Can someone explain what is Smart Lipo? how is smartlipo different from normal liposuction surgery?
In traditional liposuction, and more recently with tumescent liposuction, fat is removed from specific areas of the body at the time of surgery. This can be done comfortably with local anesthesia. The patient gets the final result when the skin "tightens" around its new shape with the fat removed, a process that can take months to complete (think of how a woman's abdoman returns to its previous size and shape after giving birth). Smartlipo combines liposcution with placement of a special laser under the skin to stimulate collagen contraction and skin tightening at the time of the liposuction. You continue to improve with time, but the results can be better and patients can heal more quickly and with less discomfort. Also, you might want to consider Smartlipo Triplex, the latest version of this technology which is only available in certain practices...
Since most laser treatments are not for all skin types, I was wondering if Smart lipo or Cool lipo treatments work on people with dark skin.
Unlike lasers used for resurfacing, the smart lipo laser is used "under the skin" and helps dissolve the fat. This can make liposuction more effective, less painful, and helps patients recover sooner. Because it is not used on the surface of the skin, it is equally safe and effective for all skin color types.
