More Patients Turning To Smartlipo

Tired of those muffin tops? Did you add some pudge to that already pudgy tummy this holiday season? Are you sick of carrying around those saddle bags? Maybe it's time for a change and to erase some of that stubborn fat for good.

Although traditional liposuction is still available, a lot of people are considering a newer procedure known asSmartlipobody sculpting. Designed and refined by Cynosure, a leading name in laser surgery,Smartlipois less invasive, and targets the parts of the body that you want to change.And unlike traditional liposuction,Smartlipotakes less recovery time.

The procedure is simple. Using sophisticated laser technology,Smartlipomelts away fat cells while coagulating the blood in vessels, and simultaneously tightening the skin in the targeted area. Not only is it effective, it's safer because only local anesthetic is needed and the patient is awake the whole time.The method also reduces common side effects associated with traditional liposuction, such as bleeding, bruising and swelling. So it is much easier on the body; which means the average patient can bounce back more quickly.

A 2006 study published by the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery stated Smartlipo provides “excellent patient tolerance, quick recovery time, as well as the benefit of dermal tightening through coagulation.” In addition, aClinics in Plastic Surgerystudy published by Dr. Alberto Goldman and Dr. Robert Gotkin in 2009 summarized, “By reducing blood loss, minimizing both aesthetic side effects and complications, and by promoting improvements in skin contraction, laser-assisted [Smartlipo] has proven itself to be safer and more effective.”

Typically, only one treatment is required dependent on the number of areas to be treated. Results may vary, but usually can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over three to six months.

Although originally developed in Europe,Smartlipowas approved in the United States in 2006. Because it's been shown to be safe and effective, a lot of people are turning to this procedure instead of the more invasive operations.

If you've tried everything; diet, exercise and weight loss products, and you still have those annoying areas of fat,thinkSmartlipo. In the hands of a skilled physician it can help you achieve the body you've always wanted.
