Smart Lipo
The Latest Advancement in the Evolution of Liposuction

The physicians at Laser Lipo Center, a division of The Vein Doctor Medical Group, have treated dozens of patients in their Palm Desert and Newport Beach offices with a brand new, non-invasive procedure recently profiled on CBS News.

This procedure is designed to eliminate fat and make people skinnier, and what sets this treatment apart from traditional liposuction is that there is no surgery, no lengthy recovery period, or any of the many potential complications associated with established surgical procedures. Laser lipolysis, or SmartLipo, is quickly catching the attention of those who are frustrated with dieting but don't want to go under the knife in the name of beauty.

Liposuction has been among the top three most popular cosmetic surgical procedures performed throughout the United States since the year 2000, according to statistics provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Today more than ever, we all want to look and feel our best, and while diet and exercise are important for overall health, age and genetics often determine our individual body shape. Achieving the body image you want may very well be impossible without the help of a physician-performed fat removal procedure.

Smartlipo™ laser lipolysis is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure in which a laser fiber is inserted directly into a patient's subcutaneous fat cells, causing them to rupture or melt. The energy also coagulates tissue, inducing collagen retraction and tissue and skin tightening. The laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising than conventional liposuction. SmartLipo can be used to treat most problem areas, including the neck, back, thighs, arms, abdomen and love handles.

"We're seeing fantastic results," says Medical Director Sanford Greenberg, M.D. "The laser eliminates fat in the targeted area, and the fat doesn't come back. At the same time it tightens the skin so in the end you have a smooth, sculpted appearance."

SmartLipo laser lipolysis offers many advantages when compared to traditional liposuction. Patients undergoing the Smart-Lipo procedure are given simple local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia, so they remain awake and aware. There are no stitches or scarring as with liposuction, and the skin is tightened rather than left sagging, thus eliminating the need for additional corrective procedures, such as lifts or tucks. Downtime is about two days, and a compression garment is worn for two weeks, as compared to the roughly seven-day downtime and six-week need for a compression garment with the surgical procedure. The complication rate for SmarLipo is less than 1 percent, while traditional lipo runs a 10 percent risk and requires post surgical touchups as much as 20 percent of the time.

The procedure is not for everyone. SmartLipo works best on individuals needing to lose pockets of fat in specific areas often resistant to diet and exercise. A prospective patient should schedule a consultation appointment to discuss goals and expectations for SmartLipo, and to determine if they qualify as a candidate. A slimmer, more sculpted you is possible without invasive surgery. You can achieve your desired body image quickly and safely with Smart-Lipo, the latest advancement in the evolution of liposuction.
