It is the latest technological breakthrough in fat reduction.
It is a technique that removes fat deposits in specified areas of the body.
Using a laser system which breaks down the membranes of
the fat cells, the fats are eliminated by the body using natural processes.
It is a minimally invasive treatment which helps the body to re-model and gives rise to a
more harmonious body shape over a short period.
What is Smart Laser Lipo?
It makes use of a laser that acts directly on the fat cells by destroying the membrane and releasing
fatty and oily deposits. The laser pulses are released through an optic fibre that is inserted through a
thin cannula into the fat layer of the skin.
How does it work?
Each session includes treatment to both sides of the body.
A single session for one area of the body will take approximately 1½ hours,
including setup and aftercare. Additional areas take up to 1/2 hour each.
Sessions take a little longer when suction is included.
How long does a treatment take?
Patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately. In some cases patients may even
return to work on the day of the treatment! It is advisable to avoid strenuous sports for ten days
although light exercise is acceptable. Intense massage is not recommended for 4 weeks.
Compared to other more invasive procedures, such as liposuction, Laser Lipolysis is much less
traumatic and it coagulates any small blood vessels as it goes along, thus reducing any bruising or
swelling.
Recovery period / After effects
Improvements in the outline, regularity and tone of the skin can be expected to appear gradually.
Results start to become visible within days, especially if aspiration (suction) has been opted for. On
average, the final contouring effects become most apparent in about 3-4 months.
When aspiration is used, between 50% and 75% of the liquid fat is removed at the time of the
procedure. There is however, still some fat left behind which will absorb naturally over 3-4 months.
Aspiration speeds up the rate at which you see a result. Some practitioners believe that with
aspiration the final results tend to be better.
When will I get to see results?
Fat cells are permanently destroyed through the laser system and the fats are eliminated in a natural
manner. The effect is long term - the fat cells cannot grow again. Of course, the benefits would
become less noticeable if weight is gained after the treatment. The treatment cannot prevent
weight gain or the accumulation of fat deposits in other areas of the body. If we consume more
calories then we need, then our body has to store it somewhere. But if the body weight remains
Aspiration speeds up the rate at which you see a result. Some practitioners believe that with
Smart Laser Lipo is a very effective treatment but, like any weight loss program, a sensible diet and
lifestyle is necessary to maintain condition and shape.
How long does it last?
In most cases one treatment will achieve the desired effect. If substantial amounts of fat are to be
removed, a stepped program is advised to allow for gradual reshaping. Fat can be reduced in almost
any part of the body. The number of treatments needed much depends on the amount of fat to be
removed, and the number of areas of the body to be treated. It should be remembered, however,
that Laser Lipolysis (SmartLipo) is not a way of losing weight and it is not recommended for people
who are significantly overweight. Think of it as a way of sculpting your body shape rather than of
making it weigh less.
How many treatments will I need?
If further reduction is desired on the same area, more treatment can be carried out 4 months after
the initial session. If treatment is required on a different area, it can begin two weeks after a
previous treatment.
What if I want more treatment?
In the majority of cases there are no significant side effects. Occasionally, however, there may be
mild discomfort, temporary bruising, or mild swelling or reddening of the skin around the area of
treatment. Loosened or slack skin is rarely a problem, as in most people the skin naturally tightens
after the fat is removed; in addition as part of the treatment the laser is used to stimulate collagen and
tighten the skin.
Are there any side or after effects?
Smart Laser Lipolysis is minimally invasive and is administered under a local anaesthetic. There may
be a sensation of tugging and some minor discomfort briefly whilst the local anaesthetic is being administered.
Does it hurt?
Less anaesthetic is used, the procedure is safer and the patient will experience less discomfort and
bruising after the treatment. The recovery period is much shorter. Laser Lipolysis also causes the
overlying skin to contract more fully, giving a better final appearance.
What are its advantages over the regular liposuction?
Much less than you may think!
