Most Common Uses of Smart Lipo

Smart Lipo is a revolutionary approach to traditional liposuction. Smart Lipo's cutting-edge technology introduces a safer and more cost-effective liposuction treatment method. Approved by the FDA in November 2006, Smart Lipo utilizes a perfectly calibrated laser in liquefying the fat deposits in the fat cells, making the liquid easier to evacuate from the body through a tiny incision made in the skin.  As the laser zaps fat, it can also seal blood vessels, minimizing the common side effects of traditional liposuction like swelling, bruising and bleeding.

Also known as laser-assisted lyposis, Smart Lipo is one of the best alternatives to traditional liposuction. It aims to give the same results but with minimal risk of known side effects. Smart Lipo is commonly used for patients who need body sculpturing and total body mass reduction. Here are some of the most common reasons why patients seek out Smart Lipo treatment:

Plump Face

Because Smart Lipo uses a small cannula in reaching treated areas, it can be performed on the face. A plump face often results in a double chin and fleshy cheeks. Smart Lipo is safe enough to target some problem areas on the face.

Fatty Areas in the Body

Exercise and diet don't always help in slimming down all the areas of the body. Even if a person has worked hard to target a certain weight and figure, there are still some fatty tissues in certain parts of the body that can't be eliminated. Smart Lipo can trim off excess fat on common problem areas like the arms, abdomen, back, buttocks and thighs to help a patient achieve a better figure.

Disproportionate Figure

Some women tend to store fat in the lower part of their bodies, like the hip and thigh area. Likewise, those who are heavy on top can store more fat on their upper limbs and chest area. Smart Lipo can help reduce a patient's weight and sculpt their body by targeting specific areas to achieve a more balanced and attractive figure.

Maintenance of Healthy Lifestyle

If seeking a more controlled eating and exercise regimen, getting a Smart Lipo treatment to eliminate unwanted fat in specific areas can help jump-start and motivate a patient into a healthier lifestyle. Results can be maximized if the patient maintains healthy eating habits and physical routines after the treatment.

Smart Lipo is becoming one of the more popular alternatives to conventional liposuction, because it does not require wide incisions. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and takes 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the treatment area. Smart Lipo is minimally-invasive with very little downtime, so patients can resume their regular activities within 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Follow all instructions given by the specialist post surgery and keep all appointments set by the doctor to ensure proper care of wound and immediate healing process. This should help a patient achieve maximum results from a Smart Lipo treatment.
