Smart LipoTM FAQs:
LaserBodySculptingSM, Laserlipolysis
The SmartlipoTM is the first laser
system designed for LaserBodySculptingSM and for the disruption
of fat cells. It is ideal for treating localized deposits of unwanted
fat, fat tissue irregularities and for coagulating tissue leading
to a tightening effect.
Smartlipo is ideal for treating small
areas of the face, neck, arms, male
breasts (gynecomastia), and other areas
of loose or lax skin (flabby skin).
How does the Smartlipo work?
Smartlipo laserlipolysis is a minimally
invasive surgical proce¬dure. The procedure disrupts the fat
cells , coagulates the underlying
vessels due to the hemostatic properties of the laser, resulting
in less bleeding, bruising,
trauma as well as less down time.
As an added benefit, the system promotes tissue and skin tightening.
The procedure is commonly performed
under local anesthesia. A laser fiber
is introduced through a handpiece and detachable cannula. The cannula is
then inserted through a 1
to 2 mm incision in the skin and
into fat pockets. The cannula, with the tip of the fiber exposed approximately
2 mm, is then moved in
a “back and forth” fanning motion. The laser’s
aiming beam can be visualized through the skin, allowing the physician
to identify the treat¬ment area. As the fiber tip comes in contact
with the fat cells it ruptures the cell membranes and releases the
fatty oil from the fat cells. This end product may then be aspirated
from the site.
What are the benefits of Smartlipo?
- Treats unwanted fat and fat tissue irregularities
- Promotes skin tissue tightening
- Treats flabby or lax skin
- Minimal edema and bleeding due to the laser?s properties
- Minimal bruising
- Causes less trauma and faster healing time than traditional liposuction
What type of system is used?
The Smartlipo is an Nd:YAG laser with
high peak power and a high rep rate
of 40 Hz. The laser energy is delivered using a 300 micron fiber
which is threaded through
the handpiece and cannula.
Does this procedure have FDA Clearance?
The Smartlipo has been cleared by the FDA for laser-assisted lipolysis.
Who can use the Smartlipo?
Currently, only physicians who have previous liposuction ex¬perience are able to purchase the Smartlipo laser.
Does laser-assisted lipolysis produce lasting results?
Yes! The Smartlipo procedure permanently destroys the treated fat cells. Adults do not create new fat cells. When a person gains weight, that person?s fat cells simply expand. Should you gain weight, that fat will most likely be deposited in areas where the procedure was not performed.
Who is a good candidate for the procedure?
Ideal candidates are in good health, close to normal body weight and have realistic expectations for the results. If the person has areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exer¬cise, then that person is a candidate for laser-assisted lipolysis.
How many treatments are required?
For most patients, typically only one treatment is required. The session may last from 45 minutes to one hour for each area treated. Laserlipolysis is also an ideal choice for ?touch ups? and revisions. Call MSH today for more information about the Smartlipo procedure in Houston.
