There are several laser liposuction companies (including Smart Lipo or Cool Lipo). The actual procedure and use of the laser varies from practitioner to practioner.

We tend to use the laser (either Smart Lipo or Cool Lipo) in conjunction with our traditional liposuction procedures as the laser can provide some tightening of the skin.

By itself, the Smart Lipo or Cool Lipo laser is insufficient for larger areas (such as large abdomens) or multiple areas.
