And with the advancement in modern technology those procedures include the use of lasers, even liposuction can be done with lasers now. Smartlipo is liposuction or body sculpting if you will that utilizes a laser to remove fat.

Smartlipo Procedure

An incision is made in the targeted area where a tiny cannula, or tube, approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter containing a laser fiber can be inserted into your skin. The tube is moved back and forth allowing the laser's energy to target the fat cells, causing them to burst and easily drain away. The laser energy also interacts with the dermis so that it is able to shrink the collagen.

This is a minimally invasive procedure and that is performed under local anesthesia. The laser causes small blood vessels to clot instantaneously when they are touched, which results in less bleeding, swelling and bruising, and a more rapid recovery time than conventional liposuction. Because there is no need for general anesthesia, the procedure is extremely safe with only minimal side effects.

Usually only on treatment is necessary and the procedure itself usually takes between 45 minutes to one hour for each area that needs to be treated.

Most Common Treated Areas Include:

• The flanks

• The back

• The hips

• The upper abdomen

• Previous treated liposuctioned areas
