Laser Liposuction

A Unique, Targeted Approach for Better Body Contouring with SlimLipo

Sophisticated clients are becoming more educated on the benefits of advanced, minimally invasive procedures like laser liposuction1.  Men and women want to look better and be more sculpted, without the sizable tell-tale bruises that scream "I've had work done!"  The SlimLipo body sculpting laser puts the power of well-tolerated procedures in your hands.

Palomar has enhanced traditional liposuction with SlimLipo, our body contouring laser that uses optimal wavelengths to selectively "melt" fat and coagulate soft tissue. The result?  Laser liposuction that delivers consistent aesthetic outcomes.  More importantly, clients typically experience a more rapid recovery and results that will have their friends lining up at your doorstep.

SlimLipo offers a laser-based enhancement to traditional liposuction that's easier on you and your clients. Your clients will benefit from smaller incisions, less bruising and less blood loss, all resulting in more manageable treatments and rapid recovery. You and your patient will both appreciate the smoother, improved skin that can be achieved with SlimLipo laser-assisted lipolysis.

How SlimLipo Body Contouring Works:

Laser liposuction with SlimLipo effectively treats areas of the body where there is unwanted fat, such as the abdomen, arms, flanks, thighs, neck, bra fat and chest.

The SlimLipo laser uses dual wavelengths of 924 nm and 975 nm to selectively target fat and gently "melt" it with less side effects and enhanced results.

Selective photothermolysis frees the lipids contained in the adipose tissue for easy aspiration.  The result is less tissue trauma, significant fat removal and controlled tissue heating through laser-assisted lipolysis.

The Palomar solution for laser liposuction and body contouring requires:
SlimLipo

Benefits for Clients:

  • Body sculpting through laser-assisted lipolysis.
  • Faster healing - Smaller incisions and wavelength selectivity mean less bruising, pain, blood loss and swelling.
  • Smoother skin with less contour deformities.
  • Less downtime - Many can resume normal activities within days.

Benefits for Practitioners:

  • Speed - Significantly faster than competing laser lipolysis devices.
  • Superior visualization of the treatment tip - Aiming beam shows you where you are while treating.
  • Less operator fatigue - Minimal amount of effort to move the SlimLipo treatment tip through fibrous tissue.
  • Ability to treat those who are not normally treated with traditional liposuction - Contour deformities and smaller treatment areas are easily addressed.
