Smartlipo ™ Laserlipolysis – Permanent Fat Destruction Without the Suction
Smartlipo ™ laserlipolysis is a minimally invasive procedure which uses a laser to zap unwanted fat fast, whether on the face, neck, abdomen, back, thighs, arms or breasts. Unlike traditional liposuction, laserlipolysis targets fat, quickly liquefying it so that it can either easily drain or be absorbed by the body's lymphatic system where it's then flushed naturally from the body. Utilizing a local anesthetic rather than a general anesthetic, you can actually stand during the treatment, ensuring that you attain the body you've always wanted the first time; traditional lipo requires post surgical touch ups as much as 20% of the time. The Low Down on Smartlipo™ Laserlipolysis – Less Is More
Previously available only overseas, Smartlipo™ laserlipolysis (laser assisted liposuction) was approved by the Food & Drug Administration on October 31, 2006, and has already been featured in People magazine ("Has Fat Met Its Match?"), and on Good Morning America, the Today Show and Access Hollywood. Compared to traditional liposuction, Smartlip™ laserlipolysis results in less bleeding, less bruising, less swelling, less discomfort, smaller incisions and better results – usually in one, 60 minute session. And, because the laser utilized in a Smartlipo™ actually stimulates collagen production, tighter skin typically results.
