I have been using Lipolite for almost a year and have seen very nice results with it. While it is similar to the more recognizable "Smart Lipo", it has some features that I find makes it more effective. The key is that any laser-lipolysis must be used in conjunction with traditional (or tumescent) liposuction. Laser-lipolysis does not replace liposuction - those doctors that claim that it does, are being very misleading and doing a disservice to those of us who are experienced with this technology. The cost will vary depending on geographic region and the area of the body, but in general, it costs slightly more than traditional liposuction alone. It can range from $1500 for a small area to $3000 per other area. Obviously, check with your board certified plastic surgeon.
