LASER LIPOSUCTION (SMARTLIPO™)

Laser Liposuction (Smartlipo™) is an innovative new procedure for removing excess body fat and firming loose skin. Through the use of a single laser fiber that is introduced into the body through a small cannula, doctors can literally melt fat away, removing stubborn fat deposits and toning the body. Laser liposuction also tightens the skin, eliminating sagginess and giving it a youthful firmness. Laser Liposuction generally involves a very short recovery time, with most patients being able to return to work and normal activities within a day or two. Further information about this non-invasive laser liposuction procedure can be found below.

THE LASER SMART LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE

In this minimally invasive procedure, a doctor inserts a tiny probe containing a low-energy laser fiber directly into the targeted fat deposit. The energy from the laser destroys the fat cells, which are then drained away, but has virtually no effect on the surrounding tissue. The entire laser liposuction process usually takes less than an hour for each targeted area and can be performed under local anesthesia. The use of the laser ensures a clean, nearly painless procedure, with minimal scarring.

LASER SMART LIPOSUCTION BENEFITS

Laser liposuction can transform the way a person looks, reversing the effects of aging and eliminating areas of fat that fail to respond to dieting and exercise. Though Laser Liposuction is mainly used to treat small, localized deposits, up to eight pounds of fat can be removed through the procedure; it can also be performed in conjunction with traditional liposuction if necessary. Though no surgery is completely free from risk, Laser Liposuction has proven to be one of the safest cosmetic procedures.
Recovery typically requires only one or two days, with very little post-operative discomfort.Despite the fact that people lose weight and tone up muscles in certain areas, pockets of fat remain. Fotona XP2 Laser lipolysis now offers a realistic option of fat reduction to permanently remove fat cells in these extremely difficult and resistant areas.
Fotona XP2 Laser lipolysis is a precise method, less traumatic than the conventional one. The interaction between the laser and the adipocyte causes lipolysis with reduced bleeding and its effect on collagen tone promotes collagen retraction and skin shrinkage.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE SMART LIPO LASER LIPOSUCTION SYSTEM

• May be conducted in a doctor’s rooms.
• Minimal invasiveness.
• Fat may be removed naturally.
• Minimal recovery time and no bandages.
• Previously difficult areas can now be treated.
• Several areas can be treated in the same visit with virtually invisible entry points.
• Can be performed as a genuine “walk in and walk out” procedure for most treated areas.
• The procedure is significantly less traumatic than traditional liposuction and involves practically no loss of blood.
• There is a distinct lack of bruising and fast recovery, with results after only one treatment.
• Laser lipolysis offers minimal discomfort during the procedure, and a mild dull ache after local anesthetic has worn off, as opposed to severe pain after liposuction.
• Skin tightens around the area with laser lipolysis – there is much less loose skin left hanging after the treatment as there is with liposuction.
• Laser lipolysis fat reduction is a much safer procedure than liposuction.

LASER SMART LIPOSUCTION RISKS

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with laser liposuction. Complications with Laser Liposuction are extremely rare, though there is a small risk of infection. Also, some patients experience minor swelling and bruising; however, this usually disappears within a few days. Choosing an experienced, reputable doctor will greatly decrease the possibility of any side effects, however, and will provide better results.

SIDE EFFECTS

The actual procedure is generally well tolerated, due to the local anaesthesia. You may feel a tugging sensation during treatment but should not feel pain. People may experience minor swelling, bruising or tenderness for a few days.
