Laser Liposuction

Laser Liposuction Procedure

Smartlipo™ – Laserlipolysis

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 dermal collagen and often works as well as a traditional liposuction technique in the chin area. Smartlipo™ also helps tighten the skin through laser-induced collagen stimulation after removing the fat.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction

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.
