Many NYC plastic surgery practices offer laser liposuction to help men and women get rid of stubborn localized deposits of fat and achieve a slimmer, well-shaped body. The procedure is performed using the FDA-approved Smartlipo Triplex workstation. Laser lipolysis can improve any location that has unwanted fatty tissue and moderate skin laxity. These include the chin, upper arms, abdomen, back hips, inner thighs, outer thighs, knees, calves, and ankles. Patients who have had liposuction and want to address irregularities or uneven areas are also ideal candidates for the treatment. It is important to note that this is not a weight loss treatment or a substitute for healthy diet and exercise.
As with all surgical procedures, one question that prospective candidates ask is about the safety of the treatment. Several studies have documented the safety of laser lipolysis. This minimally invasive treatment is a safe and effective body contouring option provided you are the right candidate and a qualified surgeon performs the procedure.
At a reliable NYC plastic surgery practice, the surgeon will assess you carefully to make sure that you are the right candidate and also educate you about the treatment and what it can achieve. The ideal candidate for laser lipolysis is thin and has isolated pockets of fat that can be removed. Those with too much fat are not likely to see impressive results. The right candidate is also healthy and has realistic expectations.
Smartlipo Triplex technology allows targeted fat reduction utilizing its three unique wavelengths. By customizing the wavelengths based on the treatment and patient type, the technique allows reliable and controlled energy delivery. Compared to traditional liposuction, bleeding and bruising are minimal. Performed under local anesthesia, it also offers benefits such as reduced procedural time and patient downtime.
This laser-assisted workstation is also designed to promote safe treatment. The ThermaView delivery system helps the surgeon to decide quickly when to move onto the next treatment area and when to stop treating. It allows the surgeon to precisely control energy application and achieve safer clinical results with greater efficiency.
Laser liposuction is safe and effective when you are in the right hands. So find a liposuction surgeon with adequate training, skills and experience in the treatment. Make sure that the procedure is performed in an AAAASF-accredited surgical suite.
