How does SmartLipo work?
The SmartLipo laser provokes the breaking up of the membranes of the adipose cells,
transforming them into an oily substance that is absorbed and eliminated in a natural
manner. The results give rise to a harmonious body shape in a short time, without the
secondary effects of more aggressive procedures.
SmartLipo offers the chance to carry out minimally invasive liposculpture
treatments (the cannulas have a diameter of only 1 mm), in a decidedly less traumatic
manner compared to traditional techniques.What are the
advantages of SmartLipo?
:: Reduced recovery times and less constrictive
bandaging
:: Reduced trauma compared to traditional methods
:: Reduced invasiveness
:: Possibility of treating areas up until now
considered as unsuitable for traditional liposuction
For example: the face, forearms,
upper part of the abdomen, and knees
:: Incentive for patients who are not willing to
consider day-hospital and an operating theatre
:: Minimum secondary post-operative effects
:: Minimum interference in the patient's social
life
What is the advantage of SmartLipo over traditional liposuction?
SmartLipo offers many advantages over traditional liposuction - the procedure can be
performed under local anaesthesia in a doctor's office rather than in operating theatre
under general anaesthesia. The degree if invasiveness is reduced resulting in a shorter
recovery time and with fewer side effects. The procedure has the added benefit of
tightening the skin as it destroys the fat cells. It can also be performed on areas, which
have previously been considered unsuitable for traditional liposuction, such as the face,
forearms, and upper part of the abdomen and knees.
How long does the
treatment take?
The length of the treatment depends on how many areas you've having treated, but can take
between one and two hours.
Which areas can it
tackle?
SmartLipo works best in small areas - double chin, turkey necks, hamster cheeks and jowls,
bingo wings, knees, saddlebags, enlarges breast tissues in men, etc. It is ideal for
people who are not excessively obese.
Are there any side
effects?
Although no surgical procedure is completely risk-free, SmartLipo is extremely safe.
Bruising and swelling is kept to a minimum.
How long will
it take to see results?
When the fat is left for the body to eliminate, the results are seen gradually over a
number of weeks, though it may take up to four months for the maximum effects to be seen.
This is because your body continues to process and naturally remove the released fat until
none is left.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal and one can resume normal activities almost immediately, although it
is best to avoid vigorous physical activity or sports for one to two weeks. It might be
necessary to wear an elasticated compression garment for about a week to help with
speeding up the elimination of the free fat. Any swelling and bruising is considerably
less than what would be expected with traditional liposuction.
