The new SlimLipo laser system uses a 924nm and combination 925/975nm laser wavelengths passed through a small fiber into the fat beneath the tummy skin. The 924nm laser is selectively absorbed by the fat and actually melts the fat. The 924/975nm combination tightens the tissue beneath the skin and pulls the skin tighter against the underlying muscles. This is new technology-previous laser liposuction machines used a 1064nm or 1308nm laser wavelength. The 924nm is absorbed by fat 5 times more than the 1064nm and 3 times more than the 1308. The result, in my experience, is more effective fat removal and skin tightening. What Are the Advantages of the Laser Tummy Tuck Over a Surgical Tummy Tuck? The most important of course is that the laser tummy tuck does not require large incisions and a surgical procedure on the abdomen. The laser liposuction fiber is placed under the skin through a tiny hole made in a hidden location in the skin. The major benefits are: • No Long Surgical Scars • Qui
