Definition: A surgical cosmetic procedure designed to reduce small deposits of body fat in a specific area of the body; a variation of traditional liposuction (the surgical removal of localized fat deposits via suction) that utilizes a laser to liquefy the fat, which is then drained from the body via tiny incisions.
Differs from traditional liposuction in that no suction is used and heat energy from the laser is what promotes tissue tightening in the treated areas.
Also Known As: laser lipolysis
