How does the Smartlipo procedure work?

Using a very small cannula (tube) a laser fiber is inserted into the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth delivering the laser's energy directly to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and easily drain away. Unlike traditional liposuction, which commonly leaves skin loose and lax, the Smartlipo laser energy also interacts with the dermis, resulting in collagen shrinkage and excellent skin retraction offering wonderful results.

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 thicken immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising - and a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction. Because general anesthesia is unnecessary, the laser procedure is very safe, with only minimal side effects.

How is Smartlipo different from Liposuction?

Traditional liposuction uses a vacuum with a metal tube attached, which the doctor moves back and forth as it tears out and removes fat. You get more loose skin as a result, bleeding, swelling, scaring and destruction of tissue. Sagging skin sometimes necessitates additional surgical procedures such as face or neck lifts. Alternatively, Smartlipo uses a laser which melts away fat and results in less destruction and bruising, less scaring and no stitches. Recovery times are also faster with Smartlipo.

Does Smartlipo produce lasting results?

Yes! As adults, we do not create new fat cells. When a person gains weight, the fat cells expand. The Smartlipo procedure permanently removes the fat cells. Should you gain weight, most fat will be deposited in areas where the procedure was not performed.
