Advantages Of Selecting Smartlipo Procedures
Smartlipo is a new, advanced method of removing fat from specific areas of the body. The method involves the use of highly sensitive laser technology that has been designed and built specifically for this purpose.
An advantage of this method of fat removal is that the laser that is used encourages collagen to be increased in the areas that are being treated. This equipment and technique was thoroughly researched and tested before being granted approval for use in 2006 by the Food and Drug Administration.
The laser used for the procedure emits heat which dissolves fat cells within the focused area of treatment. This is not a painful procedure and requires only a local anesthetic and a small incision through which the laser is introduced. As the laser melts the fat cells they form a residue which can be up to 3500ml during a single appointment.
An advantage of Smartlipo is that the laser used encourages the development of collagen as it is being used. This greatly reduces any loose skin and give the area treated a tighter, toned appearance. The residue left from the fat cells is removed from the body naturally.
In some cases individuals wish to have the residue of the laser treatment removed immediately during the procedure. This is done using a suction machine which is designed to accommodate the small incision made for the laser. Doctors who perform the procedure have agreed however that manual removal of the residue does not increase the rate of recovery following treatment.
As the laser is addressing the fat cells of an area there is an added benefit. The laser emits a tremendous amount of heat with pinpoint accuracy. This heat cauterizes any small blood vessels that may be broken during the treatment at the same time it is dissolving the cells. This greatly reduces the incidence of bleeding or infection risk for the patient.
When discussing treatment with the physician an individual will be informed of all of the treatment plan and what they can expect after the procedure is completed. In most cases the time needed for healing is minimal. Individuals are able to return to their regular activities within a day and suffer minimal discomfort. There are normally some visual changes in the body right after treatment which include skin that is firm and healthy looking in the area that has been addressed.
In most cases the full benefit of Smartlipo treatment does not appear for up to two months. The changes occur visibly as the residue is expelled from the body which will depend on the metabolism of the individual. Some individuals choose to return after several months for follow-up treatment to address areas that may need further procedural action.
Choosing to receive Smartlipo treatment provides a person with the opportunity to start fresh. This includes adhering to a healthier lifestyle and avoiding those foods that created the fat pockets originally. By doing this a person can maintain the results of the procedure much longer and enjoy the benefits of their treatment indefinitely.
