Laser body sculpting is a revolutionary and minimally invasive treatment that does something no amount of exercising can: destroys fat cells permanently. Your body can enlarge existing fat cells but cannot produce new ones. Laser body sculpting is also known as laser-assisted lipolysis and is performed using the Smartlipo laser made by Cynosure. The procedure is performed using a one millimeter tube inserted directly under the skin. A laser fiber inside the tube applies intense energy to the fat cells causing them to rupture and drain away as liquid. Tissues in the surrounding areas coagulate which reduces blood loss and leads to tighter skin.
Laser body sculpting using the Smartlipo system is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, breasts-especially in men, “bra fat”, abdomen, “love handles”, “saddle bags”, inner and outer thighs and buttocks. Smartlipo is meant for those areas on your body that do not respond to diet and exercise. The ideal candidate is in good health with a normal body weight.
is performed in the office under local anesthesia. Although some minor bruising can occur you’ll be able to return to work within a couple of days and resume exercise and/or swimming after 2 weeks. One treatment is required typically and results can be seen within a week with continued improvement over 3 to 6 months. A compression garment may be worn for a short period after the treatment depending on the body area treated.
