Smartlipo
Interstitial laser lipolysis or Smartlipo is one among a range of power-assisted liposuction techniques. It is a minimally invasive technique for removing localized subcutaneous fats. The Smartlipo laser bursts the membranes of the fat cells when it comes into contact with it. A fiber-optic laser delivers this laser under the skin.

Suction of Lysate
The fats are transformed into an oily sludge-like substance (lysate). A low-power suction pump is then used to suck out the lasered material out via a suction pump. This markedly accelerates recovery time.

Ideal areas for treatment

• Chubby cheeks

Advantages of Laser Lipolysis (Smartlipo)

a) Minimal downtime
- almost like a lunch-time liposuction, you can even return to work the next day although we advocate at least 2 days rest post-procedure

b) Minimal discomfort
- unlike traditional liposuction, the pain and bruising is much reduced

c) Less traumatic, almost normal skin
- the cannula used in laser lipolysis is much smaller than in traditional liposuction, the scar is almost not visible after a few months

d) Safety
- less anaesthetic drugs is used and less bleeding is expected in laser lipolysis, increasing the safety factor


Frequently asked questions

Who is a suitable candidate for laser lipolysis (Smartlipo)?
Smartlipo is ideal for anyone of a medium to a slightly large size who wants to contour his or her body. It can treat areas such as the face, chin, arms, waist, thighs and hips, too.

How long does the procedure take?
On average, the procedure takes 2-3 hours per session.

What is the long-term outcome like for most people?
Like traditional liposuction, you will need patience to see the final results. The full effects may not be evident for six months to a year. The more fat that you had removed, the longer it will take to achieve optimal results, because the skin has to adapt to a more radical change in shape.

Do I have to stay in the hospital?
Laser lipolysis (Smartlipo) is performed as an in-clinic procedure under local anaesthesia. You will not be required to stay in the hospital, recuperation is best done in the comforts of your home.
