Using a high-powered
laser, Smartlipo™ is a new LaserBodySculpting™
procedure with less down time and side effects
than traditional liposuction.
This revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure is designed for the removal of fat for targeted body contouring
and sculpting in even the most delicate areas of your body such as the neck, jowls, arms,
knees and inner thighs.
 
A very small
cannula, or tube, approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0
mm in diameter containing a laser fiber is inserted
into the skin. The cannula is skillfully directed
to deliver the laser's energy to the fat cells,
causing them to rupture and easily drain away.
The laser energy also interacts with the dermis
resulting in collagen shrinkage.
Due to the
cannula's small size, Smartlipo is a minimally
invasive procedure and can be performed under
local anesthesia. The laser causes small blood
vessels to coagulate immediately on contact,
resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising,
- and a quicker recovery time than conventional
liposuction.
Because general anesthesia is unnecessary, the
procedure is very safe with only minimal side
effects.
If you have
areas of fat that will not respond to diet and
exercise, then you’re a candidate for
SmartLipo. Ideal candidates are in good health,
of normal body weight and have realistic expectations
for the results.
Smartlipo can be a great adjunct to traditional liposuction
procedures and it is ideal for treating small
areas of the face, neck, arms, knees, back,
bra strap, mons pubis, breasts (gynecomastia),
and areas of loose and flabby skin (floppy skin).
For most patients,
typically only one treatment is required. The
session may last from 45 minutes to one hour
for each area treated.
After the treatment
you will have minimal pain or bruising. We recommend
1-2 days rest, but most patients are able to
return to work immediately. Compression garments
specifically designed for your procedure will
help diminish slight swelling and facilitate
contouring. We can help you purchase the best
garment made for your procedure.
Results can
be seen immediately with continued improvement
over several months.
Yes! Adults
do not create new fat cells. When a person gains
weight, the fat cells expand. The Smartlipo
procedure permanently removes the fat cells.
Should you gain weight, most fat will be deposited
in areas where the procedure was not performed.
