Tightsculpting Laser Fat Reduction in London
TightSculpting is a laser fat reduction procedure that allows the non-invasive removal of localised fat deposits without having to undergo an invasive surgical procedure such as liposuction. Laser fat reduction, employs the use of Nd:YAG laser energy to destroy fat cells. In the TightSculpting treatment, the laser generates targeted heat in the superficial fat layer to melt fat cells leading to their destruction. The Nd:YAG laser is administered through a specialised laser scanner that uses 1064nm laser energy to gently heat up and destroy fat cells in a process known as lipolysis. Applying heat to the fat cells leads to fat cell death. The dead fat cells are then removed from the body via the natural flushing action of the body’s lymphatic system after the treatment. TightSculpting was developed by Fotona, one of the industry’s leading manufacturers of aesthetic and medical lasers.
The laser treatment is suitable for those who wish to improve their body contour and tighten the skin. This non-surgical treatment will leave you with a more sculpted appearance and smoother skin.

Laser fat reduction & laser skin tightening
As we naturally age, we begin to lose skin laxity, and we often gain weight as our metabolism slows. This can often be difficult to remedy with a healthy diet and exercise regime alone. Stubborn pockets of fat will still exist, and often no diet will help to tighten the skin.
Fortunately, there is Fotona TightSculpting. This is a dual-wavelength laser treatment which will help to contour the body. Best of all, it is a non-surgical procedure, so there is no recovery time – you can resume your normal daily routine straight away.
There are many benefits to undergoing TightSculpting, including:
- Tighten and lift the skin
- Reduce and sculpt fat pockets
- Improve skin elasticity
- Improve the appearance of cellulite
TightSculpting can be performed virtually anywhere on the body where you wish to have fat pockets removed and skin laxity improved.
Tightsculpting is also very effective to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Why have laser fat reduction?
Every person is unique in the way they store fat and is due to a number of factors including genetics, diet and lifestyle. Stubborn areas of fat on the stomach, flanks, upper arms and thighs can be very difficult to remove though natural methods of diet and exercise. Laser fat reduction also known as TightSculpting is a quick, safe and effective non-surgical treatment for the removal of stubborn areas of fat. Tightsculpting is also a great treatment as a skin smoothening treatmenyt
Benefits of laser fat reduction include:
- Permanent results
- Speedy 30 minute treatment
- Treatment can be targeted on specific areas
- Completely non invasive with no requirement for anaesthesia, needles or incisions
- No risk of scars
- No downtime
- Suitable for wide variety of skin types – from light skin types to dark skin types
Laser fat reduction using TightSculpting uses state of the art laser technology to generate focussed heat energy that is targeted at stubborn fat cells beneath the skin.
The Nd:YAG laser energy delivered with the L-runner scanner heats the fat cells (‘laser lipolysis’) to damage their structural integrity. These damaged cells are then processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.
During the treatment, a robotic scanner is applied to the skin to heat the fat layer whilst also cooling the skin’s surface for comfort. Laser fat reduction takes takes about 30 minutes to perform, and therefore it’s very easy to fit into a lunch break and there is no downtime, so you can return home or back to work straight away. TightSculpting and laser fat reduction is a highly effective non-surgical fat reduction treatment that will help shift stubborn fat.

Ideal candidates for laser fat reduction
You may be an appropriate candidate for laser fat reduction if you are wishing to remove small localised pockets of fat in a non-invasive manner:
- Patients should be in good physical shape with localised areas of excess stubborn fat that has proven impossible to shift with diet and exercise
- Patients who require larger volumes of fat to be removed, but surgical intervention is not preferred
- Candidates unable or unwilling to consider a surgical procedure such as liposuction
You will need to be at least 18 years old to undergo this procedure.
Before undergoing TightSculpting you will be required to attend a consultation with one of our practitioners. They will be able to assess whether or not you are suitable for this procedure. You may be more suitable for other procedures such as liposuction or microlipo.
Tightsculpting & laser fat reduction procedure
The TightSculpting is a non-surgical laser treatment which is completed in two stages.
The first stage involves the use of the Nd:YAG laser pulse. This laser safely and rapidly heats the deep tissue and fat layer, which stimulates fat cell metabolism and collagen fibre constriction. This stage works to reduce fat and tighten the skin.
The second stage aims to improve skin surface laxity with the use of the Er:YAG laser pulse. This laser pulse will not only tighten the collagen fibres but also stimulates the production of new collagen. This enhances the skin elasticity and results in you having a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. During this stage, you may experience some slight discomfort, however, this stage is relatively quick, and may only take five minutes to complete.
The treatment should take around 30 minutes to complete.
You may need to have between three and eight TightSculpting treatments to achieve optimal results. These repeat treatments will need to be spaced at least 10 days apart.
Recovery after laser fat reduction
As TightSculpting is a completely non-invasive procedure, there is no downtime. After the treatment, you may experience some redness in the area of treatment, and it may feel like a mild sunburn. This subsides fully the following day.

FAQs
-
What is TightSculpting and laser fat reduction?TightSculpting is a non-surgical laser fat reduction treatment using the Fotona SP Dynamis laser. The laser is used to target localised fat pockets leading to their destruction. This laser uses the Nd:YAG wavelength in Fotona's unique ultra long-pulse PIANO mode.
The Nd:YAG is applied using a specialised robotic scanner to ensure evenly applied treatment which leads to creation of a bulk tissue heating effect for lipolysis of superficial fat cells. The result is a more contoured effect. -
Am I suitable for Tightsculpting?Tightsculpting is an ideal treatment for patients with small localised areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. For patients with more extensive fat deposits, it may be better to consider liposuction or other body contouring treatments for optimum results. Despite being a non-invasive treatment, TightSculpting should not be performed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
