What is SlimLipo

SlimLipo is a laser liposuction device that helps to pre-melt the fat before it is sucked out and also to tighten the skin. It has two patented wavelengths to achieve this: 924nm (targets fat cells) and 975 nm (targets skin and induces tightening). I have recently brought device into my practice as it helps to enhance my liposuction cases and offers some borderline cases (e.g. mini tummy tuck vs Slimlipo) an alternative that has a much easier recovery and smaller incision.... more

SlimLipo is more specific for fat melting

Dear KC, SlimLipo is a new laser liposuction technique that uses a new laser wavelength which specifically melts fat. SlimLipo uses a 924 laser which is 3-5 times more effective at melting fat than the 1064 laser or 1308 laser used in Smartlipo and Coolipo, the other laser liposuction lasers in common use. The SlimLipo laser also has a 924/975 combination laser treatment that helps tighten skin during liposuction. The new SlimLipo laser liposuction has been in use in my practice for a year... more

SLIMLipo is laser lipolysis directed at fat and skin

SLIMLipo is the most advanced laser lipolysis system with technology that is specific to melting fat and also tightening the skin. This is critical during liposuction as the "fatty" areas are a combination of excess fat AND skin. If the skin is not removed, this additional skin may end up hanging, creating unwanted countours. In a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, the skin is actually excised and this is less of an issue. The point of liposuction... more

Slim Lipo and Smart Lipo

Slim Lipo and Smart liposuction are proprietary names for adjunctive laser lipolysis, in which laser energy is used to target fat deposits and shrink skin. The procedure to melt the fat is done with liposuction, rendering a smoother contour of the area. I use adjunctive liposuction, including VASER liposuction to acheive skin tightening and a smoother liposuction result.
