                              Smartlipo™   -  The  Latest Innovation in Micro-Liposuction

                       Smartlipo™   Laser  Body  Sculpting - Saddlebags

 

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure performed in the United States.
We are proud to introduce SmartLipo™ Laserlipolysis -  the latest advancement in the evolution
of liposuction. SmartLipo™  is the first laser system designed for Laser Body Sculpting and
uses technology which melts fat cells beneath the skin. It is the ideal tool to treat small areas
of unwanted fatty cell deposits such as in the chin, neck, arms, stomach, thighs, love handles
and male breasts ( male gynecomastia ). In addition to removing unwanted fat cells the
SmartLipo™ system also helps to coagulate collagen beneath the skin, thus leading to skin tightening.

 

SmartLipo™   FDA Approval 

 

SmartLipo™ was approved by the Food & Drug Administration on October 31, 2006 and has been featured in People magazine ( “ Has Fat Met Its Match?” ), and on on Good Morning America, The Today Show and Access Hollywood, New Beauty, Elle.  Since this is such a new technology there are very few doctors across the United States trained in the SmartLipo™ procedure.

 Who is a Candidate for Smartlipo™?

·        Ideal candidates are in good health, close to normal body weight

·        Candidates must have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure understanding
       that Body Sculpting is not weight loss surgery, it is refinining  less than perfect areas of the         
       body
·        Fat collections that will not respond to diet and exercise are good areas for
      Smartlipo™  Body Sculpting

 

 

How is Smartlipo™ Performed?

Laserlipolysis is a procedure that uses laser energy and heat to melt the membranes of fat
cells. The laser also heats the surrounding blood vessels and tissue thus minimizing bleeding,
bruising and trauma. This means patients recover faster and have less pain and discomfort
from the procedure.

 

The procedure is commonly performed under local and tumescent anesthesia. A very small
cannula is introduced through a small 1 – 2 mm incision in the skin and into fat cell areas. The
tip of the laser fiber is placed through the cannula into the fatty tissue and then moved back
and forth fanning pattern. Fat cells are melted and the fatty oils are then removed from
beneath the skin.

                           Does SmartLipo Produce Lasting Results?

Yes !!!!!  The SmartLipo procedure permanently melts the fat cells that are treated. Adults
do not produce new fat cells. When a person gains weight, that person’s fat cells simply
grow and expand.  People who gain weight after the procedure simply gain weight in fat
cells where the procedure was not performed.

 

How Many Treatments are Required ?  

 

Usually only one treatment is required. The session may lasts for 45 minutes to an hour
for each area treated.  This procedure is ideal for minor revisions or “ touch ups ”.   
Minor touch ups may be needed for resistant or difficult areas .
