How does LaserBodyScultping work?
This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed
using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted
into the skin. A laser fiber inside of the cannula delivers
energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture
and drain away as liquid. Simultaneously, tissue
around the area coagulates, resulting in overall
tighter skin tissue. Plese click here to view patient testimonials.
What areas of the body can be treated?
LaserBodySculpting is ideal for the neck, jawline,
arms, breasts, “bra fat,”abdomen, “love handles,”
“saddle bags,” inner and outer thighs and knees.
Am I a candidate?
LaserBodySculpting is meant for areas that do not
respond to diet or exercise. The perfect candidate
is in good health and within 10-15 pounds of their ideal body weight.**
How does LaserBodySculpting compare
to conventional liposuction?
Conventional liposuction is meant to remove
greater amounts of fat. However, since this can
leave behind unsightly pockets of skin, laser
assisted lipolysis is often a perfect complement. Smartlipo is able to tighten
skin while it melts away fat and coagulates tissue.
Is there a recovery period?
LaserBodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure done under local anesthesia at Dr. Kozar's office. Some degree of bruising
may occur, but you'll be able to
return to work in a couple of days and resume
exercise after 2 weeks. Most patients require nothing stronger than Tylenol following their procedure.
How many treatments are required?
Typically only one treatment is required.Impressive results are most commonly seen
within one week, with body contouring continuing over 3 to 6 months. A compression
garment may be worn for a short period after
treatment, depending on the body area treated.
