Laser Fat Removal Treatment in Canton, MI

Laser fat removal works by generating a pulse of light that transfers energy to the fat cell. The energy is absorbed by the fat cell and causes it to die. The body then disposes of the fat cells via the natural removal systems, including the digestive and lymphatic systems. Laser fat removal is a very effective and safe way to get rid of excess fat accumulation around the midsection, hips, thighs, and under the arms.

The amount of fat that can be removed via laser fat removal is different in every situation and depends upon several factors unique to each patient, including:

• The patient’s overall body fat percentage
• The desired results of the patient
• The number of treatments received
• The lifestyle of the patient
• The metabolism of the patient
• Distribution of body fat
• From where the fat is being removed
• How the patient responds to the treatment

Although the results can vary significantly based on the aforementioned factors, most people with this treatment can expect to lose around 25 pounds or the equivalent of a whole pant size. 25 pounds is only the average; some people can lose as much as 40, while others may only lose around 15 pounds. The patient’s metabolism plays a large role in the treatment’s effectiveness; those with slower metabolisms may experience less pronounced results, whereas people with faster metabolisms may experience more noticeable results. It is also important to note that the areas treated have a significant effect on the results of the treatment; patients may experience less fat loss in areas such as the arms or thighs and may experience more in areas such as the abdomen and hips, depending on the total amount of fat in each area.

Laser treatments specifically target fat cells, leaving the other cells, such as the skin and muscle cells, untouched. After the fat cells have been treated with a laser, they are broken down into smaller components, effectively rendered destroyed. These particles are removed from the body via their natural mechanisms; some parts, such as proteins or amino acids, may also be reused in other areas. While the fat cells are gone forever, unable to store any more lipids, new fat cells can form if the proper lifestyle modifications are not implemented. For example, even if a patient loses 30 pounds of fat if they continue to eat unhealthy foods and live a sedentary lifestyle, fat cells will inevitably begin to accumulate, resulting in collections of fat that need to be removed in the same manner.

There are no serious side effects or long recovery times after laser fat removal, therefore there are no special aftercare instructions. However, to maintain results, patients who receive this treatment should also commit to a healthy diet and exercise routine. This includes staying active and engaging in a 30-minute exercise at least three times a week. Regarding diet, patients are often recommended to eat a range of fruits and vegetables, plenty of healthy protein and healthy fats, as well as to avoid carbohydrates and sugars, especially refined grains and starches.
