Laser Assisted Liposuction - SmartLipo
"Vastly Surpassing Traditional Forms of Liposuction by Accelerating and Improving Recovery"
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat deposits from under the skin. Many Americans have and continue to submit to this procedure, as a way to take off unwanted fat and to help even out cellulite areas. Traditional liposuction utilizes a suction probe (cannula), to extract the fat from the patient's body through an incision made by the physician.
The older liposuction techniques require a considerable recovery time; bruising, swelling, and pain are common to most patients. In contrast, laser-assisted liposuction, SmartLipo, results in little or no bruising, less swelling, little or no postoperative discomfort, and rapid recovery. Under ordinary circumstances, local anesthesia and a sedative are the only medications a patient will require for the duration of the procedure.
Completely an external process, without any incision, the laser’s low-level energy wavelengths weaken the membranes of the cells. The fat contained in the cell literally oozes out of the cell’s perimeter.
So laser-assisted liposuction liquefies the fat deposits and which are then easily extracted from the body.
During the procedure the laser has the ability to be adjusted to exact frequencies which deliver the right amount of energy through the layers of the skin to reach the fat deposits targeted by the surgeon. This procedure inherently has the least risk of tissue damage compared to the alternative approaches..
Another outstanding benefit to laser liposuction is that it helps tighten up skin following the liposuction procedure. This will appeal to all and especially to patients who have loose or inelastic skin. Also, patients are able to go home and relax the same day. They are also able to return to their usual activities within a day or two unlike the old liposuction procedure that took about two weeks or more from which to recover.
The results are dramatic and permanent. The low-level laser-assisted liposuction technique is simply the best technology available for maximum patient comfort and healing, combined with exceptionally beautiful results.
LaserBodySculpting (laser liposuction) can eliminate areas of unwanted fat and tone your entire body. Below are answers to some of the most common patient questions.
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?
Smartlipo 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?
Smartlipo 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 Smartlipo 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?
Smartlipo 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 three to six months. A compression garment may be worn for a short period after treatment, depending on the body area treated.
