What is SmartLipo?

SmartLipo™, or laser lipolysis, is a minimally invasive liposuction method that uses laser technology to dissolve localized pockets of fat and tighten the surrounding skin.

The surgical procedure can be performed almost anywhere on the body and offers a less-invasive alternative to conventional liposuction. SmartLipo is almost painless and usually requires minimal recovery time.

How it Works

SmartLipo uses laser technology to break down and melt the excess fat, then removes it from the body through the use of gentile suction. This process begins with numbing the treatment area of the skin. The doctor will then inject a tumescent solution into the treatment area, which will help reduce any discomfort felt during the procedure.

Using a thin metal tube, also known as a cannula, the melted fat will be extracted from the body entirely. SmartLipo’s techniques allow for patients to return to normal activities with minimal pain and discomfort and speedy recovery times, allowing them to return to work in only a couple of days. SmartLipo is perfect for patients who are looking to remove mild amounts of stubborn fat pockets without the need for general anesthesia or a surgical procedure.

SmartLipo vs. Traditional Liposuction

SmartLipo’s revolutionary fat reduction methods aren’t just proven in its technique. Although, both SmartLipo and traditional liposuction use a cannula to remove the fat, traditional liposuction does not prepare the fat for extraction and can cause damage to the surrounding tissues, resulting in longer recovery times. With SmartLipo, laser technology heats and melts the fat for easy and safe extraction, posing no risk to surrounding tissues.

SmartLipo patients also experience less bruising and bleeding, unlike the patients who go for traditional liposuction, in which it takes much longer before seeing results. Within a few days, patients who underwent SmartLipo can return to work and their normal lives.

This doesn’t mean that traditional liposuction is not a good option. In some cases, due to the severity of excess fat, liposuction may be ideal to remove large amounts of fat.

Benefits

SmartLipo is non-invasive, and FDA approved, providing quick and effective fat reduction to a variety of patients. SmartLipo can also be performed with local anesthesia, which reduces risks and speeds recovery, the skin can also be tightened as a result of the treatment, as the heating effect that the laser technology provides indices the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.

Treatment Preparation

It is advised to stop drinking, smoking, and lower the dosage of any prescribed medication for at least two weeks before the procedure. Also be sure to make arrangements for transportation on the day of the procedure. We will provide a comprehensive guide to preparation at your consultation.

Treatment Process

SmartLipo is typically performed with local anesthesia to numb the target area. The doctor will begin by making a small incision near the treatment area. He will then insert a cannula containing laser fibers into the skin. As the cannula is moved back and forth, the laser’s energy breaks up the targeted fat cells and prepares them for easy extraction through the use of gentile suctioning. The heat that is emitted by the laser energy also helps the skin to tighten, and the blood vessels to coagulate, which results in less bleeding and swelling for SmartLipo patients.

Recovery

There may be some minor bruising, swelling, and tenderness after SmartLipo, although this will subside within a few days. Depending on the location of the SmartLipo, you may need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and help the overlying skin to form to the body’s new contour. The recovery time for SmartLipo is minimal, and you will be able to return to work within a matter of days.

How To Maintain Results

Just because the results of SmartLipo are permanent, doesn’t mean that the patient shouldn’t take care of themselves. It is advised to maintain your healthy lifestyle filled with exercise and a healthy diet. Hydration can also reduce swelling during recovery, so be sure to drink as much as water as possible. Your exercise regimen should be maintained to strengthen and keep the treatment you just received.
