What Is the Recovery Time After Laser Lipolysis?
The recovery time after laser lipolysis is relatively short compared to traditional liposuction. Most clients can return to their normal activities within a day or two following the procedure, although some mild swelling, bruising, or soreness may be present in the treated area. These side effects are typically minimal and subside within a few days to a week. Because the procedure is minimally invasive and involves smaller incisions, there is no need for stitches, and the risk of scarring is minimal.
Clients are generally advised to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least a week after the procedure to allow the body to heal properly. Compression garments may be recommended for certain areas, such as the abdomen or thighs, to help reduce swelling and improve contouring results. While most clients experience only mild discomfort, it's important to follow any post-procedure instructions provided by the healthcare provider to ensure optimal healing and results. Regular follow-up appointments are often scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns.
