The treatment is part of the currently fashionable trend of minimally invasive and safe beautification methods. For the first time in Poland, patients will be able to use it at the IQ Medica Plastic Surgery Center, which wants to be a pioneer in introducing the latest solutions in the field of plastic surgery andaesthetic medicineto the Polish market.Smart Lipois an innovative and safe technique designed specifically to remove excess body fat through the selective action of laser radiation on fat cells. It enables the harmonious sculpting of body contours and the loss of unnecessary centimeters in areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise, as well as modeling facial features. What's more, it helps fight cellulite - a persistent cosmetic defect that even young and slim women struggle with. The laser energy visibly improves the condition of saggy and uneven skin, making it firmer and smoother. The advantage of this technique is low invasiveness, and thus significantly reducing the burden on the patient both during and after the procedure. It is therefore an excellent solution for people who are afraid of serious surgical intervention. It does not require general anesthesia or hospitalization, and in addition, it allows you to return to work and normal lifestyle after just 2 days. Convalescence is quick and without major ailments. Smart Lipo can be used alone or in combination with liposuction, depending on the needs of a given person. However, it should be emphasized that this is not a method of treating obesity (just like liposuction is not), so people who are very overweight should lose unnecessary kilograms before the procedure.
What does the SmartLipo treatment give you?
It allows you to get rid of fat that is particularly resistant to diets and exercise in places such as:
- face, neck, cheeks - the possibility of modeling the shape of the face, elimination of the double chin, chubby cheeks, etc.
- arms
- belly
- chest (removal of gynecomastia in men)
- waist (possible slimming by 2 to 8 cm!), Hips
- back
- buttocks
- thigh
- knees
- calves and ankles
It is a precise and gentle method, good for patients who prefer to undergo less invasive procedures than major surgery such as liposuction. It is of great importance that the Smart Lipo laser allows you to improve the appearance of certain parts of the body (including the face, neck, chin) and places where the skin is saggy - areas that have so far caused problems for doctors and patients, because they were suitable for liposuction. For all women, the great advantage of this technique is that it improves skin tone and texture.
Who is eligible for the SmartLipo treatment:
- people in good he alth
- with locally accumulated uneven adipose tissue
- best non-smokers
- with normal body weight (slight tolerances - but not more than 25% of their ideal weight, being overweight cannot be ruled out
- realistic expectations (the method will not change the skeleton and muscles)
- any age (15-80 years)
Before the procedure: blood and urine tests are necessary, vitamin C is recommended for a few days. You must not drink or eat for 6 hours before the operation.
Description of the SmartLipo treatment:
The doctor marks the areas of locally accumulated fat that are to be treated with a special marker. Then he uses infiltration anesthesia, i.e. with a very thin needle, he introduces a solution of lidocaine and adrenaline into the body, which, in addition to the power of anesthesia, also has the properties of constricting blood vessels, thanks to which bleeding during the operation is inhibited. Once the anesthesia is operational, the surgeon turns on the laser and inserts a tiny cannula that penetrates selected areas, destroying unwanted fat. Fat is destroyed inside the tissue itself thanks to the laser energy and there is no need to suck it off afterwards. The fat cells are converted into an oily emulsion which is then absorbed by the body and excreted naturally from the body.
Buttocks: 60-80 ml on each side (laser operating time: 14 min)
Hips: 100 ml on each side (10 min)
Knee: 50 ml (8 min) )
Shoulder: 60-80 ml (12 mins)
Abdomen: 80-100 ml (7 mins per side)
Neck: 50 ml (4 mins) Other areas: 8 minutes
Effects: The body contours improve day after day, the silhouette becomes slimmer, harmonious, the skin is firmer and taut. Final results are permanent and visible after 1-2months. Once broken down, fat cells cannot multiply again. If a person gains weight again, the fat will be deposited in other parts of the body, not in the difficult and resistant parts from which it has been removed.
After SmartLipo treatment:
Flexible dressing to be worn for 4-5 days
Short antibiotic treatment (to minimize the risk of infection)
Gentle massage indicated after 10-12 days
Swelling disappears gradually within a few weeks (depending on the size of the area), and bruises usually within 2 weeks. Thanks to infiltration anesthesia, irritations and ailments are so small that they can usually be relieved by mild painkillers. The day after the procedure, patients should begin to move, which will improve their well-being. Return to work and normal life activities is possible after 2 - 4 days. After a week, you can do light exercise, but you should refrain from strenuous exercise for up to 2 weeks.
SmartLipo versus liposuction (laser advantages)
- slight invasiveness of the procedure
- light burden for the patient
- local anesthesia (instead of general anesthesia)
- no hospitalization
- quick and easy recovery
- the possibility of performing the treatment in areas of the body that so far could not be subjected to traditional methods, such as: face, forearms, upper abdomen, knees
- minimal blood loss (simultaneous coagulation of blood vessels), less swelling and bruising
- possibility of multiple repetition
- improving the appearance of the skin - restoring the skin's surface homogeneity, increasing the tension of sagging skin (with liposuction the risk of unevenness and dimples)
- cellulite elimination
- possibility of avoiding liposuction (spontaneous excretion from the body)
- no scars
- permanent and visible effects (once damaged fat cells will not rebuild in the same place)
- safety - complications such as haematomas, fatty blockages, infections, allergic reactions are extremely rare
Device:
Specific features of the new generation Nd: YAG laser:
- Very short pulses (from 100 to 200 µs)
- Very high peak power (up to 1.5kW)
- Signaling of the position of the working tip under the skin with the red light of the targeting laser
The energy of high concentration emitted in a very short pulse is absorbed in the cell membrane of adipocytes (expanded fat cells). This causes not only a thermal effect in it,but also thermomechanical. As a result, the cell membrane is ruptured and its contents released. The thermal side effects in the tissue caused by laser emission are minimal. The tissue exposed to the laser has the possibility of cooling down, because the duration of the pulse is a negligible part of the time period between the pulses.
