COOL LIPO

Laser Vein Center of Anchorage is proud to offer the state-of-the-art CoolLipo 1320 Laser System. CoolLipo is designed exclusively for skin tightening and laser-assisted lipolysis for small fat removal in areas not easily treatable by conventional liposuction.

Cool Lipo (laser-assisted lipolysis) is a new, minimally invasive technology that liquefies fat for easy removal. It is a laser-based procedure that breaks up and removes fat cells in areas such as under the chin, neck, and jowls or areas with loose skin such as the arms. In addition, the unique wavelength of the CoolLipo laser system directly contracts collagen and tightens the skin, an effect not seen with standard liposuction.

• Less invasive than face or neck lift
• Short out-patient procedure
• Safe with minimal bruising and side effects
• Minimal downtime post-procedure
• Treats areas that are difficult for conventional liposuction
• Less invasive than a neck or face lift
• May be performed under local anesthesia only
• Short procedure in your physician's office
• Safe with minimal bruising and side effects
• Minimal downtime post-procedure

All of these conditions can be treated with a vascular laser.  We offer treatment for the following conditions:
