SmartLipo™
Fat bits where fat bits shouldn’t be?
It’s a fact that, try as we might to shift them, most of us have pockets of fat that we would prefer to be without. Exercise doesn’t seem to shift them, and it seems strange to diet to get rid of a double chin…the Harley Street Medical Skin Clinic has the answer! It’s SmartLipo, and it’s completely revolutionising the way people think about weight loss.
Suitable for both men and women, SmartLipo can be used to target those smaller pocket of fat that resist diet and exercise. Fat up to about the size of a fist can be safely removed with a treatment that is fast, safe and virtually painless. And it can be from any part of the body, from ankles to love handles, tummies to toes.
It works by introducing a 1mm tube containing a laser under the surface of the skin. The laser is then very carefully moved about the area being treated, melting fat cells as it goes. These are broken down by the body and flushed out naturally.
What makes SmartLipo so different from normal liposuction is that it’s largely non-invasive, administered under a local anaesthetic, and with a very short recovery period, patients often being treated in their lunch hour and returning to work afterwards.
Another important difference is in how the skin looks after treatment. After a liposuction treatment, the skin over the treated area tends to be loose and saggy. Not with SmartLipo! Scarring is minimal, and the laser used is cleverly designed to tighten the skin whilst it’s melting fat cells.
