SmartLipo, Laser Assisted Liposuction in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC

SmartLipo Body Sculpting The Laser Assisted Liposuction Procedure (SmartLipo)

The SmartLipo fat reduction treatment received clearance from the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) in November 2006. The technique involves the use of a laser to rapidly dissolve the fat and tighten the surrounding skin almost anywhere on the body. The majority of individuals who receive SmartLipo treatment have minimal bruising and remain pain-free. After the procedure, depending on the area treated, a pressure dressing or a compression garment is worn for two to three weeks. All individuals are able to resume their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. NO GENERAL ANESTHESIA is needed.

With smoother results, fewer complications, and faster recovery, SmartLipo may be the reason liposuction is the number one surgical procedure in the United States. Atlantis Medical Wellness Center offers Smart Lipo in the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC area so you can try this revolutionary form of liposuction for yourself!

Before SmartLipo

In traditional liposuction (before laser assisted (ALA) liposuction and the tumescent anesthesia technique), larger incisions were made in the fatty areas for insertion of long cannulas (long hollow needles with holes at the end). The cannulas inserted through the skin were typically quite large compared to the cannula size options that can be used with SmartLipo. The traditional technique typically required general anesthesia, causing a longer recovery time and increased risk of blood loss or reaction to general anesthesia. Also, complications such as skin irregularities and infections were more frequently encountered with traditional liposuction.

After SmartLipo

With laser assisted liposuction and tumescent anesthesia, one or more small incisions about the size of a pen's tip are made, and less invasive micro-cannulas can be used. This allows for a more gradual, targeted and controlled removal of fat, enabling the surgeon to contour the area more effectively.

The laser assisted liposuction technique offers a long list of advantages over traditional liposuction:

Using local tumescent anesthesia instead of general anesthesia eliminates prolonged recovery, nausea, allergy risks and other general anesthesia related side effects.
Fine laser assisted liposuction techniques allow for skin tightening and smoother results.
The recovery time of laser assisted liposuction is shorter and there is less blood and fluid loss.
Use of antibacterial lidocaine may reduce the chance of infection.
The swelling or tumescence of the fatty deposits amplifies the targeted areas for liposuction, thus reducing the risk of a secondary procedure.
The new cannula design with tumescent liposuction reduces bruising and swelling after surgery.
Smaller incisions result in less scarring.
The average cost for SmartLipo treatment can be between $2000 and $8000 depending on how many areas need to be treated and the size of each area.
