Laser: Used to increase efficacy, decrease postop swelling, pain and bruising. Induces skin to tighten. Slim lipo is the best technique in my opinion. 877 drsisto info@drsisto.Com.

No real difference: These terms are used interchangeably. The idea is that the laser fiber is helping to "melt" away the fat and give some firming of collagen to the skin. Sometimes suction may be used to immediately remove some of the unwanted fat. Hope this helps!

Laser liposuction: Laser lipolysis can be done in conjuction with tumescent aspiration liposuction (removal of the fat after laser treats the fat). Laser lipolysis is attempted through the skin without much success but has been done via cannula through the skin and introduced in the fat before tumescent liposuction.

Little difference: Not much difference--mostly advertising hype and marketing gimmick. The laser may help the fat come out a little easier for the surgeon and theoretically is supposed to help the skin be tighter but studies have not really demonstrated this.

Laser lipo/suction: Laser lipolysis literally means fat destruction of fat with a laser. It does not necessarily involve removal of fat (with liposuction) which is left to be absorbed by the body. Laser liposuction generally includes laser lipolysis plus liposuction to evacuate the fat that has been destroyed.
