What’s the Best Way to Get Rid of Stubborn Areas of Fat?
Liposuction is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in the United States. The ideal candidate is physically fit and eats well-balanced meals but is unable to reduce fatty deposits in certain areas of the body. Great progress has been made in new procedures to help people reduce areas of stored fat. As Dr. Marcia Byrd’s specialty, Byrd Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Center offers many different types of liposuction procedures. SmartLipo: Byrd Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center introduces Smartlipo™ – the first laser lypolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat. Smartlipo™ is ideal for treating small cosmetic areas of the face, neck, arms, breasts, and areas of loose skin. During the procedure, a small cannula containing a laser fiber is inserted into the skin. As the cannula is moved back and forth, it delivers the laser’s energy directly to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and be easily drained away. The laser coagulates small blood vessels on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling, and bruising and a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction. The laser energy also interacts with the dermis and stimulates collagen, resulting in a gradual and natural skin tightening.
