Smartlipo^™Laser Body Sculpting

An actual LaserMD Smartlipo^™ patient

Smartlipo^™Procedure

This advanced technology uses a tiny laser to liquify the fat cells before permanently removing them through a small incision, while simultaneously coagulating the tissue around the area resulting in overall tighter skin. Unlike traditional liposuction, Smartlipo^™ is minimimally invasive, requires only local anesthesia, and results are visible in as little as one week with continued improvement for up to six months. Patients may continue most normal activity within 48 hours, but strenuous activity should be avoided for two weeks.

Approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the procedure, routine blood work will be done. Any blood thinners, such as aspirin, should be stopped at least 7 days prior to the procedure.

The day of the procedure, be sure to wear comfortable clothing such as a sweat suit and socks.

Because the Smartlipo^™ does not require general anesthesia, you may eat a light meal prior to the procedure. You will need to arrange transportation home.

After the procedure, you will need to wear compression garments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does laserbodyscultping work?
-This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted into the skin. A laser fiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away as liquid. Simultaneously, tissue around the area coagulates, resulting in overall tighter skin tissue.

What areas of the body can be treated?
-LaserBodySculpting is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, breasts, "bra fat", abdomen, "love handles", "saddle bags", inner and outer thighs and knees.

Am I a candidate?
-LaserBodySculpting is meant for areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. The perfect candidate is in good health and of normal body weight

How does LaserBodySculpting compare to conventional liposuction?
-Conventional liposuction is meant to remove greater amounts of fat. However, since this can leave behind unsightly pockets of skin, laser assisted lipolysis is often a perfect complement.

Is there a recovery period?
-LaserBodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light trauma can occur, but you'll be able to return to work in a couple of days and resume exercise after 2 weeks.

How many treatments are required?
-Typically only one treatment is required. Results can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over 3 to 6 months. A compression garment may be worn for a short period after treatment, depending on the body are treated.
