Leg Liposuction: The #1 Source of Leg Liposuction info on the NET!

The newest and hottest technology to hit the liposution industry is Laser Assisted liposuction - AKA “SmartLipo”.  The SmartLipo process was approved by the FDA in late 2006.  What makes this system unique you may ask.  This patented technology utilizes the heat emitting light of the laser to literally melt fat before it is sucked away by traditional vacuuming through the cannula. This contrasts to more traditional methods where the fat is cut using the sharp blade of the cannula.

A side benefit of the laser is that the heat generated also causes the surrounding tissues to quickly coagulate which can speed up healing time and minimize any bruising.  SmartLipo works best in smaller targeted areas such as the legs.  Choose your SmartLipo surgeon carefully as this procedure has not been around long enough to determine if there are any long term effects.  Sounds like this will be a great benefit to the industry.  Be sure and ask for references from patients who have utilized this new process.
