Smartlipo treatments can remove unwanted fat in a single treatment with minimal downtime and less pain than traditional liposuction.
Smartlipo body contouring is a minimally invasive, laser-assisted lipolysis procedure that targets trouble spots like the abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs, and neck, and permanently eliminates fat. The treatment delivers energy underneath the skin, so not only do you melt fat, but also tighten skin1 to achieve the shape you desire.
How does it work?
The Smartlipo treatment is designed exclusively to perform laser-assisted lipolysis, commonly referred to as laser liposuction. Three wavelengths provide targeted treatments to disrupt fat; coagulate blood vessels and stimulate collagen which helps to tighten skin and improve elasticity.
The Smartlipo procedure are conducted in-office and uses local anesthesia to numb only a specific area of the body being treated, so you are awake during the treatment.
• A very thin tube containing the Smartlipo laser fiber is inserted in targeted fatty areas through a small incision.
• The laser fiber delivers thermal energy directly to fat cells and disrupts the fatty tissue for easy removal.
• The laser literally melts the fat, which is removed with gentle suction. At the same time, tissue around the area tightens through coagulation, contributing to a smoother shape overall.
Treatment plans can be adjusted to fit everyone’s lifestyle – speak to your provider regarding desired downtime, comfort, and results.*

¹Through coagulation of soft tissue.
For most patients, desired results are achieved with one treatment. And, most procedures are done within 1-2 hours.
These minimally-invasive procedures are performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime. Some bruising may occur post-treatment but patients are typically able to return to normal activities within a day or two.
The best candidates for these treatments are women and men who are not significantly overweight but have accumulated fat deposits such as love handles, flabby upper arms, excess neck or facial fat, or fat on the lower torso. Consult with a provider to learn more.
While you’ll see some immediate results, you’ll see continued improvement over three to six months.
