SmartLipo™ in San Diego
SmartLipo™ laser liposuction targets fat cells in areas of the body that do not usually respond well to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, neck, and male chest. Depending on the needs of each San Diego laser liposuction patient, treatment is performed under general or local anesthesia. During the procedure, a tiny tube containing a laser fiber is inserted through a small incision. The energy from the laser dissolves the fat deposits so that they can be easily suctioned out. The heat from the laser then seals the blood vessels, reducing the bruising and swelling typically associated with traditional liposuction. The heat from the laser also helps tighten the skin, delivering a better result than traditional liposuction.
Other advanced liposuction techniques, including power-assisted and tumescent liposuction, can be performed in conjunction with SmartLipo™ at our La Jolla-based center in San Diego. Whether performed on its own, or combined with another treatment method such as Cellulaze in La Jolla, SmartLipo™ can provide excellent results for patients who desire slimmer, shapelier body contours.
