 Reshape Your Body. Reshape Your Life.
Minimally invasive techniques have become more abundant and technology is
improving rapidly, offering opportunities for more and more people to make the
decisions to undergo body contouring procedures.
Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic procedure performed in the United States today.
Smartlipo LaserBodySculpting is a minimally invasive, laser-assisted lipolysis procedure that targets trouble spots like the abdomen, thighs and neck, and permanently eliminates fat.
Those “love handles,” “bat wings,” “muffin tops,” “saddlebags” and jowls that don’t respond to exercise and diet? They improve dramatically with greater results, minimal downtime, and less pain than traditional liposuction. Because Smartlipo actually tightens the skin through coagulation, you don’t have to worry about dimpling and sagging. And with Smartlipo
TriPlex, you can experience the latest generation of laser-assisted lipolysis. This unique technology offered by
Lase The Fat Laser Center delivers the optimal blend of two laser wavelengths for fat removal, tissue tightening and safe results.
With Smartlipo, you’re in our office one day and turning heads the next. Are you ready? It’s time to reshape your body and reshape your life.

following areas: |

Ideal Candidates
The Smartlipo procedure cannot be used as a means of drastic weight loss, but
rather sculpts and smoothes the body. So, it is important to have realistic results before undergoing the SmartLipo procedure.
Smartlipo is designed for individuals who are close to their ideal weight and
are in good overall health. It maybe used to remove stubborn areas of fat that
do not respond to traditional diet and exercise.

The Procedure
Before the SmartLipo procedure, the doctor will mark the targeted fatty areas
and confirm each of them with you. Local anesthetic will be applied to each
area in order to minimize discomfort.
Smartlipo Triplex is the latest advance in laser assisted lipolysis. Using
three different laser wavelengths treatment can be customized based on the
patients' needs. Smart Laser Triplex treatment involves four steps. Initially
tumescent fluid containing adrenaline and local anesthetic is placed into the
areas to be treated. Then using very small incisions a fine laser probe delivers
energy that melts the fat away from surrounding structures (nerves, blood vessels
and fibrous tissue) while another laser controls bleeding. Once this is completed
laser energy is applied more superficially to tighten the skin. Finally the melted
fat is gently suctioned away. The patient is then placed in an appropriate compression
garment, and is able to leave our office shortly after surgery.

Recovery
Most patients enjoy a quick and painless recovery from the SmartLipo procedure. Since
this procedure does not use general anesthesia, patients can leave our office shortly
after treatment and may return back to work in one to four days depending upon the extent
of their treatment. Bruising and swelling are less than with traditional liposuction.
Patients will be placed in a compression garment and will be given specific instructions
on how to care for themselves after the SmartLipo procedure.
The ideal candidate for laser lipolysis is a patient who is thin, in good health, and presents with
isolated pockets of removable fat. Our team of clinicians at Lase The Fat Laser
Center will perform a careful assessment and educate each patient prior to proceeding
with the procedure. Candidates with too much fat are more likely to not see dramatic results. All patients
should be advised that laser lipolysis is not a substitute for healthy diet and exercise.

Results
The results of SmartLipo are visible immediately after the procedure and will continue to
improve for up to three months after. Along with removing localized fat, SmartLipo also
tightens and smoothes the skin, leaving a slimmer and younger looking result. Traditional
liposuction often leaves skin loose and sagging, leaving many patients seeking additional treatment.
These results can be permanent as long as patients maintain their healthy weight through diet
and exercise. Most patients are able to reach their desired results with just one SmartLipo treatment.
However, if you decide to undergo further treatment, you can do so after four months.

Risks and Side Effects
As with any procedure, there are certain risks and side effects associated with
the SmartLipo procedure. Side effects are usually mild and temporary and may
including bruising, swelling and discomfort. Since being brought to U.S. and
FDA-approved, there have been no serious complications occur as a result of the
SmartLipo procedure. You can talk to your physician at our center about the risks and any other concerns
you may have about this procedure before deciding if SmartLipo is right for you. |
