The popularity of smart lipo has grown considerably over the past few years as the benefits of the fat removal procedure have become better known. Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions regarding smartlipo treatment.
What is Smart lipo?
Smartlipo (also known as laser lipolysis) is a fat removal procedure which has been approved by the FDA. It involves using a laser to melt down excess fat cells in the targeted region which are then removed by the body’s natural waste removal system. The
smart lipo laser is applied to the target body region through a small cannulae (small tube) which is inserted into the skin under local anaesthesia.
Is Smartlipo treatment safe?
Smart lipo is one of the safest fat removal procedures available today. Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure and is performed under local anaesthetic. The procedure is not painful and side effects such as bruising and swelling are minimal post smartlipo treatment.
How long will I have to take of work to have Smart lipo treatment?
Because smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure most people are actually able to return to work the next day. There are even reports of people returning to work straight after having smartlipo treatment. The actual time you have to take of work will depend on how extensive your smart lipo treatment is and how strenuous your job is. We recommend that at very minimum you take the rest of the day of work after having smartlipo treatment. The smart lipo procedure usually takes around 1-2 hours to perform.
Which areas of the body are suitable for smartlipo treatment?
Smartlipo can be used to remove excess fat from a wide range of areas of the body including the chin, cheeks, neck, knees, inner and outer thighs, hips, abdomen, and arms. It can also be used to remove excess breast tissue in men, i.e. to treat
gynecomastia. In general smartlipo works best when targeting small areas. It is not aimed at treating obesity and if extensive fat removal is required then liposuction should be considered as an alternative option.
