Laserlipolysis is a new-generation procedure which enables to treat cellulite and body adiposities through the laser’s ability to dissolve or liquefy redundant body fat with heat. Laser-assisted liposculpture deals successfully with problem areas of high fibrous content, or delicate due to their extremely thin fat layer, which are very difficult to treat by traditional methods. It also achieves a skin retraction we would not achieve through other procedures.

THE PROCEDURE
Laserlipolysis is carried out basically according to the same principles as traditional liposculpture, but adds some unique features that make it different. The technique of tumescent infiltration normally used to prepare the fat by laser is hot, approximately at 105 F (40C), which allows a higher and faster emulsion of subcutaneous fat, as the area is heated up by the Nd: YAG laser radiation.
Once the hot tumescent infiltration has been made, we insert the probe, 300-600 µ of optic fiber that conducts the laser’s energy by means of a very thin cannula of 1 mm diameter and we sweep the whole area with the probe in order to dissolve the body fat.
NEW LIPO TECHNIQUE
Laser-assisted liposculpture is a new technique. Most probably in a few years it will set the trend for body and face remodeling, as it is safe, efficient, predictable and easy to recover from. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that is still a kind of surgery and must be performed meeting all requisites of a good medical practice.
PLANNING YOUR Liposcultpure SURGERY
At the clinic, your surgeon will evaluate your adipose deposits, the quality of your skin and your cellulite levels. He will also explain to you the different methods of body modeling.
Be honest with your surgeon and let him/her know your expectations. You must tell him/her recent weight gains and losses, whether you smoke or if you are taking any medication, vitamin or even drugs.
WHERE DOES THE OPERATION TAKE PLACE?
Laser assisted-liposculpture (Laserlipolysis) is usually performed in an operations room at a clinic or a hospital, under local or regional anesthesia, in an ambulatory fashion, or in some cases a night at the centre may be necessary.
THE SmartLipo SURGERY
Time required may vary from one operation to another, depending on the amount of fat to extract.
To begin with the procedure, physiological serum is administered along with anesthesia and adrenaline (as a vasoconstrictor) in the area to treat. The serum will be at more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37 C) to facilitate the liquefying of the fat. Then a very thin cannula led by an optical probe along with the laser terminal is inserted into the fat through a small incision of 1 mm. The laser energy produces a breaking of the adipose cell, thus freeing the fat from its deposit. The liquefied fat gets mixed with the injected serum forming an emulsion that is removed from the body through an extraction cannula (liposuction).
