Achieve a better fit and
faster fat reduction

Laser-assisted liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to liquefy fat, which is then gently suctioned out. The procedure is often referred to as laser lipolysis or laser fat removal. Similar to fat freezing, it is an FDA-approved, in-office treatment.

To ensure patient comfort, Dr. Gustav Lo uses a local anesthetic through small (2mm) punctures to numb the treatment area. Once the area is numb, a laser fiber is inserted through the same small incisions. The heat from the laser destroys fat cells, which are then removed with suction.

One session can last between two to four hours, depending on how many areas are treated. After the procedure, patients wear a compression garment similar to a Spanx bodysuit for two weeks. This treatment can reduce fat bulges by up to 80%.

Laser-assisted liposuction is a popular alternative to a surgical tummy tuck, especially for reducing abdominal fat. It is also effective for love handles. Unlike traditional liposuction and fat freezing, this treatment tightens the skin while reducing fat. Most patients can return to work in about three days.

Fun Fact: CSLC was the first in Northern Michigan to offer laser-assisted liposuction. Dr. Gustav Lo has performed thousands of liposuction procedures and has trained with renowned experts in the field.

Radiofrequency skin tightening is a minimally invasive body contouring treatment that reshapes areas by eliminating fat and tightening skin. Common areas treated include the abdomen, waistline, chest, arms, and thighs. This procedure uses radiofrequency energy to break down fat cells and tighten the skin, offering a faster recovery and lower cost compared to laser liposuction treatments.

During the procedure, Dr. Gustav Lo uses a local anesthetic via small (2mm) skin punctures to numb the treatment area. He then inserts a radiofrequency probe through the same incisions. The RF energy targets fat cells, and after treatment, fat is gently removed with suction.

Note: Aviva is an advanced RF treatment designed for non-surgical vaginal tightening, specifically targeting the labia. It is often referred to as “non-surgical labiaplasty” and is available at RegenCen.

Microneedling with radiofrequency combines two powerful treatments to reduce fat and tighten aging skin in a single procedure. This treatment is highly effective for smoothing aging arms, knees, and thighs, and tightening the skin on the abdomen after pregnancy.

Depending on the depth of treatment, small incisions may be made to inject a numbing solution. The microneedling device is then used to reduce fat and tighten the skin, taking about an hour. There is minimal downtime, and the results are visible within four to six weeks.

Cellulite treatments, including laser-assisted options, target stubborn cellulite by breaking down the fibrous bands that cause dimpling. The procedure uses thermal energy to smooth out the appearance of cellulite, offering noticeable results for smoother thighs and skin.

Before treatment, the surgeon makes small incisions and numbs the area. A laser fiber is inserted to break down cellulite fibers beneath the skin. Treatment can be brief or last up to two hours, depending on the number of areas and severity of the cellulite.

For those looking for smaller thighs and improved cellulite appearance, combining laser-assisted liposuction and cellulite treatment can yield excellent results.

Radiofrequency treatments are minimally invasive procedures that reshape sagging or bulging skin in targeted areas such as the chin, arms, and jowls. These treatments use RF energy to tighten the skin, often with minimal recovery time due to the smaller size of the treatment area. The best results are typically seen after six months.
