A suitable candidate for laser lipolysis
Performing laser lipolysis requires careful evaluation and consultation with a specialist doctor. Each person may have special conditions and characteristics that determine the effectiveness and success rate of this method. People who have various problems such as local fat, skin laxity, or weight loss may need more consultation with specialists for this method.
However, people who have the following conditions can be considered as good candidates for laser slimming:

• People who want to improve laxity and sagging skin: If you have loose skin and you want to prevent this laxity and sagging skin from increasing, laser slimming may be suitable for you.
• If they want to adjust and strengthen skin tissues: If you want to improve your skin texture, the slimming laser can help.
• People looking for a non-surgical solution: Laser slimming is a non-surgical solution to improve body appearance and is different from bariatric surgery.

However, the final decision to perform laser slimming should be made by a specialist doctor who will evaluate the effectiveness and risks associated with your situation.
