Advantages Of Selecting Smartlipo Procedures

Laser technology and health care has advanced so quickly over the past few years that the inclusion of a procedure to address fat was inevitable. In the past few years Smartlipo techniques have been perfected using laser equipment that has been built and perfected that addresses the specific needs of individuals with fat pockets in hard to reach areas.

An advantage of this method of fat removal is that the laser that is used encourages collagen to be increased in the areas that are being treated. This equipment and technique was thoroughly researched and tested before being granted approval for use in 2006 by the Food and Drug Administration.

Unlike the surgical incisions required for liposuction, Smartlipo requires a very small cut made over the area to be treated. After the laser is inserted it destroys fat cells with pinpoint accuracy. The cells become a residue that is naturally removed from the body without clinical requirements.

An advantage of Smartlipo is that the laser used encourages the development of collagen as it is being used. This greatly reduces any loose skin and give the area treated a tighter, toned appearance. The residue left from the fat cells is removed from the body naturally.

There are two methods for removing the oily substance that remains when the fat has been dissolved by the laser. Many times the residue is naturally eliminated from the body, however if a patient desires this residue can be removed at the time of the procedures. Removal of fat residue is accomplished using suction equipment. It should be noted however that whether the residue is eliminated naturally or manually, the healing time has been shown to be the same.

As the laser is addressing the fat cells of an area there is an added benefit. The laser emits a tremendous amount of heat with pinpoint accuracy. This heat cauterizes any small blood vessels that may be broken during the treatment at the same time it is dissolving the cells. This greatly reduces the incidence of bleeding or infection risk for the patient.

An appointment for treatment lasts less than one hour for most individuals. The healing process is relatively short, usually not over five days. An individual can have a treatment and return to work within a day in most cases. The minor after effects may include bruising and minor swelling. As the bruising and swelling diminish one will notice a change in their skin tone and it will appear much healthier.

The full benefits of Smartlipo may not be completely visible for some months following the procedure. However there will be small changes as the metabolism expels fat residue and the skin tightens. In some cases people return for follow-up treatment to address other areas that may be of concern.

Choosing to receive Smartlipo treatment provides a person with the opportunity to start fresh. This includes adhering to a healthier lifestyle and avoiding those foods that created the fat pockets originally. By doing this a person can maintain the results of the procedure much longer and enjoy the benefits of their treatment indefinitely.
