions to achieve the best cosmetic result.
Is prolipo a permanent cure for fat?
Prolipo is not a permanent cure for fat or obesity. All individual who undergo ProLipo should enter an exercise program, and change their life style including diet if they want to maintain the cosmetic benefits after ProLipo.
Where is prolipo done?
Prolipo is usually done in a physician’s clinic. The area where the fat is located is infiltrated with some local anesthetic. The laser fiber is inserted into the fat pockets and activated. The heat generated dissolves the fat. The dissolve fat is often removed with a small hollow vacuum tube. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of fat being treated; in most cases the procedure takes about 60-90 minutes.
What happens after the procedure?
After the procedure, most individuals develop some mild bruising, swelling and redness. These transient side effects resolve in about 5-7 days. Compressive garments are usually recommended when the procedure is done on the abdomen and extremities. These garments help decrease the swelling and improve healing. Most individuals can resume their daily life style activities within a few days.
Does the laser hurt?
You bet it does. Try touching your skin with a lighted cigarette. The doctors do numb the skin with a local anesthetic but it still hurts.

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.
