There are many good reasons for all the buzz around Smartlipo. Its laser-tipped cannula, only about the size of a pencil lead, represents a significant advance in the field of body contouring. Smartlipo is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for “laser-assisted lipolysis.” What exactly does this mean? Well, for starters, Smartlipo is not actually a liposuction technique.
While liposuction breaks up fat and then removes it, Smartlipo gently dissolves the fat cells using laser energy but leaves them in the body to be harmlessly absorbed. The advantage? By using a tiny laser and leaving liquefied fat to be removed by your body naturally, the Smartlipo device is smaller and less invasive, making treatment of small, localized areas of fat possible with minimal downtime.
Whether you’re smoothing out a little lump or two or tailoring the results of a large-volume liposuction procedure at our Los Angeles practice, Smartlipo can work wonders. During the treatment, the small cannula is inserted into the fat deposit and slowly moved back and forth as the laser energy is transmitted, dissolving fat cells while leaving surrounding cells intact. This laser energy also heats the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging collagen to shrink and tighten, and causes small blood vessels to coagulate, minimizing bleeding, swelling, and bruising.

Even people who require larger volume fat removal still can benefit from the innovations Smartlipo offers. Smartlipo can be used to complement or tailor the results of a more extensive liposuction procedure in Los Angeles, such as power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and ultrasonic liposuction (UAL). It’s a perfect solution for fine-tuning liposuction results.
