Washington DC Smart Lipo Procedure and Recovery
In Smart Lipo MPX, fat is removed through a one millimeter tube or “cannula.” A laser fiber contained within the tube directs energy to fat cells with two different wavelengths. The laser energy causes the fat cells to rupture and turn to liquid, and they are then drained away by way of the cannula. At the same time, the dual laser wavelengths cause the collagen in the skin to contract, smoothing and tightening it. As a result, Smart Lipo MPX firms the skin while removing fat. This offers a huge benefit to our patients because it reduces the need for follow-up surgeries to remove excess skin.
Compared with traditional liposuction, Smart Lipo MPX is gentler and safer than because it uses a smaller cannula. So, Smart Lipo MPX causes less bleeding and trauma, and can be performed using local anesthesia right in our Washington, DC area laser liposuction center. Our patients are often able to resume routine activities or go to work the next day – a much faster recovery than traditional liposuction, which usually requires a week or more for recovery.
Our Washington DC Smart Lipo center serves communities from throughout the Washington, DC area and Northern Virginia, including Arlington, McLean, Bethesda, College Park, Silver Spring, Falls Church, and Alexandria.
