During laser liposuction, a single probe containing a low energy laser fiber is introduced to the targeted fat deposit of the body through a small cannula.
The energy of the laser destroys fat cells and then drains it away without causing any side effects on the surrounding body tissue.
Besides eliminating fat, laser liposuction tightens the skin, eliminates skin sagginess and also gives a youthful firmness to the body.
The whole laser liposuction process is performed under local anesthesia, and requires about an hour to burn fat in each targeted area.
Smartlipo laser liposuction is clean, practically painless and results in minimal scarring.
As Smartlipo requires only a short recovery time, patients can return to work and do their normal activities in a day or two.
Benefits The reason Smartlipo is so much in demand nowadays is because it helps in changing a person's looks by reversing aging effects.
It also helps in getting rid of all that stubborn fat which diet and exercise fails to burn.
While Smartlipo is usually used for treating small and localized fat deposits, it is possible to remove a maximum of eight pounds of fat through the procedure.
If required, it is also possible to carry out Smartlipo along with traditional liposuction.

In fact, with the help of the right doctor, the possibility of any side effects occurring at all is considerably reduced.
