The SmartLipo Procedure

This article is about it Smartlipo laser procedure, advanced technology, it is a fast treatment that does not leave an ugly scar and the results become evident in a week.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 300,000 people in the United States underwent invasive surgery in 2006 to remove fat from inside their bodies. 

Liposuction is a procedure performed daily in the US, often requiring additional surgery to remove the excess skin left behind when a large portion of fat is simply removed from the body. 

Fortunately, technology often holds the key to unlocking the doors that lead to improvement, especially in liposuction. 

SmartLipo is an exemplary case. This relatively new procedure is growing rapidly, serving a steady stream of patients who want to see firsthand if SmartLipo works as well as reported. 

Dubbed a "medical miracle" by some, SmartLipo has turned many customers into believers. SmartLipo does what it says, and it does it very well.

Traditional liposuction - invasive and risky

Liposuction has been performed on millions of people in the years since its introduction in 1982. Although the surgery is frequently performed, the technique is quite invasive and the result of fat removal is literally in the hands of the surgeon.

The cannula, or tube, used in traditional liposuction is between four and six millimeters in diameter and requires an incision that often requires stitches. 

Once the painful procedure is complete, patients can expect to wear compression bandages for at least six weeks. Bruising and tissue damage are common complications with traditional liposuction.

SmartLipo advanced technology 

SmartLipo is much more advanced than traditional liposuction:

• Instead of manually moving the cannula through the fat removal area, plastic surgeons use a much thinner cannula (one millimeter in diameter), which has a laser attached to the end.

• Also known as laser lipolysis, SmartLipo does not suck fat cells out of the body. 

• Instead, the laser is used to melt fat cells in the treatment area, and the heat from the laser helps seal blood vessels to minimize bleeding. 

• The connective tissue is not bruised or traumatized as is often the case in traditional liposuction procedures.

• Another added effect of undergoing SmartLipo is that the body produces collagen in response to the heat from the laser. 

• Plastic surgeons often inject patients with collagen to add firmness to sagging areas. As a great side effect, SmartLipo actually helps sculpt the body by tightening the skin as the fat is removed. 

• This process continues from inside the body for about three months.

Generally speaking, most patients who undergo the SmartLipo treatment return to work within two days. 

As tissue trauma and bleeding are minimal, compression bandages are only recommended for up to two weeks, simply as a precaution.

Are there stitches after laser insertion ?

The laser insertion site is imperceptible and does not require stitches.

Compared to traditional liposuction, which can require up to six weeks of bandages, stitches, and even additional surgeries to remove excess skin, SmartLipo is hands down the fastest.

most advanced, and most effective method of permanently removing body fat in problem areas.
