Benefits of SmartLipo

Serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Chandler, Glendale and surrounding areas in Arizona

You may be wondering if SmartLipo is just another name for traditional liposuction, but the fact is, SmartLipo is a completely new and different liposuction technique. Not only does SmartLipo employ more advanced technology and new instruments to perform liposuction, it can also be used on smaller, more delicate areas of the body.

SmartLipo is a great new option for people who have wanted to have liposuction, but have been worried about the length of the procedure or the recovery time. Some of the benefits of the SmartLipo procedure include:

New Technology

In the past, liposuction was performed by injecting liquid into the surgery site, breaking up fat cells and then suctioning them away. With SmartLipo, a laser is used to safely rupture fat cells. Once this is accomplished, a smaller, more precise, cannula is used to remove the fat.

More Options

For people suffering from excess fat below the chin, around the neck, on the face, or behind the knees, SmartLipo is a great cosmetic surgery choice. With SmartLipo these delicate areas can be reshaped so that you are more confident in your appearance and happy about the way you look. Many people choose to have SmartLipo performed in conjunction with other procedures like tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or even mommy makeover.

Better Results

Not only does the laser technology used during the SmartLipo procedure safely rupture fat cells without injecting anything into the body, the laser also promotes the healing process. While rupturing fat cells, the laser also cauterizes blood vessels so that there is less bleeding and swelling after the procedure. The SmartLipo laser also stimulates collagen production so that the skin around the surgery site looks firmer and healthier.

Faster Recovery

A SmartLipo procedure only takes about an hour and is much less intensive and traumatic for the body than older versions of liposuction. This means recovery from the SmartLipo procedure is shorter and you feel less discomfort.

SmartLipo isn’t just for people wanting to eliminate love handles; it can also be used on the inner thighs, arms, and even the pubic mound.
