How does the laser in laser liposuction effect my skin?

June 3, 2012 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question :
How does the laser in laser liposuction help to improve the appearance of the skin?

Answer :
The laser which is used in laser liposuction in my practice is the Palomar SlimLipo laser. The SlimLipo laser uses two laser wavelengths to perform the laser liposuction procedure. One wavelength is designed to target fat and the other wavelength is used to target skin. In other words, the laser wavelength for skin actually treats the collagen of the skin from the undersurface of the skin. Treating the collagen leads to skin tightening and shrinkage as a secondary effect of the SlimLipo laser liposuction procedure.

Dr. Schoenfeld fixed my broken nose last St. Patty's Day and I couldn't be happier with the results. I fell on my nose multiple times as a kid and officially broke it 3 years ago, so let's just say my nose was pretty messed up and useless. I finally decided it was time to get it fixed at the beginning of 2017. Dr. Schoenfeld has a great bedside manner, is honest about expectations, and exudes a confidence that immediately made me trust him as a surgeon. The surgical team at River Road Surgery Center was also excellent. They answered all of my questions, made me feel at ease, and pumped me…

5 stars

Thanks again for the most excellent work you did on my nose -- I am just thrilled (yet still recovering.) It has made a world of difference to my breathing and I couldn't be happier with the work you did! I've almost got my smile back. Best wishes -- and thanks so much again to you (and Dawn, too). Sincerely,

5 stars

Thank you so much for not only beautifully repairing my nose, but for rearranging your schedule and going out of your way to help me in my time of need. Your friendly and distinctive assistance is appreciated more than you know. Thank you,
