Smartlipo®: Sculpt Away Stubborn Fat in One Day
Perhaps no amount of exercise has been effective at thinning your thighs? Or maybe sensitive back or neck muscles keep you from doing the crunches that might trim your belly fat. Many people struggle with localized pouches of fat — like waddles around the chin or bra-bulges on the back — that no amount of strict dieting or exercise will banish.
If this sounds familiar, Smartlipo may be the perfect body contouring solution for you. This technologically advanced, minimally invasive laser liposuction procedure can sculpt away fat in just an hour or two, allowing you to resume most of your normal activities within a single day.
Smartlipo uses a small, precise laser probe inserted into targeted areas through tiny incisions. The probe’s high-energy laser light breaks down fat cells, which are then gently removed with a specialized cannula or naturally eliminated through your body’s organic metabolic processes.
The Fat is Vanished — and the Skin is Tightened
While a procedure that simply melts fat away would be incredible on its own, Smartlipo adds another crucial body-sculpting benefit: skin tightening. The gentle laser preserves the fibrous connective tissue between the skin and underlying muscle fascia while actively promoting new collagen production.
For many patients, this dual action significantly enhances skin retraction and re-draping after the fat is removed. This is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing a natural decline in skin elasticity, which generally begins after age 40.
Is Smartlipo Right for Me?
Almost everyone interested in laser-assisted body contouring is an excellent candidate for Smartlipo. It is important to remember that Smartlipo is not a weight-loss procedure, but is instead used to create a sleeker, more flattering silhouette where stubborn pockets of fat linger.
The Ideal Candidate
The treatment is best for healthy individuals who want targeted body contouring on specific areas. Ideally, candidates meet the following criteria:
- Are in generally good overall health
- Maintain a regular exercise routine
- Stay within roughly 25 pounds of their ideal weight
- Are seeking precise sculpting on localized areas of stubborn fat
Smartlipo is also frequently used as a highly effective complementary procedure after traditional liposuction because it excels at high-definition, precise body contouring.
Those with underlying health issues are not automatically excluded, but special precautions may be required. All aspects of the procedure and your unique health history will be thoroughly discussed during a private consultation with our nurse and cosmetic surgeon.
Is Smartlipo a Medical Procedure?
Yes, Smartlipo is a medical procedure conducted on an outpatient basis by our licensed plastic surgeons in our luxurious medical spas. Most procedures are performed comfortably using a local anesthetic, although general anesthesia may be requested upon request.
Your BodyLase treatment will include a comprehensive medical screening to verify that you are a viable candidate, alongside pre- and post-procedure appointments to fully outline what you can expect during and after the process.
