SmartLipo or laser liposuction is a technique that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of fat deposits throughout the body. The SmartLipo laser disrupts the fat cells, thereby reducing unwanted fat deposits. The SmartLipo laser energy is also transmitted to the overlying skin, which leads to tightening of the skin. When compared to traditional liposuction, SmartLipo is less invasive, does not require general anesthesia and the laser energy, which promotes blood vessel coagulation, helps reduce swelling, bruising and bleeding for a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
SmartLipo can be performed almost anywhere there is fat on the body. Liposuction surgeon Dr. Greenwald often uses the technique to help his SmartLipo patients ameliorate fat affecting the thighs, buttocks, lower back, legs, arms and neck. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, is minimally invasive due to the size of the small cannula (1 mm) and the results are excellent.
SmartLipo or Smart Lipo (also known as laser body sculpting) is among the most sought after minimally invasive procedures in years. With minimal downtime, it may be the perfect solution for areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia. SmartLipo not only reduces fat volume but has been shown to tighten the skin in the treated area. This enables Dr. Greenwald to treat patients with lax skin who may not be candidates for traditional liposuction.
Although extremely effective in sculpting the body, SmartLipo is not a weight loss procedure and cannot be used to remove large areas of fat. SmartLipo candidacy varies by patient and is determined by Dr. Greenwald. The best way to learn whether you are a SmartLipo candidate is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Greenwald. If SmartLipo is not for you, Dr. Greenwald will educate you on other treatment options so that you can attain the cosmetic results you are looking for.
