Laser Lipo for Somers, NY

Start with where the fat is

Laser lipo is not a whole-body treatment. It is aimed at particular pockets of fat that have outlasted diet and exercise, and Bellava’s own page names three of them: the love handles, the thighs and the abdomen. So the most useful question to bring from Somers is a simple one — where exactly is the fat you want gone? Bellava is at 182 Route 117 Bypass Road in Bedford Hills, about 13 minutes without traffic from Somers town hall, most of it on I-684.

Area by area

• Love handles. One of the areas laser lipo is designed for.
• The lower stomach. Laser lipo treats fat here. If the real issue is loose skin, or abdominal muscles stretched apart by pregnancy, no laser will fix it; that is the territory of a tummy tuck with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chang Soo Kim.
• The thighs. The third of laser lipo’s areas. CoolSculpting treats the inner and outer thighs as well.
• Under the chin. Not an area Bellava lists for laser lipo. CoolSculpting treats a double chin, and loose neck skin or vertical bands are what a neck lift is for.
• Upper arms and the bra line. CoolSculpting at Bellava treats both.
• Your weight overall. Laser lipo shapes; it does not slim the whole body. For that, ask about semaglutide weight-loss injections.

What the laser does

Pulses of low-level laser light pass through the skin from a panel of optical fibres. Fat cells take up the light, warm, and break open, releasing their contents, while the nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue around them are left intact. The body then clears the debris by itself. Because nothing is cut, there is no anesthesia and no recovery to arrange — at most a little soreness or tenderness, with bruising or swelling only very rarely.

What to expect afterwards

The change arrives gradually rather than overnight, with the full result showing within six to eight weeks as your body finishes removing the treated fat. Cells that have been destroyed do not grow back, so a healthy routine is what keeps the new shape, and Bellava’s team advises you on maintaining it.

Somers patients ask

How is it decided which areas to treat? At a consultation, one of Bellava’s providers reviews your medical history, examines the areas that bother you and puts together a plan. They will be candid about what your skin’s elasticity and the amount of fat allow.

Do I need time off? No. You can carry on with your day as soon as the session is over.
