Beauty and the Bulge...
Would you like to be able to wear a bikini or swim shorts to the lake,
but dread the thought of going outside in any kind of swimwear? Dieting
and exercise should help, right? You could spend your evenings for the
next couple of months in the gym doing workouts with a personal trainer,
take up weightlifting and go low carb, but chances are you still might
not be able to budge that last little bit of pooch, the saddle bags,
thunder thighs, or that wiggly-jiggly arm underhang.
Have you tried body wraps, only to find the results lasted about as
long as it took to drink a glass of water? How about rubber pants, rollers,
thigh creams, vibrating machines and heat pads? If you are like most
people who are embarrassed by unsightly areas of fat, you've finally
come to the realization that those last stubborn pockets probably aren't
just going to go away on their own, no matter how hard you work out
or how much thigh cream you slather on.
Liposuction and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery: One without the Other?
Lipo-suctioning has long been the medical gold-standard for dealing
with the body fat issue. Until now, liposuction has been considered
to be synonymous with skin removal surgery, because when an area of
fat beneath the skin is removed, the skin that covered it tends to become
lax--so traditionally, the excess skin could only be 'taken up' through
skin excision.
General anesthesia is usually required with traditional liposuction,
and the areas where the 4 to 6 millimeter metal vaccuum tube enters
the body sometimes require stitching, which can result in scarring.
The manual vacuuming of solid fat deposits in regions of high vascularity
can cause bleeding, swelling, and sometimes tissue destruction. Weeks
of recovery time are generally required to allow the body time to recover
from the trauma of a traditional liposuction procedure.
How the newest SmartLipo MPX (Multiplex) Technology Works:
Performed under local anesthesia, the SmartLipo MPX laser lipolysis
treatment involves the surgeon using a 1 millimeter-thick cannula containing
an optical fiber (you can see it shining through the skin) to selectively
target, then thermally heat and rupture fat cells, liquefying the fat.
The liquid fat either drains or is suctioned from the entry incision,
or is absorbed by the body's lymphatic system and is excreted safely
and naturally.
Thermal skin tightening effects are accomplished because as the laser
heats and liquefies fat, the surrounding tissues are heated and contract,
promoting new collagen growth and tightening the overlying skin in the
process, in many cases, eliminating the need for surgery entirely in
the treated areas. The collagen growth and tightening results continue
for up to six months after the laser body sculpting procedure. Immediately
following the procedure, you are able to return to your normal activities
right away, usually within about two days (you will need to wear compression
garments for a couple of weeks).
The Newest SmartLipo MPX (Multiplex) Technology:
The latest SmartLipo MPX technology at SKINTASTIC uses two wavelengths
of energy instead of one, with better control of total energy delivered
for enhanced safety, and improved thermal and photomechanical effects.
These added options give the doctor much greater control of the amount
of energy delivered to different densities of body fat, which can result
in faster, more effective lipolysis (fat melting) and skin tightening,
with even less downtime and recovery. The MPX system at SKINTASTIC will
soon also utilize ThermaViewTM technology, a thermal camera viewer that
will warn the SKINTASTIC surgical team when the maximum treatment temperature
has been reached in a certain body area, for added treatment safety.
At SKINTASTICTM: The FDA-approved SmartlipoTM MPX Laser Body SculptingSM
System is the most advanced Smart Lipo laser technology currently available.
Additionally, SKINTASTIC will soon be the first center in the U.S. to
have the new SmartSenseTM with ThermaGudeTM handpiece, an intelligent
delivery system which regulates the energy delivered for the most precise
results. The previous version of SmartLipo was dependent entirely upon
the surgical staff's ability to track where they have already treated
(by watching the laser through the skin), so the new system is a quantum
leap ahead technologicially, eliminating any guesswork. With the newest
Smart LipoTM MPX, the SmartSenseTM with ThermaGuideTM handpiece and
ability to see their results instantly on the ThermaviewTM view-screen,
Dr. Adelglass and the surgical team at SKINTASTIC are able to focus
more on the artistry than the application. Dr. Adelglass has done everything
to ensure that SKINTASTIC SmartLipoTM patients not only have a pleasant
treatment and recovery, but also the safest procedure and most effective
results possible.
How Safe is SmartLipoTM?
As with any medical procedure, there are associated risks, but there
have been no serious side effects associated with this procedure--and
the recovery times for laser lipolysis are much faster than traditional
liposuction. Using a laser to liquefy the fat, there is much less blood
loss and trauma to the body and tissues. SmartlipoTM, even before the
MPX version with new enhanced safety features, had less than a 1% rate
of complications, compared to an up to 10% complication rate associated
with traditional liposuction procedures (according to a 1998 liposuction
study).
How Long Do the Results Last?
Unless a person puts on a large amount of weight, the results in the
treated areas will probably be permanent; however, maintaining one's
body weight after liposuction is still vital to retain optimal results.
