Before the SmartLipo procedure, Dr. Orseck will mark the targeted fatty areas and confirm each one with you. Local anesthetic will be applied to each area to minimize discomfort.

SmartLipo uses a 1064-nm Nd: YAG laser that is inserted in the skin through a tiny cannula (tube) and delivered directly to the targeted area. The laser energy simultaneously melts fat cells and coagulates skin tissue, removing stubborn fat and tightening the surrounding skin for slimmed, smoothed results. The melted fat can either be suctioned out or absorbed into the bloodstream.

Dr. Orseck will be able to treat your targeted area(s) by viewing the laser through the skin to ensure accurate delivery. The laser energy also causes small blood vessels to coagulate as fat is melted, resulting in less bleeding and faster healing and recovery times. There is no need for stitches after the SmartLipo procedure because only a tiny incision is needed.

The results of SmartLipo are visible immediately after the procedure and will continue to improve for up to three months. Along with removing localized fat, SmartLipo also tightens and smooths the skin, leaving a slimmer and younger-looking result. Traditional liposuction often leaves skin loose and sagging, leaving many patients seeking additional treatment.

These results can be permanent as long as patients maintain their healthy weight through diet and exercise. Most patients can reach their desired results with just one SmartLipo treatment. However, if you decide to undergo further treatment, you can do so after four months.
