Liposuction used to be considered a major cosmetic treatment involving anesthesia, recovery time and a lengthy healing process. Thanks to a nifty machine called Smartlipo, a slimmer physique can be had in about 20 minutes. Known also as laser lipolysis, Smartlipo uses a non-invasive lipo light to melt away inches. After applying a local anesthetic, the physician makes a tiny incision into the fat layer where he or she then inserts the lipo light. Heat from the laser is dispersed in wave-like patterns to melt the fat cells. Melted fat is then released into the bloodstream where it is processed by the liver, and finally expunged by the body as waste material.
Another significant between Smartlipo and traditional liposuction is that the Smartlipo laser actually seals of blood vessels as it goes so that patients face minimal post-op pain. Smartlipo also costs roughly the same amount as conventional liposuction even though the procedure is simpler and faster. But like they say, no pain no gain.
