SMARTLipo Facial Liposuction Treatment
SMARTLipo facial liposuction and skin tightening is performed as a simple outpatient treatment. A paperclip-thin probe, approximately 1-2mm in diameter containing a laser fiber, is inserted beneath the skin. 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 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 SMARTLipo facial liposuction treatment is required. The session may last from 45 minutes to one hour depending on the area treated. Results are seen immediately with continued improvement over several weeks.
SMARTLipo laser liposuction for facial liposuction and skin tightening can be performed alone or in conjunction with other types of cosmetic surgery procedures such as:
