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.
