SmartLipo
Reshape your body, reshape your life.
How does SmartLipo Work?
This laser assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a one milli-meter cannula (or small tube) inserted into the skin. This laser fiber inside the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells using 2 different wavelengths, causing them to rupture and drain away as liquid. The dual wavelengths also allow for more effective tightening of your skin.
What areas of the body can be treated?
SmartLipo MPX is ideal for areas of skin laxity, such as the neck and arms or for fat from the abdomen, love handles, saddle bags or inner and outer thighs.
What are the advantages of SmartLipo MPX over conventional liposuction procedures?
Both treatments effectively remove fat, but convention liposuction can leave behind unsightly pockets of skin. The SmartLipo MPX wavelengths have been shown to increase collagen and reorganize collagen fibers to tighten and improve the quality of your skin.
Is there a recovery period?
SmartLipo MPX is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light trauma can occur, but you will be able to return to work in a couple of days and resume exercise after 2 weeks.
Am I a candidate?
SmartLipo MPX is designed for removing unwanted fat and tightening the skin. The ideal candidate is in good health and normal body weight.
