Originating from Italy, this state-of-the-art liposuction technology uses a pulsed, Nd: YAG laser system. It is a new-generation procedure which enables to treat body adiposities through the laser’s ability to dissolve or liquefy redundant body fat with heat.

How does it work?

It makes use of an Nd; YAG 1064 laser that acts directly on the fat cells by destroying the membrane and releasing fatty and oily deposits extracellularly making suction easier after. The laser pulses are released through a fiberoptic and inserted through a thin cannula into the fat layer of the skin.

How long is the treatment?

The procedure is done under sedation and lasts for 2 to 4 hours, depending on the area being treated.

What are its advantages over the regular liposuction?

The heat generated by the laser helps constrict the blood vessels making the procedure less bloody. The patient will experience less pain and bruising after the treatment. It also helps to make the overlying skin contract better. Post-op recovery is also faster.

Do you always have to suction with the Smartlipo?

The Smartlipo can stand alone and a patient may not opt to do suction after. In these cases, we subject the area treated to several sessions of Lipolite treatment to enhance the excretion of the melted fat via the lymphatic system. If no suction is done, results are seen in 4 months, after which the patient can decide whether to do another treatment or not. The use of Smartlipo alone is only 30% as effective when suction is not performed. We encourage that the patient undergo suctioning after unless the problem area is very small and complaint is only loose skin.

When will I see results?

You will notice a significant change in your body after a few days. However, real change comes only after 6 weeks, when most of the swelling is gone.
