If you have a little excess fat which will not go away no matter how much you exercise then you may be thinking of having Liposuction. There is now a new a new type of fat removal which may be more appropriate for you. SmartLipo is less invasive and less painful than traditional Liposuction. It also helps the skin to tighten and so reduces the chance of sagging or wrinkles.
The new technology uses a laser to destroy fat cells so that they melt away and can be easily removed or the body can expel then naturally. This is less traumatic for the surrounding cells than previous procedures. SmartLipo is done on small areas under a local anesthetic with a tiny optical fibre. As the procedure is less traumatic and the equipment is so small the technology can be used on small areas such as the chin, knees, calves and upper arms.
As well as removing fat the laser helps to tighten skin so that immediately after the surgery it will be in shape around the area. This is possible because the laser stimulates collagen production in the area which tightens the skin. There will be further tightening for a few months after the surgery but the immediate results are usually impressive.
The recovery time for this treatment is very quick. This is because the procedure does little damage to the areas around where the fat was removed. There can be a little swelling and bruising but this only usually lasts a few days. Most patients are back at work in a couple of days.
There are always risks with surgical procedures but the risks associated with this procedure are relatively small. There is a chance of infection but the risk is low especially in reputable clinics. There have also been cases where the results were uneven making the area treated asymmetrical.
If you look into SmartLipo you will see that there are some important benefits. Having tight skin around the treated area is a consideration for everyone.
