With SmartLipo, patients may experience: A quick return to normal activities, including work Minimal downtime Adjoining skin surfaces may heal tighter and smoother

Doctor Carreon states, "With laser-assisted SmartLipo using local anesthesia, my patients are able to return to normal activities, such as work, with minimal downtime.”

Dr. Carreon was performs using the SmartLipo TriPlex system. Smart Lipo, from Cynosure. Smart Lipo Laser Body Sculpting is minimally invasive.  It can both destroy fat cells and coagulate tissue, which may help to result in tighter and firmer skin.

SmartLipo can be used for treating different areas of the body, by melting the fat, Smart Lipo can coagulate and help in tightening the tissue as well as inducing collagen production. “No matter how strict some of my patients’ diet and how rigorous they are about exercise, many people cannot eliminate localized areas of fat, such as around the abdomen or on the upper regions of the arms,” explains Dr. Carreon. “With this laser-assisted SmartLipo system, patients can achieve results using laser-assisted lipolysis.”

Results may vary.

Laser Body Sculpting can help eliminate areas of unwanted fat. Below are answers to common patient questions.

How does Laser BodySculpting work?
This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted into the skin. A laser fiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, which can cause them to rupture and drain away as liquid. Simultaneously, tissue around the area can coagulate, which may help to result in tighter skin tissue.

What areas of the body can be treated?
Laser BodySculpting can be used on the neck, jawline, arms, "bra fat," abdomen, "love handles," "saddle bags," inner and outer thighs and knees.

Am I a candidate?
Laser BodySculpting is meant for areas that may not respond to diet or exercise. The ideal candidate is in good health and of normal body weight.

Is there a recovery period?
Laser BodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure which can be performed using local anesthesia. Some trauma will occur, but you may be able to return to work in as little as a couple of days and resume exercise after 2 weeks.

How many treatments are required?
Typically only one treatment is required. Results may be seen within a week, with continued improvement over three to six months. A compression garment should be worn for a short period after treatment, depending on the body area treated.
