SmartLipo is the newest innovation in liposuction surgery. It is a method that offers the best results with less trauma and less downtime. It has a fast recovery time and the cost is competitive to other liposuction methods. SmartLipo uses laser technology to melt and liquefy fat. Because of the heat from the laser, it can also smooth and tighten skin which other methods of liposuction can not do. It can be used to treat smaller areas of fat, such as below the chin, or for larger areas of fat such as in the abdomen, flanks and thighs.

Smartlipo still requires the use of the tumescent technique. Tumescence is performed by instilling dilute solutions of lidocaine and epinephrine into the fatty areas to be treated. This fluid not only numbs the areas to be treated but also decreases any bleeding which can occur. With the use of tumescence and Smartlipo, some smaller fat removal procedures can be performed without a general anesthetic.

SmartLipo was the first laser to be approved by the FDA to be used for fat dissolution and removal with tumescent liposuction. Introduced in 2007, this laser technology utilizes a combination of 1064 and 1319 wave lengths to burst fat cells and coagulate blood vessels. The energy created by the laser increases internal tissue temperatures significantly which are monitored by a probe so that they do not get too high and burn tissues. It is this heat which is created that helps tighten skin from the underside during the procedure.
