With SmartLipo, patients experience: A quick return to normal activities, including work Very little downtime A significantly accelerated healing process Adjoining skin surfaces can heal tight and smooth

Traditional liposuction has been available for years and is used to treat large areas of the body where fat deposits have become prevalent. Recovery from this type of invasive surgery is typically slow. “Patient downtime after traditional liposuction surgery is significant,” says Dr. Melanie Carreon, Aesthetic Physician with Laser Cosmetic Solutions, located in Seguin.

Doctor Carreon goes on to say, &"With the new laser-assisted SmartLipo with local anesthesia, my patients are able to return to normal activities, such as work, in virtually little downtime - healing is significantly accelerated.”

Dr. Carreon was the first physician in Texas to perform the SmartLipo MPX 46 watt system. Smart Lipo is the most recent innovation from Cynosure, one of the leaders in the surgical, medical and aesthetic pulsed-light and laser field. Smart Lipo Laser Body Sculpting is minimally invasive and improves upon traditional liposuction in many ways.  It both destroys fat cells and coagulates tissue for tighter and firmer skin.

SmartLipo is ideal for treating different areas of the body, by melting the fat, the Smart Lipo coagulates and tightens the tissue and induces collagen production. “No matter how strict some of my patients’ diet and how rigorous they are about exercise, many of them just cannot eliminate localized areas of fat, such as around the abdomen or on the upper regions of the arms,” explains Dr. Carreon. “With this new laser-assisted SmartLipo system, patients are now able to achieve results they using laser-assisted lipolysis.”

Smart Lipo (SmartLipo) Facts

Laser Body Sculpting can eliminate areas of unwanted fat and tone your entire body. Below are answers to some of the most common patient questions.

How does LaserBodyScultping 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, which can result 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 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.
