Smartlipo, Overview

Smartlipo (Laser lipolysis) is an innovative advanced laser fat melting technique proposed for the removal of excess fatty tissue in those areas of the body that are usually resistant to diet and physical exercise.
Many of us have those obstinate areas of fat deposits that just will not go away, it doesn not matter how much we diet or how much exercise we do. It could be your tummy, jawline/jowl, back and underarms, hips, knees or any other area of fat deposits, laser liposuction with the use of Smartlipo could be the answer. Our reduced Smartlipo prices starts from 1200 Pounds. For more information on Smartlipo, please click on each of below questions.
 

• Advantages of Smartlipo by Laser lipolysis or laser liposuction over traditional liposuction:

  • Smart lipo is a less invasive procedure, Smartlipo was termed by the media as "lunch-time liposuction".
  • Using Smartlipo for fat removal is a straightforward and safe procedure.
  • Smartlipo virtually has no major side-effects.
  • Faster recovery after using smartlipo liposculpture.
  • Smartlipo is less traumatic than traditional liposuction, because Smartlipo uses micro-cannulae.
  • Laser liposuction or Smartlipo gives a smoother contour of the overlying skin.
  • Smartlipo might cause collagen formation and tightening of the skin.
  • Smartlipo can be safely carried out under local anaesthesia.
  • Liposmart or smartlipo can be repeated, if required.
  • Smartlipo costs less than traditional liposuction procedure.
     

• How does Smartlipo work?

  Safe laser pulses from Smartlipo laser machine will destroy fat cells by using a fine cannula (about 2mm diameter). Research has revealed that laser melt fat by heat. The high temperature at the tip of laser firing beam melts fat. Most of the Melted fat by Smartlipo is aspirated out of the body by a liposuction pump to promote recovery and enhance early and better final results. However, small amount of the remaining melted fat by Smartlipo will finally be absorbed by the lymphatic system in the body and then naturally disposed of by the liver and kidney. Simultaneously, Smartlipo seals-off minor blood vessels during the lipolysis procedure and it is thought, in the longer-term, Smartlipo leads to production of collagen and supporting tissues to tighen skin, in order to gain a sculptured and smooth finish. Therefore, smartlipo laser beam melts fat cells and there are some evidence that smartlipo leads to collagen formation which leads onto some skin contraction and tightening. This process takes several months after the smartlipo procedure.

• Am I suitable for Smartlipo lipo?

  Smartlipo is a less invasive procedure compared with the traditional liposuction in terms of damage to the tissues. At the launch and introduction of Smartlipo in 2006 Smartlipo was promoted aggressively but working with Smartlipo (laser assisted liposuction) for the last few years, our experience suggest that Smartlipo has not fulfiled our expectation and some of our patients, as it was claimed by the presenting company. Therefore, nowadays, we select our client carefully and only small area of fat depost we offer Smartlipo because, with experience, we have found out that Vaser lipo is more suitable for our clients with much better results. However, during your intial consultation we will be able to supply you information and help you if Smartlipo, Vaser lipo or Body Water-jet is the best option for your problem.

• What should I expect when I come for a Smartlipo procedure in your clinic?

  We carry out the smartlipo procedure under aseptic conditions in a clean environment to minimise and prevent any possible risk of infection. At our Doctors Makeover, our Cosmetic Surgery Day Surgery Unit, on your arrival you will be checked and the team meet you before the procedure. You will be asked to change into a gown and after cleansing the skin under aseptic and sterlile conditions, we will numb the area and then using the Smartlipo to melt the fat. We use a vacumn pump to aspirate and withdraw the melted fat as much as we can.

• Does Smartlipo only tighten skin?

  Yes, it is known that any damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissues might lead to some skin tighening. Therefore, there will be some skin retraction and skin tightening in almost all types of liposuction such as Vaser lipo and Body Water-jet lipo. Our experience suggests that Vaser lipo and Smartlipo result in a very similar skin tightening , although we have not carried out a formal study on this subject. However, it is thought that during Smart lipo heat generated by the firing laser beam (estimated to be around 430 C) might also stimulate skin collagen formation but the process of skin tightening usually takes several months or even up to a year to be completed.

• Does Smartlipo give permanent effects?

  Yes, it does. It is known that the number of fat cells after puberty is usually constant in our body but each fat cell enlarge or shrink as we gain or lose weight during our life. Procedures such as Smartlipo, Vaser lipo, Body Water-jet will destroy fat cells which are permantently removed from the fatty tissues and the body. However, one should have a good lifestyle by regular exercise and a healthy diet. Otherwise gaining weight could be a problem despite the fact proportionally one expect less enlargement of fat deposits at the treated area. It is also worth mentioning that recently there has been some evidence that vigorous dieting and then gaining weight after such a severe diet might lead to the increase in the overall number of fat cells in the body. It is worthwhile to add that although healthy diet plays an important part in our health and well-being prolonged "high protein deit" has also been linked to early onset brain shrinkage, memory loss and even dementia.

• How many Smartlipo treatments will I require?

  For localized small deposits of fat just one session of Smartlipo. For larger areas of fat volume the procedure can be repeated. During Smartlipo procedure, we use a traditional liposuction pump to aspirate the melted fat from a larger area to enhance results. At our cosmetic surgery unit (Doctors Makeover), during your consultation, we will advise you on the best course of action. As other minimally invasive methods of fat removal, such as Vaser lipo and Body Water-jet, is proving to be more powerful and effective we might advise you to consider an alternative method such as Vaser liposuction instead of Smartlipo.

• How long does Smartlipo Procedure take?

  Approximately between an hour or two for each area to be treated by Smartlipo. At our smartlipo London clinic we use a single session to treat one, two or three areas. For example, lower abdomen, 'love handles' and jawline would be three areas. Theefore, the duration of time you spend in our clinic depends on the number of areas and amount of fat deposit in each area to be treated by Smartlipo.

• What are the possible side-effects of Smartlipo?

  At the time of the launch of Smartlipo a few years ago, it was thought that Smartlipo was set to make changes in liposculpture as we knew it at the time of Smartlipo launch. We were one of the first clinics in the United Kingdom to offer Smartlipo treatment to our clients, because we were aware that Smartlipo was not only minimally invasive, but Smartlipo was safer and far less extreme than traditional liposuction. Therefore, we thought the relatively low level of side-effects such as discomfort or minor bruising might well justify Smartlipo use. It was also thought the heat generated by the laser firing beam will tighten skin but burns might be a problem and careful monitoring would lead to better Smartlipo treatment final results. We also noticed that some patients can return to work immediately after the Smartlipo treatment and we thought that by using laser liposuction or Smartlipo, there is less chance of infection compared with the traditional liposuction under similar conditions. However, after using Smartlipo for a few years it is clear that Smartlipo did not fulfil our expectation and we are now mainly using Vaser lipo and Body Water-jet with much better results in our clinic . However, we still use Smartlipo for small areas of fat deposits in our cosmetic surgery clinic, Doctors Makeover which has already been registered as a provider for Surgical Procedures or Day Case Surgery Unit with the Healthcare Commission/Case Quality Commission.

• Is Smartlipo safe?

  Yes, Smartlipo has been in use for several years and Smartlipo has proven a safe procedure. At Doctors Makeover we were one of the first groups of clinics to carry out Smartlipo procedure in the UK.

• Does Smartlipo hurt?

  At our cosmetic surgery unit we use local asaesthesia and the procedure is painless because we now only use Smartlipo for small areaa of fat deposits, we are also able to offer sedation. When sedation is being used, the anasaethetist induces a light sleep but you will be fully conscious and can go home on completion of your Smartlipo Procedure. However, pain and discomfort are subjective feelings which depends on age, sex, ethnic background, previous experience and other factors. During and after Smartlipo Procedure many clients describe the procedure as a comfortable experience and we will also do our best to make your Smartlipo or Smart lipo treatment a pleasant experience for you. However, occasionlly, the patient might experience some unpleasant feelings and twinges of pain, particularly when the fat is vacuumed by a powerful vacuum pump, therefore, now, we routinely offer the services of an anaesthetist who will be able to use sedative medications to counter act any anxiety and pain during the Smartlipo Procedure.

• Am I in safe hands?

  Yes, our trained doctors are membesr of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (MRCS) and/or Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS). Our doctors were among the first groups of doctors who has been fully trained to use Smartlipo in the United Kingdom. At the moment, Mr Assad Bangash, specialist plastic surgeon and other specialist plastic surgeons are carrying out cosmetic procedures at our clinic which has been visited by the Healthcare Commission/Care Quality Commission, the regulatory body to oversee the standard of medical care in the healthcare establishments in the United Kingdom. The Healthcare Commission/Care Quality Commission has already granted our cosmetic surgery clinic "Day Surgery Unit"  as a provider of "Surgical Procedures" in the UK . We continuously also monitor and improve our services. We always welcome any comments made by our clients.

• How much will Smartlipo cost me?

  Smart lipo or Smartlipo costs much less than traditional liposuction. The overall cost will depend on the area of treatment. At the moment, our reduced Smartlipo price will starts from approximately 1200 for the first area and then depending on the number of subsequent areas, the price proportionally will be much lower. For example, two areas can be treated as low as about 2000 and three areas can be treated as low as 2300 and so on. However, depending on the size of fat deposits we will give you a precise low cost price at the time of your consulation. Therefore, we will discuss costs during your initial consultation after your examination and answering your questions. Smartlipo is slightly cheaper than Vaser lipo and Body Water-jet and it is our advice that Smartlipo can be used for treating small area of fat deposits, one should consider Vaser lipo as an altertive to Smartlipo for areas such as abdomin and back. However, please also see Our Price commitment and 0% Finance.
