Laser lipolysis is a type of cosmetic surgery. It uses laser energy to change the shape and appearance of your body. There are other kinds of lipolysis that involve injections or radio wave treatments, but laser lipolysis is the most common technique.

Lipolysis targets smaller deposits of fat on specific parts of the body. You may be a good candidate if you have fatty tissue on your abdomen, hips, thighs, or buttocks that you wish to get rid of.
