A laser fiber liquefies fat under the skin, which is then removed with fine cannulas. According to a 2025 review in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, compared with traditional liposuction it causes less bruising and pain and allows a return to activities about 3 days earlier. It is not a weight-loss treatment: it works best in people with a stable weight and realistic expectations.<\/p><ul class=\"chips\"><li>Areas it treats<\/li><li>Ideal candidate<\/li><li>Results and risks<\/li><\/ul><\/div><nav class=\"toc\"><b>In this article<\/b><ol><li><a href=\"#s1\">What it is for<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#s2\">How it works<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#s3\">Most commonly treated areas<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#s4\">What the studies say<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#s5\">Who is a good candidate<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#s6\">Real risks<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#s7\">How to keep the result<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/nav><h2 id=\"s1\">What it is for<\/h2><p>Laser lipolysis, also called laser-assisted liposuction, is used to <strong>contour the body<\/strong> in areas where fat builds up and resists diet and exercise.
