SmartLipo – The new era of liposuction
Smartlipo: Effective Results In A Short Time
Smartlipo is a new, advanced method of removing fat from specific areas of the body. The method involves the use of highly sensitive laser technology that has been designed and built specifically for this purpose.
An advantage of this method of fat removal is that the laser that is used encourages collagen to be increased in the areas that are being treated. This equipment and technique was thoroughly researched and tested before being granted approval for use in 2006 by the Food and Drug Administration.
The process for using the laser involved a small incision made after a local anesthetic is applied through which the laser is using a cannula. The laser targets fat cells turning them immediately into an oily substance. This method can dissolve up to 3500ml of fat in a single treatment.
Because the laser focuses on small areas, the sagging skin that normally follows liposuction is greatly reduced. In most cases the skin will tighten quickly following the procedure as the collagen is increased and oily residue is eliminated from the body.
There are two methods for removing the oily substance that remains when the fat has been dissolved by the laser. Many times the residue is naturally eliminated from the body, however if a patient desires this residue can be removed at the time of the procedures. Removal of fat residue is accomplished using suction equipment. It should be noted however that whether the residue is eliminated naturally or manually, the healing time has been shown to be the same.
As the laser is addressing the fat cells of an area there is an added benefit. The laser emits a tremendous amount of heat with pinpoint accuracy. This heat cauterizes any small blood vessels that may be broken during the treatment at the same time it is dissolving the cells. This greatly reduces the incidence of bleeding or infection risk for the patient.
When discussing treatment with the physician an individual will be informed of all of the treatment plan and what they can expect after the procedure is completed. In most cases the time needed for healing is minimal. Individuals are able to return to their regular activities within a day and suffer minimal discomfort. There are normally some visual changes in the body right after treatment which include skin that is firm and healthy looking in the area that has been addressed.
In most cases the full benefit of Smartlipo treatment does not appear for up to two months. The changes occur visibly as the residue is expelled from the body which will depend on the metabolism of the individual. Some individuals choose to return after several months for follow-up treatment to address areas that may need further procedural action.
Choosing to receive Smartlipo treatment provides a person with the opportunity to start fresh. This includes adhering to a healthier lifestyle and avoiding those foods that created the fat pockets originally. By doing this a person can maintain the results of the procedure much longer and enjoy the benefits of their treatment indefinitely.
