Smartlipo - Laser Liposuction
You've tried dieting! You've tried exercise! But parts
of your body have simply refused to change. Now you have the
option to laser the fat away with Smartlipo - the
laser alternative!
As the premier physician to offer Smartlipo in
North Dallas, Dr. John R. Gilmore agrees
that laser body sculpting is a revolutionary, minimally invasive
treatment that does what no fitness routine in the world can – it
melts those stubborn pockets of fat and tightens the skin.
Smartlipo is the
first FDA approved laser that vaporizes fat by using by using a tiny
laser tip probe that dissolves fat without the need to perform painful
suctioning. The procedure is easier than you realize and is
usually performed under local anesthesia (Tumescent technique).
A small cannula (tube), approximately 1.0mm to
2.0 mm in diameter, is inserted through small puncture incisions to
reach and thermally heat and rupture the fat cells. The liquid
fat can be absorbed by the body’s lymphatic system or it can be suctioned
from the incision site. Skin tightening is achieved due to the surrounding
tissue being heated which promotes collagen growth. The skin
tightening effects continue to improve anywhere from 3 months to
1 year after your procedure. Because of laser use,
small blood vessels coagulate immediately on contact, resulting in
less bleeding, swelling and bruising and a quicker recovery time.
No stitches are required and therefore virtually no unsightly scars. Smartlipo can
sculpt fat bulges in your tummy area, thighs, bra bulges, double
chin’s, upper-arms and unsightly cellulite. Normal activities
can be resumed within a few days after the treatment.
Smartlipo is ideally suited for individuals
wanting to loose “vanity pounds”. It is not recommended for
those individuals wanting to loose large amounts of fat. Dr.
Gilmore recommends a healthy lifestyle with diet changes and exercise.
To maintain your result, it is also recommended that you exercise
and eat a healthy diet after your Smartlipo procedure.
