Laser Lipolysis (Le Shape)

Laser lipolysis with the Le Shape system uses low-level laser energy applied to the skin's surface to target localised pockets of fat without needles or surgery. Multiple handpieces can be placed over an area such as the abdomen or thighs to treat a larger zone at once. It is intended for stubborn fat in otherwise healthy, active people rather than as a weight-loss method, and works best as a course alongside exercise and good hydration.

Laser lipolysis is a non-invasive body treatment in which low-level laser energy is delivered through pads or handpieces resting on the skin over a targeted area. The energy is intended to prompt fat cells to release some of their stored contents, which the body then processes through its normal metabolic pathways — an effect that is enhanced by physical activity and good hydration in the period after each session. Because nothing penetrates the skin, there are no needles, no incisions and effectively no downtime. At Diamond Estetic the clinic uses the Le Shape platform, and one or several handpieces can be positioned over the treatment zone — for example the abdomen, flanks or thighs — so that a larger area is treated in a single session lasting around thirty to forty-five minutes. The experience is comfortable, usually felt only as gentle warmth, and you can return to normal activities immediately; light exercise afterwards is encouraged to help the process. Laser lipolysis is best understood as a contouring treatment for localised, diet- and exercise-resistant fat rather than a solution for significant weight loss, and it is most effective in people who are already reasonably fit and maintaining a stable weight. Results are gradual and a course of several sessions is generally recommended for a visible change on a treated area. Suitability is assessed beforehand, and the treatment is avoided in pregnancy and over certain medical conditions.
