Is laser liposuction safe?

It is a very safe procedure but it is not risk free. Make sure that your physician has the propper background and training and that the facility when the procedure is being performed meet propper guidelines. Tip: If your physician is board certified by the board of plastic surgery or dermatology and the facility is clean and has the necessary equipment for emergenicies you are less likely to have trouble.

Should I have Slim Lipo or Zerona to reduce my tummy?

This question comes up quite often now that I have both Slim Lipo and Zerona technologies avaialble.

Slim Lipo uses a fat melting specific 924 laser to disslove the fat cells and is followed by liposuction to remove the liquified material. Slim Lipo results in permanent removal of fat cells improving body contours. Slim Lipo also tightens the skin at the same time using the 975 laser. Slim Lipo equals permanent fat removal and tightening.

Zerona is a non-invasive level 3 laser ( cold laser) that makes the fat cell membrane temporarily more porous and allows the fat to leave the cell. Zerona treatments result in a “flattening out” of the fat cell and loss of inches from the waist, hips and thighs. Zerona laser is “semi-permanent” and the results will last as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.


Why SlimLipo is the best technology for laser assisted liposuction

Slim lipo is the best technology available today for laser assisted liposuction because it is based upon a fat melting 924 wavelength laser. In fact it is the only laser on the market today that actually melts fat. Not only does this laser make the procedure less invasive and reduces the recovery time to 1-2 days but it helps to tighten the skin in the area as well. The results are truly amazing when you compare the effectiveness of this treatment to any other laser assisted procedure. The best way to find out if this is for you is to come in for a consultation.

Get the Best results from Slim Lipo

I like to use combination therapy to get the best results with body contouring using the Slim Lipo Laser Liposuction method. For instance I will use Slim Lipo along with power assisted liposuction in order to remove more fat. Slim Lipo of the abdomen often requires three passes with the laser to get the best results. Slim Lipo will melt the fat cells, permanently removes these cells and tightens the skin.

In some cases I will recommend a diet progran that will preceed having the Slim Lipo procedure. This is especially helpful in cases where weight loss is an essential part of the overall goal. I like the meal replacement program advocated by the Center for Medical Weight Loss. I have seen fabulous results with this combination.

For those individuals who would rather have a non-surgical alternative we have the Zerona laser that will help shrink the fat cell and result in “semi-permanent” loss of inches. This procedure also works much better in conjunction with the weight loss program. Zerona can also be used in conjunction with Slim Lip to enhance the results.


Slim Lipo vs. Smart Lipo: Which is better?

Both use a laser to assist with the liposuction procedure.

Smart Lipo has been around for three years and has been modified numerous times to improve the results. It uses a 1064 wavelength laser that is attracted to water and indirectly melts fat because of the heat generated. It’s great for skin tightening.

Slim Lipo is a newer technology and has a fat specific wavelength( 924) that aids in melting fat. It also results in skin tightening.

Bottom line: they both work and your result will depend more upon the skill of your surgeon than the technology used.


Zerona Laser: Does it take the place of Slimlipo?

The Zerona laser is a new FDA approved technology that can help slim your waist,hips and thighs without surgery. It uses a low level laser that targets the cell mmembrane of the fat cell causing the cell to release fat. The procedure is totally painless and requires six treatments over a two week period. Results can be enhanced by drinking water, using a supplement called Curva and doing moderate exercise.
While it is not as permanent and drastic a change as you can get with Slim Lipo, the results can be quite impressive. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the key to success with any of these treatments.
