Areas We Treat

Not sure where to start? Your clinician will assess the area at your consult and suggest a plan made for you.
How Laser Lipo Works
No jargon, promise.
- Low-level laser energy is applied to the treatment area.
- That energy targets your fat cells, helping them release their stored contents.
- Your body then clears them naturally over time, with a helping hand from your lymphatic system (the body's built-in drainage network).
That's why we ask you to drink water and keep moving between sessions. It supports the clearing-out part.
Laser Lipo vs Fat Freezing vs Liposuction
Three options. Three very different experiences. Here's how they stack up.
Quick Comparison
| Laser lipo | Fat freezing | Liposuction | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surgical? | No | No | Yes, a surgical procedure |
| Downtime | None. Back to your day. | Your clinician will explain what to expect | Recovery time is usually needed. A surgeon will advise. |
| How it works | Low-level laser energy helps fat cells release their stored contents, which the body clears naturally | Targets fat cells in the treatment area using cooling | Fat is physically removed during surgery |
| Who it suits | People near their goal weight with a stubborn area, who want a gentle, non-surgical option | People near their goal weight with a defined pocket of stubborn fat | People who want a surgical approach and have discussed it with a qualified surgeon |
| Offered at St James Aesthetics? | Yes | Yes | No |
We don't offer surgery. If you're leaning that way, speak with a qualified surgeon. If you'd rather keep it non-surgical, we'll help you find the right match. Learn more about fat freezing.
Pair It Up: Laser Lipo with Fat Freezing and EMS
Laser lipo plays well with others.
Laser lipo + fat freezing. A popular combo. When paired with fat freezing, results can show in 1 to 4 weeks instead of 4 to 12. Individual results vary.
Laser lipo + EMS body sculpting. EMS sculpt uses electrical muscle stimulation to work the muscle underneath. Refine the surface, then build the shape.
Your clinician can map out a combination at your consult, so you're not paying for treatments you don't need.
What to Expect on the Day
Relaxed. Easy. Zero fuss.
- Time: 20 minutes for a single session, or 40 minutes for a double session
- Feel: comfortable, gentle warmth. Most people relax, scroll or read.
- Downtime: none. Head straight back to your day.
- Afterwards: drink plenty of water and keep moving to support lymphatic drainage.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Laser lipo builds across a course of sessions. There's no magic number. It depends on your area, your goals and how your body responds. Your clinician will recommend the number of sessions at your consult, and you can adjust as you go.
Laser Lipo Cost in Melbourne
The price depends on how many sessions you need and which areas you're treating. For a guide, our current online pricing is intro sessions from $99 and packs from $79 per session, online price, subject to change. See our full prices for the latest.
Your $50 consultation comes off your first treatment, so it's an easy first step.
Montanna was so informative, really listened to my concerns, and looked at the whole picture rather than just focusing on what I thought I needed! I’m so excited to start my home care and see how my skin changes with my upcoming treatment plan.

What Is Laser Lipo? (And What It Isn't)
Let's clear this up first, because the names can be confusing.
Laser lipo is:
- A non-surgical body contouring treatment
- Gentle, comfortable and done in a single short visit
- Best used as a course of sessions
Laser lipo is not:
- Liposuction. There's no surgery, no incisions and no anaesthetic.
- A weight-loss treatment. It won't replace healthy habits and it isn't designed to change the number on the scales.
- A one-size-fits-all fix. Results vary between individuals.
You may see similar treatments called "laser liposuction", laser lipolysis, 3D lipo or slim lipo. Names vary between clinics, and "laser liposuction" in particular is a bit of a misnomer. Whatever it's called, ask what technology is used and how it works. We're happy to walk you through ours.
Does Laser Lipo Work?
Honest answer: for the right person, it can. Results vary.
Laser lipo works best when:
- You're close to your goal weight and have a specific area that won't budge
- You commit to a course of sessions, not a one-off
- You back it up with healthy habits, including drinking water and staying active
It's about refining your shape, not dramatically changing it. If you want to see what's realistic, browse our before and afters. Then book a consult and your clinician will tell you straight whether laser lipo suits your goals. If it doesn't, we'll say so.

Is Laser Lipo Right for You?
It might be if you:
- Are near your goal weight
- Have a stubborn area that doesn't respond to diet and exercise
- Want a non-surgical option with no downtime
- Are happy to commit to a course of sessions
It's not the right fit if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have certain medical conditions (your clinician will check at your consult)
- Are looking for weight loss. Laser lipo isn't designed for that.

“Montanna was so informative, really listened to my concerns, and looked at the whole picture rather than just focusing on what I thought I needed! I’m so excited to start my home care and see how my skin changes with my upcoming treatment plan.”
“To whomever is smart to make an appointment for a treatment at the Moonee Ponds Clinic or have just a consultation here. Let me reassure you, YOU have not made a mistake. I have many treatments in my lifetime but not one has beat this service by far. From the moment I walked into the clinic I was given a welcoming smile, manners and respect you don't get a lot of in Melbourne today, I was made to feel safe to be my true self with no judgment - so if you have any kind of body dysmorphia issues don't fear, just sit back relax and enjoy your service - I nearly fell asleep in mine.”

Laser Lipo FAQs
Scroll down for answers to the questions we hear most. Still wondering? Book your $50 consult and ask us in person.
Does laser lipo work?
For the right person, it can. Laser lipo is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that works best as a course of sessions, alongside healthy habits, for people near their goal weight. Results vary between individuals. Your clinician will tell you honestly whether it suits your goals at your consult.
Is laser lipo the same as liposuction?
No. Liposuction is a surgical procedure. Laser lipo is non-surgical: low-level laser energy helps fat cells release their stored contents, and your body clears them naturally. There are no incisions and no downtime. It's also not a weight-loss treatment.
How many sessions of laser lipo will I need?
Results build across a course of sessions. The number depends on the area, your goals and how your body responds. Your clinician will recommend a number at your consult.
Does laser lipo hurt?
Most people find it comfortable. You'll feel gentle warmth in the treatment area, and many clients relax or read during the session.
How soon will I see results from laser lipo?
Results build gradually across your course of sessions, and timing varies between individuals. When laser lipo is paired with fat freezing, results can show in 1 to 4 weeks instead of 4 to 12. Drinking water and staying active supports the process.
How much does laser lipo cost in Melbourne?
Cost depends on the number of sessions and areas treated. Our current online pricing is intro sessions from $99 and packs from $79 per session, subject to change. See our prices page for the latest. Your $50 consultation comes off your first treatment.
Can I combine laser lipo with fat freezing?
Yes. Laser lipo is often paired with fat freezing, and results can show sooner when the two are combined. It can also be paired with EMS body sculpting. Your clinician will suggest a combination at your consult.
Is there downtime with laser lipo?
No. Sessions take 20 minutes (single) or 40 minutes (double) and you can go straight back to your day. We recommend drinking plenty of water and staying active to support your body's natural clearing process.
All treatments begin with a consultation with a qualified clinician, who will tailor your plan to your skin, body and goals. Individual results vary.
Ready to Start? Book Your $50 Consult
Look sharp. Zero fuss. Meet your clinician, talk through your goals and get an honest plan. Your $50 consultation comes off your first treatment.
