SmartLipo Laser Liposuction

Traditional Liposuction

SmartLipo vs. Traditional Liposuction

Local anesthesia

General anesthesia

Our unique laser liposuction technique uses local anesthesia which is much safer than general anesthesia.

Affordable

More expensive

Since we use local anesthesia for our SmartLipo patients, the costly fees associated with general anesthesia are eliminated.

Laser technology with small cannula

Usually uses a large cannula

The SmartLipo laser completely destroys fat cells, liquefying them and then removing them permanently with a small cannula while traditional liposuction usually uses a large cannula to remove solid particles of fat cells, leaving pieces of damaged fat cells behind.

Tightens skin

Leaves loose skin

Due to the heat generated by the laser beam, SmartLipo stimulates the collagen in the skin to contract which results in tightened skin after the procedure. Traditional lipo does not tighten the skin in any way. Thus, when fat and inches are removed, loose skin results.

Fixes loose skin

Cannot improve skin laxity

If a patient already has loose skin due to weight loss or pregnancy, the SmartLipo laser can tighten the skin because it uses laser technology which tightens collagen under the skin. Traditional lipo cannot improve the condition of sagging skin.

Less blood loss

More blood loss

SmartLipo targets ONLY the fat cells, leaving blood vessels alone. This results in fewer broken blood vessels and very little bleeding during the procedure. Traditional lipo is physically damaging to the surrounding tissues and leads to more blood loss.

Less bruising

More bruising

Since SmartLipo does not damage the surrounding blood vessels in the fatty layer, there is far less post-operative bruising than with traditional lipo.

Recovery in 1-2 days

Recovery can take a week or more

Due to the laser technology, the SmartLipo laser does not break blood vessels or damage nerves. This results in a faster healing time with less discomfort so patients can get back to their routine in a matter of days, not weeks.
