- How it works
Smart Lipo (Laser-Assisted Lipolysis) is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser energy to remove fat from specific areas of the body. The laser energy melts the fat cells, causing them to liquify, and making them easier to remove by suction. The heat from the laser energy can also stimulate the production of collagen, which can also help to tighten the skin in the treated area. - The Process
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, which numbs the treatment area and reduces discomfort during the procedure. A small incision is made and the laser fiber is inserted into the fatty tissue. The treatment duration depends on the size of the treatment area. After Smart Lipo, dressings and compression garments may be applied to help reduce swelling and to promote healing. - Why we love it
