Laser liposuction is a new method, devised to be advantageous over the traditional methods of liposuction. Besides, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approve it. Laser is a concentrated light beam, having one particular frequency, which is employed to pump out huge energy of that specific range. The traditional method of liposuction uses the method of mechanical liposuction for the breaking down of fat cells, which is then suctioned out of the body. But this often results in pain, bruising and swelling, due to the nerves and blood vessels getting caught, during the process of suction.

Smart Lipo Laser Liposuction
Cynosure developed Smart Lipo or laser-assisted liposuction, which is a laser device for lipolysis. Smart Lipo is laser liposuction that can target to withdraw fat deposits that are troublesome to displace. Laser liposuction is actually a procedure that is minimally invasive, but can cause some bruising. Prior to the surgery, a mild sedative or local anesthesia is given to the area targeted.

Laser, an extremely fine fiber is placed gently inside the fat, which is methodically and slowly melted. For this, a tiny incision is made into which, the flexible cannula made of optic fiber of size 1 mm is inserted. The laser beam, using its power move past your skin, abandoning all cells that are healthy and focuses only on the fat. There is a visible small red light to illuminate that area, so that it is visible to the surgeon for firing the laser. Its laser tip heats up the fat to which it comes in contact, to rupture them. After their break-up, the surgeon withdraws an oily-substance. The melted fat is either sucked out or else the body will absorb it.

Patients can observe the fast results when these are being displaced. The left over liquid fat is sucked up by the patient’s body and then released through the patient’s lymphatic system. Laser liposuction is good for mainly smaller areas. Hence laser liposuction can be used to quickly remove excess fat from face, neck, as well as arms, but is not that good for back, abdomen and thighs. If the liposuction procedure is brief, it can be over by about half an hour, as it is quick. But if the quantity of fat to be removed is bigger, then the laser liposuction can last for two hours. Laser liposuction costs starts from $2000. The average liposuction price can be around $3000 - $4000. The Smart Lipo prices vary with different countries, area treated and the hospital in which it is done.

Advantages Of Laser Liposuction
Requires only local anesthesia while liposuction need general anesthesia.
Minimal scarring
Less bruising and fewer risks.
Patients can leave hospital almost immediately – about one hour after the surgical procedure.
Extremely small downtime. – Able to recover and start your routine work, within one or two days unlike traditional liposuction, which takes some weeks normally.
Works faster
Tissue tightening
Removed fat will not mostly come back.
Virtually painless – Some patients feel mild discomfort.
