SmartLipo by Cynosure - Localized Liposuction Options
SmartLipo is designed for effective use in localized fat removal, and is often effective for patients who might not be best suited for traditional liposuction treatments. This procedure uses smaller instruments and much more specialized technology that is designed to target and get rid of fat cells in the body. The procedure is often used for localized fat elimination and body contouring and can be used on the arms, hips, thighs, back, love handles, abdomen, knees, neck, and chin.
SmartLipo works through laser technology to provide people with relief that they need from fat cells in the body. A very precise beam of light is created to turn fat in the top layers of the skin into liquid so that it can be eliminated through the body’s natural detoxification process. Most of the fat is removed through the small tube that is inserted into the tiny incision that is made in the treatment area. However, minute amounts can often be left behind and eliminated or reabsorbed by the body. The laser seals the blood vessels that it hits as it is emulsifying the fat, which leads to less bleeding and fewer bruises than traditional liposuction treatments. Research done has proven that very little fat will be reabsorbed into the body during this process.
Before you can have this treatment performed properly, you will need to have a consultation with your doctor or specialist to determine that this is, in fact, the right treatment option for your needs. You will need to provide medical history and other relevant information so that you can be sure to get the best treatment possible for your needs. SmartLipo is usually done with local anesthesia, leaving no negative side effects or dangers that come from surgical processes that involve general anesthesia. Patients will be back to normal activity within a few days to a week, and bandages from the incision points will be removed in a week or two.
SmartLipo is generally only effective for patients who are looking to lose eight pounds or less, depending on each patient. This procedure is highly effective for low-level weight loss and simple removal of localized fat cells, but is not ideal for anyone who needs to lose a significant amount of body fat or who needs a lot of treatment. If you are looking for a little tuck here or there, you can find it in this procedure. You don’t have to pay the high costs of traditional liposuction and you will enjoy a quicker recovery and less invasive procedure, as well.
