Skin Tightening with SMARTLipo Laser Liposuction
Skin tightening with SMARTLipo is a unique benefit that is achieved through thermal heating and tissue coagulation, something traditional liposuction cannot do. This allows men and women with loose skin - who previously were not ideal candidates for liposuction - to have a body contouring treatment with the added benefit of skin tightening.
Pittsburgh SMARTLipo Body Contouring and Skin Tightening Treatment
SMARTLipo body contouring and skin tightening is performed as a simple outpatient treatment in The Skin Center Medical Spa's accredited surgical facility located in Mt. Lebanon, PA. Dr. Dominic Brandy, board-certified cosmetic surgeon, will insert a paperclip-thin probe, approximately 1-2mm in diameter containing a laser fiber, beneath the fat removal area. The probe is moved back and forth delivering the laser's energy to the fat cells, causing the fat cells to rupture and liquefy. The liquefied fat it is easily drained or absorbed through the body's lymphatic system where it's flushed naturally from the body.
For most people, typically only one treatment is required. The session may last from 45 minutes to one hour for each liposuction area. Results are seen immediately with continued improvement over several weeks. Because SMARTLipo recovery is generally well tolerated by most individuals, it is often referred to as "lunchtime liposuction".
SMARTLipo laser liposuction for body contouring and skin tightening can be performed alone or in conjunction with other types of cosmetic surgery procedures such as:

Cost of SMARTLipo Laser Liposuction in Pittsburgh, PA
The cost of SMARTLipo laser liposuction depends upon multiple factors such as the number of fat reduction areas being treated and if the laser liposuction surgery is being combined with other body contouring procedures.

At The Skin Center Medical Spa in Pittsburgh, PA, we approach SMARTLipo laser liposuction consultations from a patient-centered process; discussing in-depth the patients' SMARTLipo goals, expectations and motivations for wanting to have liposuction.

SMARTLipo Laser Liposuction Recovery
After the SMARTLipo ™ Laser Liposuction treatment you may experience mild swelling and bruising. For SMARTLipo recovery, we recommend 1-2 days without vigorous activity but most patients are able to return to work immediately depending on their occupation. A compression garment, or liposuction garment, can be worn if SMARTLipo laser liposuction is used for fat removal on larger areas of the body.

FAQ's: Pittsburgh SMARTLipo Body Contouring
Who is a good candidate for SMARTLipo body contouring?
Ideal SMARTLipo body contouring candidates are in good health, of normal body weight and have realistic expectations for fat removal and skin tightening. SMARTLipo body contouring is best for people who have pockets of fat that seem to be resistant to diet and exercise.
Are SMARTLipo results long lasting?
Yes. Adults do not "regenerate" new fat cells. Fat cells are permanently removed during a SMARTLipo Laser Liposuction treatment. Afterwards, if people gain weight, most fat will be deposited in other areas of the body.
Are there alternate body contouring treatments?
A number body contouring alternatives are available, however, SMARTLipo laser liposuction and conventional liposuction surgery are the only methods of fat removal that permanently remove fat cells from the body. Less invasive fat removal and body contouring treatments include:
