Liposuction California

LaserBodySculpting (laser liposuction) can eliminate areas of unwanted fat and tone your entire body. Below are answers to some of the most common patient questions.

How does LaserBodySculpting work?
This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted into the skin. A laser fiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away as liquid. Simultaneously, tissue around the area coagulates, resulting in overall tighter skin tissue.

What areas of the body can be treated?
Smartlipo LaserbodySculpting is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, breasts, "bra fat,"abdomen, "love handles," "saddle bags," inner and outer thighs and knees.

Am I a candidate?
Smartlipo LaserbodySculpting is meant for areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. The perfect candidate is in good health and of normal body weight.

How does Smartlipo LaserbodySculpting compare to conventional liposuction?
Conventional liposuction is meant to remove greater amounts of fat. However, since this can leave behind unsightly pockets of skin, laser assisted lipolysis is often a perfect complement.

Is there a recovery period?
Smartlipo LaserbodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light trauma can occur, but you'll be able to return to work in a couple of days and resume exercise after 2 weeks.

How many treatments are required?
Typically only one treatment is required. Results can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over three to six months. A compression garment may be worn for a short period after treatment, depending on the body area treated.
