Smart Lipo: How Does It Work

Smartlipo, a non-invasive procedure uses today’s newest technology, lasers, to aid in the reduction of body fat. It uses the laser energy to dismantle and dissolve the fatty tissue under the skin.

After your consultation, the targeted treatment areas will be marked and a local anesthetic is given to numb the area to be treated by the laser. Once the areas have been identified, a small, hand-held laser is directed over the treatment area. The laser’s energy is directed below the surface of the skin targeting the fatty tissue that is to be removed. As the laser is passed over the smartlipo treatment areas, it’s energy breaks-up the fat cells and liquefies for the body to remove through normal body processes.
One great side-effect (benefit) is that as the lasers energy is passed over the treatment area, it encourages new collagen growth! This new growth helps to tighten skin and improves the over-all look of the treated area.

If you’re seeking a newest alternative, and most highly effective method to significantly improve the safety and efficiency of many surgical techniques, then laser technology is definitely the technique you’ll want to consider. Because of the less invasive safer approach laser technologies are now more than ever routinely used in dental procedures, lasik eye surgery, reconstructive work and cosmetic procedures—including liposuction—laser technology is what sets SmartLipo apart from its competition.

The word “laser” is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Precise and safe, today’s medical-grade lasers work by creating a powerful light beam that is adjusted to a specific frequency range.
