SmartLipo

Approved by the FDA as a fat removal and inch loss treatment, SmartLipo™ is one of the first forms of laser-based liposuction. In recent years, SmartLipo™ has become increasingly popular as both an alternative and complement to traditional Liposuction. Designed as a safe, quick, minimally invasive procedure, SmartLipo™ poses far fewer health risks and side effects than other forms of Liposuction, and it's an ideal solution for individuals who aren't obese, but simply wish to eliminate smaller, unwanted fat deposits from the thighs, hips, or buttocks. During a SmartLipo™ procedure, a tiny tube with an attached laser fiber is inserted below the skin. This laser then heats and liquifies fat cells, which are removed through the tube. Many treatments require no more than 30-45 minutes, and little recovery time is usually needed.
