Dr. Chamsuddin explains that when using liposuction with laser lipolysis, the result is a well-sculpted, tighter abdomen without surgery and a faster recovery time. The way it works, the laser's thermal (thermal) energy melts fat while typical liposuction removes it. . This procedure actually triggers the production of new collagen, which is the main protein giving skin its tone, texture and ability to stretch. The laser induces collagen contraction.
