Using your own natural fat and stem cells, you can experience a lift and rejuvenation comparable to surgery with very little downtime.
We are only beginning to uncover the power of stem cell technology and some in the medical field predict that stem cells will be as revolutionary as medical lasers. Fat is a significant source of pluripotent stem cells which can be induced to grow into nearly any body tissue, so systems are being developed to process fat removed in liposuction procedures and harvest the stem cells there.
The latest devices in laser body sculpting are making use of multiple frequencies to accomplish both fat emulsification and skin tightening to provide a more beautiful body contour. Some physicians are using these devices for high definition sculpting to uncover the muscles that are hidden beneath thin layers of fat.

Davtyan had gradually reached a size that was causing him to tire easily, but because he was successful in his career and personal life, he wasn’t ashamed of his weight. It wasn’t until he attended an MISS presentation given by Guy-Bernard Cadiere, MD, PhD, on laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding that Davtyan considered undergoing the procedure.
