Laser Liposuction

Laser Liposuction

Laser Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that denatures fat, which the body then absorbs through natural means. It is much less invasive than traditional liposuction

Prèface Cosmetic offers Smartlipo™ to enable the removal of excess fat in lower eyelid bags, underneath the jowls and chin area. The fat is left to absorb naturally over a period of time or can be removed immediately (liposuction). Laser liposuction is often combined with iNeedle thread technique to tighten the chin area and provide chin reduction. Smartlipo™ can also be combined with collagen tightening techniques such as Thermage, eTwo Sublime and Pellevé.

Laser Liposuction is a procedure performed in Dr Hollenbach’s rooms usually done with local anaesthesia and sedation.

Involved downtime – One week.

Laser Liposuction is designed to address the following:

Laserlipolysis: An Innovation That Has Revolutionised Liposculpture

Laserlipolysis is indicated for treating localised fat deposits in specific body zones and is extremely effective in areas where diet and physical exercise fail to produce positive results. 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.

Since it has a shrinking effect, while also stimulating the dermal collagen, Smartlipo™ greatly reduces flabby skin. This particularly works well as a traditional liposuction technique in the chin area because there is natural tightening of the skin induced by the laser after removing the fat. Techniques such as Thermage and other collagen stimulating treatments will further enhance skin tightening.

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 3 mm. The fat is removed immediately without any trauma or lesions. This procedure is particularly suitable when removing larger volumes in patients who want immediate results.

“The Smartlipo has been my greatest ally for years. Laserlipolysis created new and important opportunities for my patients. This is the most innovative and safest technique for anyone who wants to permanently change targeted body areas by removing excess fat and reducing flabbiness while improving skin tone. Now especially, laserlipolysis enables me to give patients what they really want: minimally invasive treatments with very short recovery times. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and patients can immediately return to their daily activities thereafter. Over the years, the safety, versatility, and special features of the Smartlipo system have enabled me to explore new areas of application, experimenting, for example, the reduction of bags under eyes and the reabsorption of filler granulomas.”
