About Smart Lipo
Who would have thought that lasers can be used in melting away fat? This is the case with Smartlipo, or Smart Lipo, an innovative procedure used in the removal of excess body fat while also tightening aging skin. The main tools used are medical-grade laser equipment and small cannulas while a qualified surgeon performs the procedure; the professional fees are included in the Smart Lipo cost.
The Procedure Explained in Brief
In the Smartlipo procedure, your doctor will insert a tiny probe or cannula with a low-energy laser fiber into the targeted fat deposit. You will not feel pain from the insertion into your skin because of the local anesthetic injection beforehand. You will also not feel pain although a slight discomfort after the procedure will likely be experienced, especially in the insertion site.
Your doctor then manipulates the probe so that the laser beam can destroy (i.e., melt) the fat cells before these are drained away. The procedure can last for an hour or less depending on the size and amount of fat cells in the targeted area. You and your doctor will discuss which areas of the body will be targeted, which can be the face and neck or the abdomen and thighs.
The liquefied fat will then be removed via the cannula, too. But in areas with thinner layers of fat, such as the neck and face, the cannula may be unnecessary as your doctor will let your body eliminate the liquefied fat naturally.
The Smartlipo procedure may be minimally invasive but it can deliver on maximum results! Even when it’s used in the elimination of fat in small and localized areas, it can be used in the removal of up to eight pounds of fat. If necessary, nonetheless, it may also be used along with traditional liposuction under certain conditions.
This is also isn’t considered as a weight loss procedure although it can reduce the amount of fat in the body. Every patient who undergoes the Smartlipo procedure should adopt the healthy diet, exercise and lifestyle habits trio to keep excess fat away.
The Cost and Benefits of the Procedure
Patients spend approximately $5,000 on average on a Smartlipo treatment. But your actual bill will be influenced by several factors, such as the size and location of the treatment area, as well as the number of sessions required to achieve the best results. For example, a chin liposuction will be more affordable than an abdominal liposuction.
When considering the cost of Smartlipo, you should compare it with the benefits of the procedure. First, it requires less incisions than traditional liposuction so there are lesser scars and shorter recovery time. You don’t have to deal with the side effects associated with traditional liposuction, as well as get back to your normal activities sooner.
Second, it can aid in a more beautiful appearance via a slimmer and leaner body, as well as a smoother and suppler skin. This is because Smartlipo has a dual effect – eliminate the fat and cellulite while also tightening the skin.
As for the still-expensive Smartlipo cost because it isn’t covered by insurance, you should look into financing options like credit card, personal loans, and savings.
