Smartlipo Laser Body Sculpting Laserlipolysis
As more women and men want to look and feel better about themselves, body contouring and lipo-sculpture continue to grow in popularity, making liposuction the most popular cosmetic surgery performed today. SmartLipo is the first and only laser-assisted lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat. Using a high-powered laser, Smartlipo™ is a new Laser Body Sculpting procedure with less down time and side effects than traditional liposuction.
How it works
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 moved back and forth delivering 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.
Advantages of Smartlipo
We have chosen Smartlipo after studying the pros and cons of various methods of liposuction. Here are some key points:
Minimal downtime: It is normal to return to work and normal activity within days, as opposed to weeks with traditional liposuction.
Minimal discomfort: During the procedure, there is no pain. After the anesthesia has worn off, most people report that it only feels like the aches and pains that follow a vigorous workout. This is unlike in traditional liposuction where a patient feels as if a truck was driven over the body. Bruising is significantly less with Smartlipo.
Minimal Scarring: Because of the small cannula size, there is very little scarring. It would be very hard to find the insertion points or tell by looking at the skin that any liposuction has ever been done. Skin contracts with the healing-tissues that replace the melted fats, and patients realize almost "normal" skin after 3 months.
Safety and Complications: Smartlipo is safer than traditional liposuction. By doing the procedure under tumescent technique, many of the risks normally associated with general anesthesia have been completely eliminated.
