What is SmartLipo?

Smartlipo™ is a cosmetic surgery that removes fat across all body parts. The Smartlipo™ laser was approved in 2006 by the FDA. Smartlipo also goes by the name of “Lipolysis” or laser lipo. The Smartlipo™ technology uses laser energy to sculpt the body contours to the client’s specifications.

There are many different options out there for people who are looking to lose extra fat. Treatments that use heat, cold, or even lasers can all help you look your best. SmartLipo™ combines two methods of fat reduction to give you the best results possible.

Liposuction removes excess fat from the area or areas in question. Laser technology stimulates collagen production during liposuction.

By combining these two methods, patients get better results and even an easier procedure.

Of course, liposuction removes fat, allowing patients to see results right away. But when combined with the laser, collagen is stimulated, giving patients tighter skin as well. Plus, the laser can help melt fat, which makes it easier for Dr. Giordano to suction out using liposuction.

What Are the Benefits of SmartLipo?

SmartLipo™ or smart lipo abdomen treatments help individuals remove inches of excess and unwanted body fat. This simply means that fat can be reduced when the technique is employed, thereby making the treated portion slimmer and more contoured.

SmartLipo™ uses heat generated by the laser light, making it a less invasive procedure than traditional liposuction. Before the invention of laser lipo, a traditional method was used. The method uses a ” Cannula ” tube to remove excess fat from the desired area.

SmartLipo™, unlike its traditional counterpart, SmartLipoTM does not leave sagging skin after the procedure. SmartLipo™ helps eliminate cellulite from the skin and tightens up a sagging portion of the skin.

Also, the Smartlipo™ procedure stimulates the production of collagen in the body, which helps rejuvenate the skin.

With barely any scarring and short downtime, body contouring is a minimally invasive, smart, laser-assisted lipolysis procedure that targets trouble spots like your abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs, and neck while permanently eliminating fat.

If your problem areas won’t respond to exercise and diet, Smartlipo™ provides dramatic improvements with greater results, minimal downtime, and less pain than traditional liposuction.

Who Are the Best Candidates for SmartLipo?

SmartLipo is ideal for those looking to target stubborn fat areas that haven’t budged despite a healthy lifestyle. The best candidates are typically:

  • Close to their ideal weight: Ideal candidates are within 10-20 pounds of their target weight and maintain a stable weight.
  • Healthy and active: Good overall health and a regular exercise routine help ensure better results and a smoother recovery.
  • Realistic expectations: Those who understand that SmartLipo is not a substitute for weight loss but a tool for contouring specific areas.
  • Stubborn fat areas: Individuals with localized fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, or back that are resistant to diet and exercise.
  • No major health issues: Candidates should be free from conditions that might affect their ability to heal or undergo the procedure.

SmartLipo is all about refining and sculpting, so if you’re ready to enhance your body’s contours and have realistic goals, this could be a great fit for you!

Let’s Get Started

What’s the First Step?

During your consultation, we will discuss any preparatory steps that may be necessary to facilitate the success of your procedure, but unlike other, more invasive treatments, your procedure preparation should be minimal.

What to Expect on the Day of SmartLipo Treatment

It is done under local anesthetic to minimize any possibility of discomfort. The laser liposuction fiber is inserted through a very small tube into your body, and the laser ruptures the fat cell membranes so that the fat cells are permanently destroyed. The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out. It is an in-office procedure that typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the number of areas to be treated and the size of the areas.

SmartLipo Recovery

Patients also enjoy a much quicker recovery with SmartLipo™, as the use of laser energy significantly decreases bruising and eliminates the need for large incisions. Most patients are able to return to work and other regular activities within just a few days, whereas traditional liposuction typically requires patients to spend about a week out of work.

In fact, recovery using SmartLipo™ is generally shorter than if traditional liposuction is done. Most patients are able to return to work and activities within a few days. However, you will need to wear compression garments for about a week following your treatment.

After your procedure, you may experience some minor bruising and swelling, and you may be required to wear a compression garment for about a week to help with the healing process. You’ll be able to return to your normal activities within a day or two, though, and for most patients, great results are achieved in just one Smartlipo™ treatment. Results can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over the next three to six months. Best of all, your results will be long-lasting since your fat cells are permanently destroyed in the treated area. However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
