2008-10-20 21:53:56 - Advanced Dermatology Skin and Cosmetic Laser Center in Milford, PA announces that in addition to traditional liposuction, liposculpture and fat transfer (augmentation) they now offer the newest procedure recently approved by the FDA for use in melting and removing fat and firming skin.

Called ProLipo, this procedure uses a laser to liquefy fat cells and is much less invasive than the traditional Liposuction procedure. An added benefit is that the laser also tightens skin so you are not left with the sagging that Liposuction alone can cause. This type of procedure has been widely used for several years in Europe, Canada, the UK,

Australia, Japan and other countries prior to being approved for use in the US. ProLipo is the latest advancement in this technology and is the most powerful.

Dr. Richard E. Buckley says 'the ProLipo procedure is a fantastic option for people who want to eliminate unwanted fat, get a more toned look and address specific problem areas. We use safe local tumescent anesthesia so the patient is awake and comfortable instead of general anesthesia. The fat is gently melted by the laser and then removed. Stitches are not needed and there is a much shorter recovery time than with traditional Liposuction. Since the fatty cells are dissolved and cannot reproduce, the results are permanent. Also, the laser serves a double purpose in that it tightens the skin in the treatment area, so you are less likely to have loose sagging skin where the fat has been removed.'
Dr. Buckley says 'The ProLipo procedure serves to sculpt and tone and is ideal for the patient who has a paunch or rolls in the tummy area, saddle bags or inner thigh problems or a double chin that they want to reduce. ProLipo can also be used on the jaw line, neck, arms, hips, buttocks, knees and calves and for female and male breast reduction.'
