SmartLipo is Laser: Smartlipo is laser melting of fat. Numbing is required with local and or sedation. Skin pokes are necessary to pass the fiberoptic cables. Fat is melted, then suctioned out. Then another fiberoptic laser cable is passed to tighten up the bottom of the skin. Sterile dressings and a compression garment finish the procedure.
