Smart Lipo – A Modern Answer To The Ever Present Obesity Problem
Smart Lipo (or SmartLipo), in essence, is the lighter more high tech version of orthodox liposuction. Customary liposuction makes use of a larger incision, general anesthesia and a prolonged period of pain and recuperation. Smart Lipo is part of the new wave of scalpel-free, non-invasive cosmetic treatments.
The procedure is initiated with a small 1mm incision into which a probe is pushed. The probe houses the laser light that burns away the fat and results in the area being slimmer and more sculpted. This is one of the new operating room technologies much like that used in pearly penile papules treatment. After the procedure, collagen fibers are formed and the skin contracts naturally. Accordingly, the extra hanging skin common with the more orthodox form of liposuction is not a problem with Smart Lipo. Due to the little incision, there are no sutures, no pain.
Liposuction treatments typically last for about 2 hours and the patient will not be able to return to work for 2 weeks. Full recovery will take several months during which the patient is required to wear pressure garments. As described at the Thermage clinic Smart Lipo treatments traditionally last between 45 minutes to one hour and although several visits may be required for the treatment of larger areas, recovery is much quicker.
The likelihood of complications is much higher with traditional liposuction as a consequence of the invasive procedures used to remove the fat. After the procedure is done, the patient is often left with big folds of skin that will later need to be removed via a lift procedure, increasing the possibility of complication and pain even more.
SmartLipo provides an pioneering way to remove those undesired fat deposits from the body. Even the most physically fit people may have a small number of pounds of extra fat stored here and there and Smart Lipo can do something about this. There is no need to take 4 to 6 weeks off work and sit around in discomfort while recuperating from traditional liposuction; SmartLipo takes away the same fat with less discomfort.
