SlimLipo
v. SmartLipo
While SmartLipo and SlimLipo appear to be similar procedures, there are
crucial differences that render SlimLipo
a far superior procedure.
SmartLipo utilizes a stainless steel "wand” laser
energy that is stiff, it can't turn corners
and is limited. The two wavelengths used
are 1064 nanometers and 1320 nanometers.
Both laser wavelengths are non-specific
for fatty tissue and are absorbed by water,
generating a fair amount of heat to the
tissues. The heat generated at the laser
tip is significant, disrupts the fat cells
and shortens the collagen fibers. This is
particularly important when operating areas
like the neck where the skin is very delicate
and it puts the patient at risk as it can
result in tissue burns. SmartLipo has been
modified numerous times to improve the results
and some doctors are still using the old
machines that don’t have the advanced technology
necessary to give you the expected results.
SlimLipo uses a flexible wand made out of silicone
fibers and can turn corners. It uses 924
nanometers and 975 nanometers wavelengths
that are specifically absorbed by fatty
tissue. 924 actually "melt" the
fat and results in liquefying the fatty
tissue with much less energy than SmartLipo.
975 nm is more specifically absorbed by
collagen fibers and results in more specific
tightening without using excessive heat.
The laser wand delivers energy to a much
wider area and therefore "melts"
many more cells with each pass, and requires
less energy to do the job. Slimlipo is only
available at select medical centers around
the country since only a handful of surgeons
are adequately trained to perform the procedure.
Bottom line: Slimlipo is the next generation of laser assisted
liposuction and is superior in its results,
ease of use and patient safety.
SlimLipo
vs. Traditional Liposuction
Traditional liposuction uses general anesthesia, leaves larger scars,
causes more bleeding and more post-treatment
pain, and requires a long recovery time.
Patients would have significant discomfort,
swelling and bruising after their procedure
and depending upon their skin elasticity
there would be some skin tightening and
in many cases the skin does not retract
at all.
SlimLipo uses local anesthesia, few
tiny incisions are made, and patients have
minimal blood loss, bruising, swelling and
discomfort then patients who have had traditional
liposuction. Unlike traditional liposuction,
Slimlipo tightens the skin and doesn't leave
dents or dings and patients can return to
work and typical daily activities within
a day or two after their Slimlipo treatment.
Bottom line: Slimlipo is easier on your body than the traditional
liposuction method.
