Q: Can Smart Lipo be used on the neck area?

A:

SmartLipo or any of the other lipo lasers can be used in the neck. These are safe procedures done in the office with local anesthesia. The advantage of using the laser versus standard liposuction is the heating of the skin from the laser energy, which should produce more skin tightening than can be achieved with liposuction. To date, there has not been any real science behind the claims of skin tightening with the lasers, only anecdotes. Nevertheless, these 'lunchtime lipo' procedures are becoming very popular because of their in office and minimal/no downtime nature. I had my partner do my neck, and I was out to dinner the next night. I do suction after neck laser lipo, I feel I get better results compared to when I was not suctioning.
