Intro Smartlipo Laser Body Sculpting
Revolutionary treatment literally melts away fat in trouble spots like your abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck. The results last longer than dieting or exercise and the treatment is minimally invasive.
SmartLipo is a procedure for fat removal that serves as an alternative or supplement to traditional liposuction methods. SmartLipo uses lasers to target and liquefy subcutaneous fats under the skin.
The use of SmartLipoâ„¢ as a supplement to traditional liposuction has been claimed to create more refined results than those achieved with liposuction alone. SmartLipoâ„¢ promotes the development of collagen, eliminating additional skin-lifting surgeries and improving the overall appearance of the treated area.
Are You a Good Candidate?
- Overall in good health (exercise regularly and are within 25 lbs of your ideal weight).
- If you wish to change the contours of your body, commonly involved areas are the upper arm, bra-lines, abdomen, love handles, thighs, and under the chin.
- If you have areas of excess fat under the skin, which is resistant to diet and exercise.
Intended Results
- An improvement in the contour, shape, and proportion of the treated areas.
- A more flattering figure or physique, in or out of clothing.
- Improved body symmetry and proportion.
Procedure Description
- Performed on small zones and on an outpatient basis.
- General anesthesia is usually used for safety and comfort.
- Sterile fluid (normal saline) is injected into the areas of excess fat, in a tumescent fashion to swell or enlarge the fat cells so that more of their surface areas are exposed to the Smartlipoâ„¢ laser.
- The fat is then liquefied by a small laser probe (Smartlipoâ„¢).
- A small probe is then inserted into the fat through very short incisions, placed in inconspicuous locations near the fat deposits, and the liquefied fat is removed via an aspirator.
