Laser
The term laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated
emission of radiation, or a light amplifier. A laser is a device that
uses the principle of amplification of electromagnetic waves by stimulated
emission of radiation and operates in the infrared, visible, or ultraviolet
region.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing involves the use of laser light to smooth wrinkles
or scars on the skin of the face. A CO2 laser is absorbed in the superficial
portions of the skin and it's power vaporizes a thin layer of tissue
on the surface of the face, resulting in smoother skin.
Lidocaine
A local anesthetic.
Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation is a procedure to enhance the fullness of lips. This
is accomplished either by injection of a soft tissue filler, such
as collagen or by the placement of synthetic or grafted material.
Lip Lift
Lip lift is a technique that surgically lifts the corners of the aging
mouth to eliminate the pronounced droop and unhappy facial expression
that often develops with advanced age. By cutting away small diamonds
of skin just above the corners of the mouth, the vermilion (border
of the lips) is raised into a slight smile.
Lip Reduction
Lip reduction is a procedure to reduce the lips, where a small strip
of the mucosa (the lining of the lip) is surgically removed to narrow
the lips to the desired proportion. In most instances the small scars
on the outside of the lips are barely noticeable.
Lipectomy
Lipectomy is the surgical removal of fatty tissues.
Lipolysis
Lipolysis is the splitting or chemical decomposition of fat.
Lipolytic
Lipolytic is a term meaning relating to or causing lipolysis.
Lipoplasty
Lipoplasty is the surgical removal and/or displacement of fatty or
lipid substance.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat through a suctioning
process. Although liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss,
it is a way of changing the body's shape and contour.
