Laser Lipo: Safer, more Beautiful Liposuction
Laser liposuction is safer, easier, and produces more beautiful results than ever before. The doctor can sculpt your body with laser lipo using a tiny cannula and sophisticated lasers, which combined, produce precise body contouring and promote skin tightening. No sutures are required, and scars are tiny.
Laser lipo is safe
Today's laser lipo is a much safer procedure for several reasons: Doctors use only local anesthetic when performing laser liposculpture, eliminating the high risk of general anesthesia. The tumescent technique used in most laser lipo procedures involves little or no blood loss. The small cannulas used in laser lipo surgery require only the tiniest of incisions, greatly lowering the risk of infection and bruising.
"All in all, I would do it over in a heartbeat."
Laser lipo results are beautiful
With the user of lasers, today's liposuction allows lipo doctors to sculpt your body with precise contours. The laser promotes skin tightening over treated areas. Smaller instruments mean smaller incisions that do not require sutures and leave no unsightly scars. The result: a new, more beautiful you with the body that you have always dreamed of.
"My waist is now a waist, and I wear sleeveless shirts."
Laser lipo is easy
Laser lipo is an outpatient procedure, with most surgeries taking place in your physician's own clinic. You remain awake throughout the surgery, and you walk out of the clinic shortly afterward. Most patients are back to their normal routines in one or two days.
"The down time after surgery was nothing. I went back to work the next day."
Laser lipo is permanent
Once fat cells are removed, they are gone forever. Unlike other forms of weight loss surgery, laser liposuction results are permanent. Adults do not create new fat cells; when adults gain weight, current fat cells expand in size. During laser lipo surgery, the laser melts away the fatty tissue, and the surgeon removes the cells from the body. When fat cells are removed through laser lipo, the patient is permanently free of those fat cells.
"My husband said the best part was the change in my attitude."

Introduction To SmartLipo™ - Laser Lipo History
Laser liposuction became popular when SmartLipo™ was released. SmartLipo™ presented a safer alternative to traditional liposuction with less downtime. Due to its many advantages SmartLipo™ quickly became people's choice of liposuction and was coined "lunch time lipo". With SmartLipo™ someone could have liposuction performed one day and be back to work the next day. For smaller areas treated with SmartLipo™ the was literally no downtime. SmartLipo™ is different from other types of liposuction since a laser dissolved the fat cells. The SmartLipo™ laser light melted the fat cells; this made the SmartLipo™ procedure less invasive than conventional liposuction. SmartLipo™ has another advantage, it only requires local anesthesia. It is also reported that SmartLipo™ produces less bruising, scarring and swelling. This advantage also translates to a faster recovery after a patient has undergone SmartLipo™ liposuction.
Although SmartLipo™ is a minimally invasive procedure; it is recommended that the patient takes at least 1 day of after the SmartLipo™ procedure. SmartLipo™ also presented another advantage: it sculpted. This is why many surgeons preferred SmartLipo™ since SmartLipo™ allowed them to achieve greater precision. Additionally, liposuction and in this case SmartLipo™; are the best ways to get rid of stubborn fat. Due to the heat produced by the SmartLipo™ laser the patient also experiences greater skin tightening and with this better results.
SmartLipo™ was only the beginning of laser liposuction. It was the first step into a complete new line of technologies and laser liposuction devices that deliver better results day by day. Laser liposuction and SmartLipo™ have revolutionized the way liposuction is performed.
