Laser Lipo & TightSculpting in Metairie, LA

Non-surgical body contouring and skin tightening using Fotona's TightSculpting® dual-wavelength laser.

TightSculpting® is Fotona's signature non-surgical body and face contouring protocol. It combines deep-heating Nd:YAG laser energy with fractional Er:YAG resurfacing to simultaneously melt stubborn fat pockets, tighten loose skin, and stimulate new collagen — all without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Dr. Jonathan K. Jones, MD personally customizes each session to your treatment area, whether it's the jawline, neck, abdomen, arms, thighs, or knees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as surgical liposuction?

No — and that's the point. Surgical lipo removes fat through incisions and requires recovery. TightSculpting uses laser energy to melt fat and tighten skin without cutting, so you skip the anesthesia, scars, and downtime. It's best for stubborn pockets, not large-volume fat removal.

How is this different from CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting freezes fat but doesn't tighten skin — which can sometimes leave laxity behind. TightSculpting does both in one session: fat reduction and skin tightening.

Does it hurt?

Most patients describe it as warm and tingling, like a hot stone massage. No numbing is required for most treatment areas.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients see best results with a series of 4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months.
