How is Smart Lipo Different From Traditional Liposuction?
Smart Lipo utlizes a cannula that is smaller than the cannula used in traditional liposuction. The laser in the Smart Lipo cannula liquifies fat making it easier to remove. The laser also coagulates the blood vessels immediately on contact to reduce bleeding. This results in less swelling, bleeding, and bruising allowing a quicker recovery and reduced risk. Local anesthesia is used instead of general anesthesia. Pateints avoid risk and the groggy washed out feeling often associated with general anesthesia.
