Smart lipo: The term smart lipo is a commercially coined term. Usually it refers to the use of laser assistance to help liquefy and remove the fat. The ultimate result always depend on skill and experience of surgeon and not device. Using a laser with lipo can increase the risk of complications in inexperienced hands. Smart lipo has the potential to tighten lipo'd areas more than conventional lipo.

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.

Fat Reduction: SmartLipo is FDA approved laser assisted lipolysis. It's a method of liposuction that uses a laser to melt the fat before removing it. The benefits of SmartLipo over traditional liposuction include faster recovery, less post op pain, skin tightening and the use of local rather than general anesthesia.
