A new technology in fat reduction just got recently approved by the FDA as a method for removing fat in specific areas of the body. It seems that people no longer need to stick to the option of traditional liposuction. There is however, still a lot that we need to know about laser liposuction.

What is Laser Liposuction?

Laser liposuction is a form of minimal invasive procedure that may result to some bruising in patients. In this procedure, a very small incision is made into which a 1mm cannula is then inserted. The laser tip of the instrument then comes into contact with the fats, heats the fats up and breaks them down. The melted fat can then be removed from the body immediately.

Fats that are not removed can be flushed out by the body through the lymphatic system. Laser intensity is low and can be adjusted as needed. A local anesthetic is all that is needed for laser liposuction.

Its Use?

Not everyone is built for laser liposuction, though. Although some may claim that laser liposuction can work wonders on all parts of your body, it can only really work on limited areas. Only smaller areas like the face, neck and arms can be subjected to this laser treatment.

Similar to traditional liposuction, laser liposuction is a form of body sculpting. It is therefore not a solution for obesity and cannot be used for weight loss. The appropriate candidates for this new technology are people who are fairly healthy and who have only small fat deposits.

The Benefits of Laser Liposuction

Since laser liposuction is less invasive compared to other body sculpting procedures, the patient will only experience very minimal swelling, bruising, scarring, tissue damage and pain. The incision is said to be so small that a patient no longer needs to be stitched up. This means that the rate of recovery is faster. Patients can get back on their feet in a day or two.

Aside from melting fat, laser liposuction also promotes collagen production and tightens the skin. This is a great improvement compared to traditional liposuction. In traditional liposuction, some patients end up looking worse because of a lack of ideal skin elasticity. Some doctors may use laser liposuction after sessions of traditional liposuction to help tighten the skin.

Risks

As mentioned, laser liposuction has limited uses. Traditional liposuction may still be needed for wider body areas such as the hips and thighs. It is also still a very young piece of technology. Experts agree that more studies need to be conducted to determine the possible negative side effects of this procedure.

A more serious concern that especially deserves more attention in laser liposuction is also the probable negative effects of having more fat fluid being retained in the body. Of course, the FDA would not approve something that could be potentially dangerous. It is a fact though that the full long term side effects of the procedure cannot be determined yet until it has been in use for quite some time. Be on the safe side by asking your doctor to extensively discuss the procedure with you.

Finally! Here’s an acai weight-loss program I feel confident talking-up because it comes with clinical trial proof to back it up. I call that putting your money where your mouth is. In a sea of fly-by-night acai berry diet programs AcaiBurn has emerged as a real performer, clinically proving its promise of up to 450% MORE fat loss. That blows my mind and has officially gotten my attention. That, in addition to the astonishing Before and After photos of real AcaiBurn users answers my question: Which acai diet product is really delivering on its promises? AcaiBurn, that’s which one.

Two groups of people were taken for a case study where each group was given a different supplement to use. Neither group knew which supplement they were taking. After an 8 week period was up the group that used AcaiBurn lost 450% more weight then the group who used a different supplement.

With AcaiBurn focusing heavily on customer satisfaction they have implemented two different ways for you to get your money back if you are not happy with the product. The first method is through a 14 day free trial period. Lets face it – not everyone can handle certain supplements – and AcaiBurn understands that. If you are one of the people who can’t handle the supplement all you have to do is call them and get your money back.

If you continue with the program and after 60 days you are still not happy with your results, you can cancel your order and get your money back as well. This is there 60 day guarantee. Which I might add is the biggest in the industry.

When we think of the uninsured in America, we think of all the unemployed people in our society. Most people would be surprised to learn that having a full time job is not necessarily a guarantee of insurance benefits. As more companies are beginning to struggle, they are gradually eliminating health care benefits for their employees. And suddenly now there are increasing numbers of uninsured working Americans making too much money to be eligible for Medicaid, but not making enough to pay for private insurance plans. This is leaving much of the upper lower class, and lower middle class, without insurance and struggling to survive. As the economic situation in this country continues to deteriorate, one can only imagine how the numbers of uninsured Americans are going to rise.

For instance, a third of American business did not offer any type of health insurance coverage for their employees in 2007. The skyrocketing costs of doing business is wreaking havoc on the smaller companies as they struggle to stay afloat. And thus, we have a growing health care crisis in our country.

Many people cite the fact that moving to a government run health care system is socialistic and does not support the democratic way in which our country was intended to run. But do you really think that when our forefathers first came up with the idea of democracy, that this is what they had in mind? Kids whose parents cant afford medical insurance dying on the streets? I really don’t think so. You can call it what you want, but the bottom line is that democracy is a government by the people and for the people, so if the people want the government run health care system, then really isn’t that how it should be?

During 2006 and 2007, 1/3 of the American population under 65 went without any health coverage for a portion of time. That should not be. As one of the wealthiest countries in the world, we are among the last to come up with a viable health care system for our citizens. While politicians in Washington enjoy top of the line health care paid for by the citizens, they continue to deny coverage to their constituents.

No matter what your beliefs are on how to solve this issue, it must be recognized that there is a problem which needs to be fixed. It is time for all Americans to come together and make this happen. Otherwise, as a country, we will continue to decline.
