Cool Lipo is a laser-assisted lipolysis system made by CoolTouch that uses a Yag laser to gently liquefy fat cells so they can be permanently removed to improve neck and body contours. In addition to permanent fat removal, Cool Lipo can also offer skin tightening effects.
Cool Lipo Indications
Fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise can be effectively reduced with minimally invasive Cool Lipo treatment. Cool Lipo is ideal for removing fat in areas that are difficult to correct with traditional liposuction, such as the chin and neck area. Cool Lipo may also be used for permanent fat reduction in the following body areas:
- Back and bra line
- Male chest
- Waist and abdomen
- Hips and love handles
- Buttocks
- Inner and outer thighs
- Knees and ankles
The Cool Lipo Procedure
Cool Lipo utilizes a laser with a 1320nm wavelength to break up fat so that it can be permanently removed with a cannula (a small suction device). The procedure is FDA-approved and may be performed under local anesthesia.
The 1320nm wavelength of the Cool Lipo laser targets water in connective tissue for collagen rejuvenation and produces a skin tightening effect that can continue to improve skin elasticity for 3 -4 months after the procedure.
Cool Lipo Recovery
After Cool Lipo, recovery typically takes only a few days to a week. Many patients return to work as soon as the following day, however not everyone heals this quickly, so a few days of downtime may be necessary.
In addition to wearing bandages on your incision sites the first few days following Cool Lipo, you may need to wear a compression garment following your Cool Lipo procedure, which helps promote optimal skin contraction in the treated area.
Full results are typically visible six to twelve months after Cool Lipo, however most side effects, including swelling, bruising and discomfort, resolve within a few weeks.
