Smart Lipo is one of the very latest techniques in body contouring and reshaping. The technology used during the process is much different than traditional liposuction. An added bonus is that recovery time, which typically isn’t very long after most liposuction procedures, is even quicker after Smart Lipo.
Because the cannula that is used during the SmartLipo procedure is so small, it can be used on the face. It can virtually be used anywhere on the body that has extra fat deposits that regular diet and exercise cannot seem to get rid of. Some of the more popular regions to get SmartLipo are the back; including the bra strap area, the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and arms, to name a few.
This procedure is usually done in the office in a sterile environment. Local anesthesia is used, so recovery time is greatly reduced versus the traditional liposuction procedure which is done under general anesthesia. The laser actually liquefies the fatty tissue and is removed from the body through a small skin incision by the doctor. Because of the laser temperature, it actually cauterizes the surrounding blood vessels so very little bleeding is incurred. Less bleeding, smaller cannulas and the use of the laser actually results in less bruising and less downtime. This technique also seems to have an effect on the dermis, giving it a tighter appearance than it had before the treatment.
SmartLipo is usually done on people that are healthy and are less than 25 lbs. overweight. Depending on how many areas that need treated, this treatment can take as little as 30 minutes in some cases. Basically the more areas that need work, the longer the procedure. SmartLipo can also be used to correct issues from previous surgeries. If you have problem areas that weren’t resolved from previous surgery or liposuction, than SmartLipo can help correct them.
SmartLipo is a quick way to get rid of fatty deposits in problem areas. It is one of the least invasive liposuction techniques and brings about stunning results for the right candidate. Talk to your doctor today to see if this revolutionary procedure will be the right choice for you.
