• liver problems
• blood disorders
• kidney problems

Is the fat removal permanent?

The fat removal is semi-permanent. If the individual gains weight, the fat will come back in areas treated and not treated with the laser. Despite what the manufacturers and the doctors claim, there is no treatment which can permanently remove all the fat cells. The best way to rid of fat is to continue exercise and watch one's diet.

How is the procedure done?

The procedure is done in an office or clinic. Prior to the procedure, the fatty areas are marked and a local anesthetic is used to numb the area. The laser is a pen held device which is fired close to the skin. As soon as the laser is fired, the fat cells break up. The fluid release from the fat cells is drained away by the body's natural system (lymphatics). The laser also causes small blood vessels to coagulate (gel) immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding and swelling. The laser also affects the collagen in the skin which later causes the skin to tighten and shrink. Each session take about 30-45 mins.

What is the recovery like?

The majority of individuals have minimal bruising and are pain free. A pressure dressing or a compression is garment depending on the location of the treated area. The compression dressing or garment helps to decrease the swelling. The bruising disappears in 2-3 days and all individuals are able to resume their normal activities within 24 hours. The mild ache can be relieved with over the counter pain medications.

When do I see the results

Soon after the laser the treated area will appear tighter, compact and smaller. Within the next 6-8 weeks, the skin and surrounding area will remodel and adjust to the body contour. The remodeling is a gradual process and the best results are seen after 2 months.

How many sessions can one have?

It all depends on the area and location. Generally 1-3 sessions are more than adequate for most individuals. Repeat sessions are only done after an interval period of 3-6 months.

When can one return to work after Smart Lipo?

One can return to work within 24 hours.

Can Smart Lipo be used with liposuction?

Yes, SmartLipo is designed to treat small and harder to get areas of fat. After conventional surgical liposuction is done and if small amounts of remodeling are required, Smart Lipo is an excellent adjunct.
