Smart Lipo

Posted in Health Information | June 25th, 2009

If you’re thinking of getting some fat trimmed off yourself, forget going for the general liposuction operation, it’s best to go with laser liposuction (smart lipo)! The Food and Drug Administration has just approved the new, much less-invasive way of liposuction using lasers. Most doctors say that this smart lipo option is much better and safer than the traditional liposuction surgery. It can help people lose a lot of fat with very little down time, and without the usual effects of loose, bumpy skin that is associated with traditional liposuction. Smart lipo, smart lipo, laser liposuction or laser lipolysis, is a procedure for getting rid of fat like liposuction that utilizes the energy generated from a laser fibre to “melt” fat away. Laser liposuction is performed in a doctor’s office under a light, local anaesthetic. Due to the cannula’s small size, smart lipo is a minimally invasive procedure and can be performed under local anaesthesia. The laser causes small blood vessels to thicken immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising – and a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction. Because general anaesthesia is unnecessary, the laser procedure is very safe, with only minimal side effects. Traditional liposuction uses a vacuum with a metal tube attached, which the doctor moves back and forth as it tears out and removes fat. You get more loose skin as a result, bleeding, swelling, scaring and destruction of tissue. Sagging skin sometimes necessitates additional surgical procedures such as face or neck lifts. Alternatively, smart lipo uses a laser which melts away fat and results in less destruction and bruising, less scaring and no stitches. Recovery times are also faster with smart lipo.
