The reputation of liposuction has for some time suffered due to horror stories that have circulated, with bruising and pain experienced by many patients, and loose skin left after the process that often requires further cosmetic treatment. The invasive nature of the procedure can also lead to other medical complications. Smart Laser Lipolysis, or Smart Lipo, is a step forward from liposuction, being a much less invasive procedure which, though suitable only for smaller areas of fat removal, results in very little discomfort to the patient and improved results.
There are many reasons why many patients choose Smart Lipo over traditional liposuction. These include:
• Smart Lipo uses less invasive equipment than ordinary liposuction, greatly reducing discomfort.
• Smart Lipo is a fast procedure that takes no more than a couple of hours to perform, and results in minimal downtime.
• Smart Lipo is performed under local anesthetic rather than a full general anesthetic, meaning there is less risk.
• Smart Lipo results in much less bleeding or swelling than traditional liposuction as the laser technology used seals up blood vessels as the surgery is in progress.
• Smart Lipo stimulates collagen production, resulting in a tightening of any loose skin.
So, what areas is it suitable for?
Candidates for should have realistic expectations of what can be achieved. It is also ideal for people of fairly average weight with stubborn areas of fat that they want removing, but it is not a suitable treatment for obesity. Results are excellent and natural-looking, but do become visible over time rather than instantly.
