CoolLipo
Dr. Day at Day Medical Salon has Cool Lipo the minimally invasive laser assisted lipolysis. This technology uses lasers to break up fat and remove it. The unique wavelength of the Cool Lipo laser system directly contracts collagen and tightens the skin. This is where traditional liposuction fails. The tightening of the collagen will give you that extra mile for your cosmetic dollar.
How Does Cool Lipo work?
We are born with a finite number of adipocytes or fat cells. As we gain weight, the triglycerides in the fat cells increase in volume. Likewise, losing weight depletes the cells of the fat. Cool Lipo utilizes the 1320 nm wavelength to liquefy and destroy the cellular component of the fat cell. In addition, this wavelength stimulates collagen to proliferate providing skin tightening long after the procedure is complete. An added feature of Cool Lipo is that it has a short pulse width ensuring that only the fat cells are targeted and not the surrounding non fatty tissue.
What areas can Cool Lipo treat?
Cool Lipo is specifically designed to treat smaller areas such as the face and neck. It is also used for the arms and small fatty zones. There are several laser lipolysis devices but Cool Lipo with its unique wavelengths target the fat and stimulates collagen that will promote skin tightening.
Will I miss work with Cool Lipo?
In most cases, Cool Lipo is performed in an office setting under local anesthesia. This makes the procedure substantially safe since any risks of general anesthesia are avoided. There is minimal down time and depending on the area, it is possible to return to work in a day or so. Dr. Day will want to follow up with you so you must allow for post operative visits. Call Dr. Day today for a consultation and see if Cool Lipo is right for you.
