SmartLipo or laser lipolysis is a method used in removal of undesirable fat deposits. It shapes your body. The laser beam promotes the breaking up of the fat cells that are eliminated in a natural manner from the body. Without large bleeding, without pain and incapacity for work.
How does laser liposuction – SmartLipo work?
A very small cannula (tube) approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter containing a laser fiber is inserted into the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth delivering the laser’s energy directly to the subcutaneous fat cells, causing them to rupture and easily drain away. The laser energy also interacts with the dermis, resulting in collagen shrinkage.
Liquid fat tissue is left usually without suction in case of very tiny parts. It is gradually absorbed due to natural metabolism. In case of larger treated areas it is necessary to gently suck the fat tissue dissolved through laser. Most of the modern clinics world-wide use technique of vibration liposuction.
Due to the cannula’s small size, Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure and can be performed under local anesthesia. The laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising – and a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction.
Worries about the safety of the laser should be quelled – the laser can easily differentiate between fat cells and other tissues including nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. The places of laser beam insertion into the subcutis are not sewn, they are only treated with plaster. They almost disappear step by step.

Rest is recommended after the procedure and activity may be resumed gradually. Refrain from hot tubs or strenuous exercise for 2 weeks. Most people go back to work after two days.
