Lipo Sculpt Laser is done with a high intensity 650nm laser that transmits thermal energy into the subcutaneous fat cells, creating a chemical signal that causes the fat cell to break down the stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, releasing them though the cell membrane. This causes the cell to shrink through contraction. The fatty acids are then transported around the body to the tissues that will use them to create energy. Exercise after the procedure is encouraged to metabolize the free fatty acids for permanent results.
