Slim Lipo is the next generation of laser assisted liposuction. SLIM stands for specific laser induced melting. Based upon six years of research to determine which laser wavelength would specifically melt fat, Slim Lipo is 2-3 times more effective in removing fat than Smart Lipo. Smart Lipo uses a 1064 nm. platform that is non-specific for the fat cell.
Slim Lipo not only melts the fat but also shortens collagen fibers and therefore tightens the skin. Slim Lipo uses a thin fiber-optic wand that is flexible and emits a wider area of laser energy to the tissues. Because it is fat tissue specific it will melt the fat at lower energy levels and therefore is a safer modality. By using Slim Lipo and melting the fat, the fatty tissue can easily be extracted using thin liposuction cannulas. The procedure is much less traumatic, less bruising, less swelling and there is considerably less discomfort than traditional liposuction.
