Advantages Of Selecting Smartlipo Procedures

One of the problems with liposuction is that it is a surgical procedure that often has a long recovery period. This is not true of Smartlipo which employs the use of sensitive laser technology. The lasers used for this procedure have been developed for the purpose of addressing fat pockets in specific areas of the body.

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.

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.

The length of a standard procedure is about one hour followed by a short period of recovery which may involve bruising, swelling, or numbness in the area treated. This normally lasts only a few days to a week. The skin in the area that has been treated will appear more tighter and firmer as soon as the bruising and swelling subsides. This is only a matter of a few days. The recovery time for Smartlipo is much shorter than for standard liposuction because the procedure is much less stressful on the body. Most people are able to return to work with 24-hours of having the procedure done with minimal discomfort.

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.

While the procedure will remove fat pockets effectively an individual must maintain a proper diet and exercise program to keep the fat from returning. In some cases individual continue an unhealthy lifestyle after treatment which results in a build-up of fat in those areas where it was removed.
