4 Reasons to Love SmartLipo
Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly are the best ways to maintain a healthy weight. Unfortunately, they aren’t necessarily enough to remove all pockets of unwanted fat. If you have an otherwise healthy lifestyle but still have a few problem areas, we can offer you four reasons that Smartlipo might be a great option.
1. SmartLipo is versatile
Also called laser-assisted lipo, this special type of lipo is a revolutionary minimally invasive body contouring procedure that can quickly and efficiently sculpt your figure. It’s often recommended for people who are healthy but struggling with stubborn body fat that doesn’t respond to a healthy eating plan and a regular workout routine. You can get rid of unwanted bulges and bumps from many parts of your body, including:
- Love handles
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Thighs
- Knees
- Back
2. Laser-assisted liposuction is different from conventional lipo
Surgical liposuction is a more invasive procedure that is typically done under general anesthesia. A sterile solution is injected to reduce blood loss and help remove the fat. A cannula is then inserted through a small incision and moved rapidly to break up the fat so that it can be suctioned out. It is usually performed on an outpatient basis, but recovery can be lengthy, including significant bruising, swelling and soreness for several weeks.
Smartlipo instead uses the power of laser energy to destroy fat cells. Once the incision has been made, a small cannula containing laser fibers is inserted and activated, rupturing and liquefying the fat cells. The liquefied fat is easier to suction out, and the laser has the added benefit of tightening both the skin and remaining tissues to create firm, sculpted results.
3. Smart liposuction is safe
Although all surgical procedures carry some risks, this special liposuction technique offers added safety features to better protect you from unwanted effects. The ThermaGuide technology provides immediate temperature feedback and controlled laser delivery while the SmartSense attachment prevents the laser from damaging surrounding tissues.
4. The results speak for themselves
Laser-assisted lipo requires smaller incisions and less force that results in a shorter recovery period and less bruising, swelling and soreness. It’s typically performed under local anesthesia, and most people can return to work in a few days and exercise in a few weeks. The risk of scarring is minimal, and because the laser tightens tissues as it melts fat, its body-contouring results are superior.
What to Expect
Once we confirm your candidacy, we will provide you with detailed instructions to help you prepare. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Although you may experience slight bruising, the risk of trauma is minimal. You will need to wear a special compression garment for a certain period, but you might see results in as little as a week. Most people will continue to see results over the course of the next three to six months.
