Laser Liposuction – Smart Lipo

Laser liposuction is the latest innovative technology for the removal of excess fat from the body and for strengthening loose skin. Smartlipo is one such procedure that had earned a reputation of late. In this operation, the doctor introduces a single laser fiber into the body. This is done through a small cannula and the laser fiber melts the fat deposits. The body toning is thus improved and the skin is tightened, removing the sag. The skin acquires a firmness that looks youthful. The recovery time of Smartlipo is very short and the patient is able to take up normal activities almost immediately.

Laser liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure. The doctor introduces a tiny probe into the fat deposit that should be melted. The probe contains a laser fiber of very low energy. The laser energy melts the fat cells and destroys them. The broken down fat cells are drained away. However, in this operation, the surrounding tissues are not affected at all. Each targeted fat area could be treated with laser liposuction in less than an hour. Local anesthesia is enough for each invasion. The entire procedure is least painful, clean, and the scarring is limited to the minimum possible

Smartlipo could be used to remove up to 8 pounds of fat. In general, the whole procedure is done in small parts, removing localized fat deposits. Laser liposuction would be able to transform the looks of a person and reverse the aging effect. The major advantage of laser liposuction is that fat deposits not responding to exercise and dieting could be successfully eliminated. The entire procedure is quite safe and recovery time is very short. There is not much of a post-operative side effect or discomfort. In rare cases, there could be bruising, swelling and infection. However, most of these problems subside in a few days, if the doctor is careful.

There are four types of laser liposuction methods today. They are ultrasound-assisted liposuction, power assisted liposuction, tumescent liposuction and LipoSelection. The last one is a patented procedure based on ultrasound technology. In ultrasound-assisted liposuctions, a special cannula that emits ultrasonic energy is used to break up the fat. The liquefied fat is easily removed by suctioning out with traditional liposuction methods.

In power-assisted liposuctions, the cannula is powered to produce rapid but tiny vibrations that break up the fat cells. This procedure is much gentler than other types of liposuctions, is quicker, and highly effective in removal of large quantities of fat with the least patient discomfort. Tumescent liposuctions are carried out by injecting large amounts of fluids into the targeted area. This procedure reduces loss of blood but the entire operation is more time consuming that the other types of liposuctions.

Laser liposuction is increasingly used in reducing fat deposits in upper arms, abdomen, hips, and thighs. Initially, Smartlipo was used by women in majority of the cases. However, nowadays, men are also undergoing laser liposuction treatments to tone up their bodies, even though the treatment is costlier than that for women and more time consuming. The improved body shape is a boon to people who are worried by unwanted fat in their body parts.
