SmartLipo Laser Liposuction
SmartLipo, the laser assisted liposuction, is a relatively new alternative liposuction technique gaining popularity across the country this spring. Although the procedure has some elements of the traditional liposuction surgery, the approach to fat removal is absolutely different.
The new approach makes laser assisted liposuction less invasive and traumatic and, most important, eliminates many of the liposuction risks and dangers associated with the traditional surgery. For this reason SmartLipo is regarded by many doctors as one of the safest alternatives to lipo. SmartLipo laser is fully FDA approved.
In the course of a traditional liposuction surgery the fat is mechanically loosened (actually, beaten up) by the metal cannula and then suctioned away. With SmartLipo Laser, a fiberoptic cable is inserted into the body and fat is melted by the means of a powerful laser. If the amount of fat is small it can be removed from the body in a natural way through the lymphatic system. The big amount needs to be suctioned, but the procedure is easy and less traumatic.
