Laser fat removal for Pleasant Hill area patients with SmartLipo
Both men and women often struggle with unwanted fat deposits on their
bodies. Many have found that regardless of how they ate or how much they
exercised, certain areas are very resistant to the reduction of fat.
Patients who are at their goal body weight, are in overall good health,
and are ready to address unwanted fat deposits may benefit from the
SmartLipo procedure, a laser fat removal service offered to patients in
the Pleasant Hill, East Bay, and Walnut Creek communities.
Dr. Christine Lee, of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute
is excited to offer SmartLipo as an alternative to traditional
liposuction. This procedure was FDA approved in 2006 and has helped
thousands of individuals in recontouring areas of the body that are
non-responsive to diet and exercise. Traditional liposuction uses a
large tube called a cannula to suck out fat from underneath the upper
layer of the skin. Liposuction is an invasive procedure that can
increase one’s risk for infection, bruising, discomfort, and extensive
downtime. Fortunately, patients can use SmartLipo as a way to avoid the
long recovery periods and risks associated with conventional surgical
methods.
SmartLipo uses a much smaller cannula that targets fat cells
with a laser instead of vacuuming the fat out. It requires just a few
incision points to insert the cannula and address fatty deposits. It is
more comfortable, and can be done under local anesthesia. Many patients
experience a day or two of downtime and are able to return to their
daily lifestyle and schedule without much interruption. This treatment
is desired by patients who have busy lives and are unable to take weeks
off of work and activities to recovery from invasive procedures.
If you are considering laser fat removal, now is the time to
talk to Dr. Christine Lee and her team at The Skin and Laser Treatment
Institute to schedule a consultation appointment and discuss the
advantages that SmartLipo has to offer over conventional fat removal
procedures. Learning the alternatives available can help in choosing a
solution that works best for your body, your desires, and your budget.
