Six packs abdomen (smartLipo)
Today more women and men want to look and feel better about themselves, which is why body contouring and lipo-sculpture are constantly growing in popularity and becoming the most appreciated cosmetic surgery performed nowadays.

SmartLipo is the first and only laser-assisted liposuction system available meeting this need. It provides a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat using a high-powered laser to sculpt body contours and tighten skin with less downtime and side-effects.

How does the SmartLipo procedure work?
SmartLipo is a simple procedure: A very small cannula or tube containing the laser fiber is inserted into the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth as the laser’s energy is delivered directly to the fat cells, making them rupture and easy to drain away. In addition, as the laser energy interacts with the dermis it results in skin shrinkage or tightening.

Because of the cannula’s small size, SmartLipo is a minimally invasive procedure and can be performed under local anesthesia. The procedure causes less bleeding, swelling and bruising, resulting in a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction methods since the laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact. Avoiding the use of general anesthesia, the procedure is very safe with minimal side effects.

Who is a good candidate for the SmartLipo procedure?
If your body has areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise, that makes you a candidate for SmartLipo.

What body regions can be treated with SmartLipo?
SmartLipo is ideal for treating areas of the face, neck, arms, breasts, abdomen, thighs and areas of loose and flabby skin.

Is there any scarring after SmartLipo?
Skin incisions being so small, they do not require stitches after the procedure. Therefore they are virtually undetectable after healing.

How many treatments will I need?
Usually for most patients only one treatment is required. The session may last from 45 minutes to one hour for each area treated.

Do I have to do anything post-treatment?
After the treatment a compression garment has to be worn for three days to two weeks, depending on the body area being treated. You will also need to rest for 24 hours after the procedure. Most of our patients return to work 2 days after surgery. Avoid hot tubs or strenuous exercise for 2 weeks.

Does SmartLipo treat cellulite?
Cellulite may improve as the procedure improves the general body shape

When can I expect to see results?
You can start seeing results as soon as within a week followed by continued improvement over several months.

Does laser-assisted liposuction produce lasting results?
Of course! Adults do not create new fat cells. When a person gains weight, the fat cells expand. The SmartLipo procedure permanently removes the fat cells. Should you gain weight, fat will be deposited in the same way had you not had the liposuction procedure.
