Laser Liposuction
What is Laser Liposuction? Smart Lipo also known as Laser Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that combines traditional liposuction with a laser technology to both remove fat and tighten skin.
Because the laser results in more efficient removal of fat, permitting use of smaller instruments, the Smart Lipo aka Laser Lipo can be performed in our NJ office under local anesthesia. There is also reduced bruising, swelling and downtime.
The addition of laser to liposuction also allows us to tighten and reshape your skin while removing fat deposits, resulting in slimming and improvement in your body's contour and proportion.
The laser works by both disrupting fat cells and delivering heat to the skin, which causes collagen remodeling and skin tightening. Results of liposuction are apparent as soon as swelling improves. Results of skin tightening can be seen in about 3-6 months.
