woman after smart lipoIntroduced in the United States in 2005, Smart Lipo is the next generation option for those considering liposuction. In fact Smart Lipo could be called a revolutionary method. It’s becoming known around the country as cutting edge 21st century technology.

The traditional method, liposuction, is the most prevalent form of cosmetic surgery in the United States. But, inherent in the methods used with traditional liposuction are both risks and side effects that are not associated with Smart Lipo. In fact since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Smart Lipo as a safe and acceptable procedure there has not been one reported incident of a life threatening occurrence.

Smart Lipo has taken the most advanced technique of modern medicine, the laser, and has applied that knowledge to the practice of liposuction. By using laser technology the Smart Lipo procedure reduces or in many cases completely does away with many of the problems encountered with the traditional forms of liposuction.

Just how does this miracle of modern medicine accomplish this? Through the application of laser technology and the design of the tools used in the procedure. With traditional liposuction a liquid based formula is inserted into the area being liposuctioned. The liquid emulsifies the fat particles and the fluid is then vacuumed out of the body. While the Smart Lipo procedure utilizes a liquid the laser beam is the primary source used to break down the fat. This allows for a safer, cleaner, and faster procedure.

Done in your physician’s office or clinic with patients usually walking in and walking out, then returning to their normal routine within a day or two, it’s easy to understand why Smart Lipo is the fastest growing liposuction option available today.

When compared with traditional liposuction the side effect profile for this 21st century option, Smart Lipo, is significantly less.
