Tickle Lipo is The Latest Liposuction Technique

No matter how much we may exercise and diet, there are some areas on the body that have collections of fat that persist. Areas, such as saddle bags, love handles and tummies may remain even after an ideal body weight has been achieved. Liposuction is an ideal treatment for such localized fat deposits, as it is minimally invasive, can be done in one short procedure under local anesthesia, and has minimal downtime.

Tickle Lipo is the latest liposuction technique that combines the suction and cannulas used in traditional liposuction with a vibrating and reciprocating handpiece. Tickle Lipo is so named because of the tickling sensation that some patients report. The vibration also adds to the comfort of the procedure by confusing the body’s pain nerve fibers. Since Tickle Lipo is less traumatic than regular liposuction, there is less resulting bruising, better skin tightening post-operatively and a quicker return to work. Patients are considered good candidates are ones who are not obese but have localized fat deposits, good skin elasticity, and are healthy overall.
