Laser Liposuction is a procedure targeted at lower eyelid bags and chins. It works by denaturing fat, which the body then absorbs. It is less invasive than traditional liposuction. One of the most common areas addressed with Laser Liposuction is removing the of double chins.
Laser Liposuction is designed to address the following:
Lower Eyelid Bags
Chin Fat Reduction
Double Chin Removal & Reduction
Smartlipo™ at Prefacè Cosmetic is used to enable the removal of excess skin in lower eyelid bags, underneath the chin area. The fat is left to absorb over a period of time or can be removed immediately (liposuction). Laser liposuction can be combined with the iNeedle thread technique to tighten the chin area and provide chin reduction. Smartlipo™ can also be combined with collagen stimulating techniques such as Thermage, eTwo Sublime and Pellevé.
An Innovation That Has Revolutionised Liposculpture
Laserlipolysis is indicated for treating localised fat deposits in specific body zones. It is even possible to treat the more delicate areas for which traditional liposuction is not normally recommended, such as lower eyelids, cheeks & double-chins.
Smartlipo™ stimulates the dermal collagen, and particularly works well as a traditional liposuction technique in the chin area. As Smartlipo™ tightens the skin induced by the laser after removing the fat. Other collagen stimulating treatments such as Thermage, eTwo Sublime and Pellevé could be suggested during individual skin consultation.
The photomechanical action of the laser can be assisted by low-pressure aspiration through a special microcannula with a diameter of only 3mm. The fat is removed immediately without any trauma or lesions. This procedure is particularly suitable when removing larger volumes in patients.
