What is SmartLipo?
Even with a strict, regulated diet and exercise program, some patients
are just unable to address certain areas of stubborn fat deposits. The
stomach and the thighs are often two of the areas most complained about
by patients who are trying to improve their health and appearance with
diet and exercise. No matter how many sit-ups and squats a patient may
do, they may still find that there are portions of the body where the
fat and unwanted contours just don’t budge. Thanks to advances in
technology, patients can now address these areas with the use of
SmartLipo. Walnut Creek dermatologist, Dr. Lee of The Skin and Laser
Treatment Institute provides SmartLipo for patients who are appropriate
candidates for this treatment.
SmartLipo is a procedure that has been used for several
years, and obtained FDA approval in 2006 as a safe and effective way of
removing unwanted fat deposits from areas of the body. Unlike
traditional liposuction procedures, which can result in higher risks and
longer downtime, SmartLipo can provide a less invasive way for patients
to target areas of the body that are troublesome. SmartLipo can give
patients better body contours and make them feel better about the way
they look.
SmartLipo requires the use of local anesthetic instead of
generalized anesthesia, and most patients return to their regular
routine in just a few days. SmartLipo also reduces the amount of
bleeding, bruising, and discomfort that a patient may experience had
they undergone traditional liposuction. Laser devices such as SmartLipo
are very precise and can allow Dr. Lee to provide the best in body
contouring.
Dr. Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute is proud
to offer SmartLipo, along with other cosmetic procedures that can help
patients feel better about the way they look, while improving their
overall confidence and self-esteem.
If you are within 25 pounds of your ideal weight and
