The CoolLipo™ 1320 nm laser system is a revolutionary cosmetic procedure for patients seeking lipoaspiration. Traditional liposuction often means a patient has weeks of downtime, bruising and swelling. With the CoolLipo™ system, a patients' treatment is much more suitable for today's fast lifestyle. There is minimal downtime if any, and no swelling, or bruising.

This new cutting edge technology is a minimally invasive procedure that can be done in a matter of minutes with local anesthesia. CoolLipo™ significantly improves the safety and efficiency of previous surgical techniques. The new laser technology allows my patients to walk in for their appointment, and in less than an hour, walk right back out to their normal activities. Results this fast and efficient are the most coveted treatments in today's cosmetic surgery world.

From my experience with CoolLipo™, the patients agree it is the best liposuction available today. I have patients who would have previously resorted to a face lift at a moderately young age and can now avoid traditional surgery with this system. Patients are thrilled to skip the traditional anesthesia and surgery, and still achieve the same results. The skin tightening achieved through the laser assisted system is phenomenal. CoolLipo™ uses laser technology to melt and liquefy the fat within the fat cells

In addition, it smoothes and tightens the skin to decrease the looseness that one sometimes sees with traditional liposuction. It can be utilized alone to treat smaller areas of fat, such as below the chin, or in combination with liposuction to remove larger areas of fat such as in the abdomen, flanks and thighs. The 1320 nm wavelength targets dermal collagen for skin retraction and skin tightening that is great for neck laser liposuction and other areas of the body, like the area under the arms or abdomen. It is my philosophy that a minimally invasive procedure is always the best option to restore the natural and best features of an individual.
