Smartlipo - Laser Lipolysis
Smartlipo™ Laser Lipolysis is a great way to help address common patient concerns with a less invasive techniques than conventional liposuction methods for fat reduction and body toning. As the industry's only laser lipolysis system designed to destroy fat cells and tighten tissue for firmer skin, Smartlipo is ideal for treating localized fat deposits on the face and body.
You’ve tried dieting. You’ve tried exercise. But parts of your body have simply refused to tone up. Now you can change all that. LaserBodySculpting is a revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment that does something no fitness routine in the world can: permanently destroy fat cells. Since your body has only a finite amount of these cells, no new fat cells come back. You can finally have that body you’ve always wanted.
Laser Body Sculpting Q & A:
How does LaserBodySculpting work?
This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted into the skin. A laser fiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away as liquid. Simultaneously, tissue around the area coagulates, resulting in overall tighter skin tissue.
What areas of the body can be treated?
LaserBodySculpting is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, breasts, “bra fat,” abdomen, “love handles,” “saddle bags,” inner and outer thighs and knees.
Am I a candidate?
LaserBodySculpting is meant for areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. The perfect candidate is in good health and of normal body weight.
How does LaserBodySculpting compare to conventional liposuction?
Conventional liposuction is meant to remove greater amounts of fat. However, since this can leave behind unsightly pockets of skin, laser assisted lipolysis is often a perfect complement.
Is there a recovery period?
LaserBodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light trauma can occur, but you’ll be able to return to work in a couple of days and resume exercise after 2 weeks.
How many treatments are required?
Typically only one treatment is required. Results can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over 3 to 6 months. A compression garment may be worn for a short period after treatment, depending on the body area treated.
