How Does SmartLipo Work?

At LCS Medical Spa, we offer SmartLipo, a minimally invasive procedure designed to help you achieve the body contours you desire. SmartLipo utilizes advanced laser technology to safely and effectively target stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.

SmartLipo is a minimally invasive fat reduction procedure that uses laser technology to target and eliminate excess fat from targeted regions of the body. A small cannula containing a laser fiber is inserted through a tiny incision in the skin. The laser energy breaks down fat cells, liquefying them for easier removal while also stimulating collagen production to tighten and firm the skin in the treated area. This combination of fat reduction and skin tightening makes SmartLipo an effective solution for body contouring.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, making it less invasive and requiring a shorter recovery time compared to traditional liposuction. SmartLipo is ideal for smaller, more delicate areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms, where fat deposits may be stubborn and resistant to diet and exercise. The results from SmartLipo are natural-looking, with smoother, firmer skin and a more sculpted body shape.

SmartLipo at LCS Medical Spa uses local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort during the procedure. Most of our clients can return to their normal activities within just a few days. SmartLipo is ideal for individuals who are close to their goal weight but need help with stubborn areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms.

SmartLipo is highly effective for fat reduction, offering a safe and efficient way to target stubborn fat areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. The laser technology used in SmartLipo not only liquefies fat for easier removal but also helps stimulate collagen production, which can tighten and firm the skin in the treated area. This results in smoother, more contoured body shapes and noticeable improvements in the treated areas.

The effectiveness of SmartLipo varies depending on individual goals, but it is especially beneficial for small to moderate areas of fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and under the chin. Since it is less invasive than traditional liposuction, the recovery time is shorter, and many clients report being pleased with the results within a few weeks of treatment. With its precision, SmartLipo offers a significant reduction in fat and an improvement in body contours, making it a popular choice for those looking for a minimally invasive solution to fat reduction.

Here are the benefits of SmartLipo compared to traditional liposuction:

• Minimally invasive: SmartLipo uses laser technology, requiring only small incisions, which reduces the risk of complications and promotes faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction.

• Quicker recovery: Most clients can return to normal activities within a few days, while traditional liposuction typically requires a longer recovery period.

• Less pain and discomfort: Because of its minimally invasive nature, SmartLipo generally causes less post-operative pain and bruising compared to traditional liposuction.

• Skin tightening: The laser in SmartLipo stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten the skin in the treated area, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.

• Precision targeting: SmartLipo allows for more precise fat removal, making it ideal for smaller, more delicate areas where traditional liposuction might be more challenging.

• Local anesthesia: SmartLipo is typically performed under local anesthesia, which avoids the risks and complications associated with general anesthesia used in traditional liposuction.

• Reduced scarring: The small incisions required for SmartLipo typically leave less noticeable scars compared to traditional liposuction’s larger incisions.

We understand that every client is unique. That’s why we recommend scheduling a personalized consultation with our qualified medical professionals at LCS Medical Spa. We will discuss your goals, review your medical history, and determine the safest and most effective approach to help you achieve your desired results.

We at LCS Medical Spa work hard to ensure that your experience with SmartLipo is as seamless and comfortable as it can be. The recovery time after a SmartLipo procedure is typically quicker than traditional liposuction, thanks to its minimally invasive nature. Most clients can expect to resume light activities within a few days, with many returning to work within 1 to 2 days. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for about 2 weeks to ensure optimal healing and to allow the treated area time to adjust.

While the recovery period is relatively short, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which usually subsides within a week. Our provider will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to support your healing process, including wearing compression garments to minimize swelling and help the body contour more effectively. By following these guidelines, most clients can enjoy their results within a few weeks, with full recovery typically occurring in 4 to 6 weeks.

Our experienced providers at LCS Medical Spa will give you personalized aftercare instructions and are always available to answer your questions, ensuring your recovery is as smooth and successful as possible.
