Excerpt from Grazia, July 2010, from Leah Hardy:
“Though when Dr Alan Kingdon showed me a picture of the back of my thighs prior to laser lipo last year, I joked he should have offered me anaesthetic beforehand, as this was the most painful part of the process”
“[On being a journalist tester] The only think I really would have paid for (if it didn’t feel like stealing bread from my children’s mouths) was the £2,400 laser lipo that got rid of my saddlebags. No wonder plastic surgeons call fat ‘liquid gold’.”

An excerpt from Elle Magazine:
“THE NEW LASER
Jenny Dickinson tests Advanced Laser Lipolysis at The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic.
The treatment:
Apparently, I’m an ideal candidate for this type of surgery as I exercise often but just can’t shift the pockets of fat on my flanks. Dr Kingdon, my surgeon, makes tiny incisions to introduce a saline solution and laser, which ‘melts’ my fat. He then sucks out the liquefied fat and uses the laser again to help my skin tighten. It’s not painful, but I can feel the heavy pushing and pulling and Dr Kingdon forces the tiny tubes underneath my skin. I leave two hours later, leaking saline and wrapped in a girdle.
The results:
when I remove the girdle, I can see that my shaped has changed: the deposits of fat are gone. But, for two weeks, I’m badly bruised and the swelling means I’m actually bigger than before. Plus, I have to keeo the girdle on. I’m not in pain, but I’m uncomfortable. After six weeks, the swelling has reduced but I’m still quite tender. Three months on, the tenderness has gone and my shape is transformed.”
