Laser Fat Reduction

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.

So glad I went with centre for surgery, the whole process went very smoothly from the consultations down to the actual day of the procedure. I was so nervous on the day but the whole team put me at ease and I’m happy with my results as I feel a lot more comfortable wearing certain clothes now. My surgeon was Alberto Di Giuseppe who performed a breast Augmentation on me, and I would definitely recommend as he was very clear on what the outcome of the surgery would be and which size would look the best for my frame.

This was overall a great experience, all the staff at Centre for Surgery were friendly and put me at ease. It is a nerve wracking thing to go through an op but the staff were so nice. Mr Ertan has got a great team around him. On the day of the operation everything went smoothly to plan, there was no delay or holdups, I had another consultation with Mr Ertan who confirmed what was going to be done and that I was still happy to proceed. I was prepped for the procedure, I met with the anaesthetist who again was really nice and put me at ease explaining his role. After the procedure I woke up with the nurse by my side making sure I was OK and checking on me, I was able to stay in the clinic until I was ready to leave and was not rushed at all. I was well looked after from the start to the point when I was discharged. Post operation I was staying at a local hotel it was so close there was no point in even getting a taxi and I was able to walk back where my partner was waiting for me. I was expecting a lot of bruising to both my eyes but there was very little if any by the time the cast came off after 7 days, I am now at the two week post operation point and it is healing well with no outwardly visible bruising or scaring. The next milestone is a checkup at the 6 week point with my surgeon. If you're thinking of having something like this done I would highly recommend getting in touch with Centre for Surgery.

I would just like to state the quality of care received from the nurses at Centre for Surgery was beyond the highest level. Sophie takes her patient care to another level beyond words. She always puts me at ease. She is there for me even at awkward hours just when I mostly needed reassurance and she is one of the most compassionate nurses I have come across and demonstrates her passion naturally for caring for others. She totally deserves recognition at its finest and thank you for always being there for me. 😍

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?

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.

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.

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.
