Smartlipo™ Laser Lipolysis

in Body Sculpting and Contouring

At Laser Skin Care, we have over a decade of experience with microcannula liposuction body sculpting under Tumescent local anesthesia in the office operating room.

We have now added Smartlipo™, the first and only FDA approved (2006) laser lipolysis procedure to our technique.  Smartlipo™ employs the use of a laser to liquefy the fat for more efficient liposuction and skin tightening, further avoiding the skin laxity that often results from traditional liposuction. This “cutting edge technology of cosmetic surgery” is the most popular type of liposuction available today.  Smartlipo™ is a painless and minimally invasive body sculpting technique offering superb results with minimal trauma, great safety, fewer complications, and a fast recovery rate.  Patients have essentially no down-time, and they typically return to work in 1 to 3 post-op days (almost a “Lunch Hour Lipo”).  This quick recovery further reduces the total cost.  

With Smartlipo™ a 1 to 2 mm cannula (tube) containing a laser fiber is inserted through tiny skin incisions into the fatty layer to liquefy fat deposits for efficient microcannula liposuction, thus giving the best chance for a smooth, sculptured, cosmetic result. The laser light also acts as a visual guide for precise cannula tip movements, thus minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.  By sealing blood vessels, the laser minimizes swelling, bleeding, and bruising.  Moreover, the laser energy shrinks collagen in the dermis, thus tightening (“shrink-wrapping”) the skin in order to circumvent the loose skin problem that typically follows traditional liposuction and to avoid the scarring that results from excising loose skin as in a facelift or tummy tuck.  Furthermore the Smartlipo™ laser stimulates new collagen formation in the dermis to reconstruct the skin, thus “turning back the clock.”
