Lipomas which are those growths of fat in the skin layers can be quite the mischief makers. In most situations while not dangerous they may become unpleasant, painful, and even hamper movement. In the past, the only ways of doing removal have been by surgical excision. But things are changing and the scales are beginning to tip in our favor! We, at Lipoma Removals, feel proud to present a new treatment for lipoma – the Lipoma Wand!
What are Lipomas? A Quick Recap
Lipomas are benign tumours which are localized, slow growing and are made up of fatty tissue. They can develop in any part of the body though they are more prevalent in areas such as the shoulder, back, neck upper arm and thighs. While generally harmless, some lipomas may require removal due to:
Size and appearance: Lipomas greater than 5cm or those that are enlarging can be cosmetically unsightly which results in poor self-image.
Pain or discomfort: Superficial lipomas may bother the patient cosmetically or become painful if they grow close to a nerve or a joint.
Rapid growth: Huge lipomas especially those that are growing fast must be checked to exclude other causes as shown in the following article.
Surgical Excision: The Traditional Approach
Patients with lipomas can be surgically treated by the simple technique known as lipoma excision which has been used for many years. While generally effective, it comes with its own set of drawbacks:
Scarring: As with other operations there is always a scar and depending on the size and location of the lipoma people’s preferred position to have the lipoma removed may be noticeable.
Discomfort: The treatment may be painful and time-consuming, and it is normal for a patient to suffer from pain and swelling after the treatment is over.
Downtime: It can therefore take most people any time from a few days to a few weeks to heal depending on the surgery that was done.
Introducing the Lipoma Wand: A Minimally Invasive Solution
The Lipoma Wand provides an innovative method of tackling lipomas that is different from the usual method of surgical excision. Lipoma treatment through this advanced technology consists of exposing the lipoma to radiofrequency waves that effectively melt the fat cells within the lipoma. The fat is liquefied through the use of a special solution that causes the cells to swell and then it is suctioned out with a small cannula and causes little scarring or pain.
Benefits of the Lipoma Wand
Compared to traditional surgery, the Lipoma Wand boasts numerous advantages:
Minimally invasive: This technique involves making small cuts hence reducing pain and marks on the skin.
Faster recovery: Most patients are usually advised by their doctor to go about their normal business after one or two days.
Reduced risk of complications: Compared to surgeries, clients using the Lipoma Wand are likely to have fewer dangers of bleeding, developing an infection or harming the nerves.
Outpatient procedure: Except few cases that may require hospitalization, most Lipoma Wand procedures can be done at doctor’s working stations.
Cosmetically appealing: The smaller is the incision made, the smaller are the scars that are left behind.
