Smartlipo Beaumont
Beaumont patients receive SmartLipo.
SmartLipo is the most advanced form of liposuction in the Beaumont area.
What is SmartLipo™ ?
SmartLipo is the first and only laser lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary procedure for the removal of fat for Beaumont residents. Using a high-powered laser, Smartlipo is a new LaserBodySculptingSM procedure with less downtime and side-effects. Beaumont residents can experience dramatic results though this minimally invasive procedure.
How does Smart Lipo work?
A very small cannula (tube) approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter containing a laser fiber is inserted through the patient’s skin and into the fat layer. The cannula is moved back and forth delivering the laser’s energy directly to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and easily drain away. The laser energy also interacts with the dermis, resulting in collagen shrinkage.
Due to the cannula’s small size, Beaumont patients receiving SmartLipo can be placed under local anesthesia. The laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising – and a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction. Because general anesthesia is unnecessary, the SmartLipo procedures performed by Dr Bergeron for people who live in Beaumont are very safe, with only minimal side effects.
What body regions can be treated with Smartlipo?
SmartLipo is ideal for treating the unwanted fat of the abdomen, flanks/love handles, chin/neck, upper arms, male breasts (gynecomastia), thighs and knees. Beaumont patients who are treated with SmartLipo may experience improvement in the body’s shape and cellulite to a certain degree.
Who is a candidate for the SmartLipo™ Laser liposuction procedure in Beaumont?
If you have areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise, then you’re a candidate for SmartLipo. Beaumont patients who receive SmartLipo are in good health, and have realistic expectations for the results.
How many treatments of SmartLipo will I need?
For most patients living in Beaumont, typically only one SmartLipo treatment is required. The SmartLipo session may last from 45 minutes to one hour for each area treated.
Do I have to do anything post-treatment?
After the SmartLipo treatment you will need to wear a compression garment for several days to several weeks, depending on the body area being treated. Rest is recommended after the procedure and activity may be resumed gradually. Refrain from hot tubs or strenuous exercise for 2 weeks. However, SmartLipo does not require the downtime needed for traditional liposuction nor does SmartLipo cause as much discomfort. For Beaumont patients, SmartLipo is quicker than any other methods of liposuction.
When can I expect to see results after a SmartLipo treatment?
For some Beaumont patients, SmartLipo can be seen as soon as a week with continued improvement over several months.
Does Smart Lipo provide lasting results?
Yes! When a Beaumont resident gains weight, the fat cells expand, the SmartLipo procedure permanently removes the fat cells. Should you gain weight, most fat will be deposited in areas where the procedure was not performed.
