SmartLipo
4.9 /5 (8 Reviews)
SmartLipo™ is a fat removal procedure that can serve as both an alternative or complement to a Liposuction treatment. Smart Lipo is a laser liposuction treatment that uses advanced technology to aid more traditional liposuction techniques. FDA approved as one of the first laser-based lipo treatments, SmartLipo™ involves the insertion of a tiny cannula (tube) beneath the skin, above targeted fat deposits.
Attached to the cannula is a laser fiber, which effectively heats and breaks down fat cells, while also shrinking collagen levels. This is where laser liposcution gets its name.
The liquified fat created by the laser is easily drained away, and because SmartLipo™ is minimally invasive, there is much less bleeding and bruising with Smart Lipo than with traditional Liposuction.
SmartLipo™ can also be performed without a general anesthesia, reducing the risk of side effects considerably. SmartLipo™ and other laser liposuction treatments works best for relatively healthy people who wish to eliminate small, unwanted fat deposits from their thighs, hips, upper arms, and buttocks.
Smart Lipo treatments are also starting to appear at medical spas and laser clinics across the country as a high grade alternative to VelaShape and LipoDissolve.
