Most women want to look young and feel their best all the time. However, many of them are burdened with excess fat. The good news now is that the excess fat can be effectively removed using the latest laser-assisted liposuction body sculpting technique, SmartLipo. Laser sculpting is a safe and effective alternative for getting rid of those stubborn fat deposits.

SmartLipo Laser-Assisted Liposuction Ensures Successful Fat Removal

The first FDA-approved laser-assisted liposuction using the SmartLipo device is suitable for women who have unwanted fat in targeted areas. SmartLipo liposuction is a minimally invasive lipolysis technique designed to melt away fat deposits from body parts including neck, male breast, armpit, upper arms, midback (bra rolls), flanks (love handles), abdomen, outer and inner thighs, lower back, buttocks and knees. This technique is effective for skin tightening as well. The candidates who are ideal for laser assisted liposuction surgery or laser sculpting are those who are physically healthy and are having normal body weight but with superfluous fat in localized areas. The latest version of the SmartLipo laser known as the MPX, which operates dual wavelengths is also used to maximize fat removal and skin tightening.

Natural Looking Results with Less Downtime

SmartLipo offers many advantages over traditional liposuction techniques. This advanced procedure has an excellent safety record and is performed under local anesthesia. The patient recovers faster with less swelling and bruising than with traditional methods. At the same time, this procedure avoids the risks, cost and inconvenience of general anesthesia while offering natural looking results.

Dr Brooke R. Seckel asked:




Do you look in the mirror and see a double chin that you just can’t stand? Millions of people do.  A tight neck line and jaw line create a beautiful, youthful and fit look to the face. Before now a surgical neck or face lift was required to correct a double chin and or jowls.

Today, a revolutionary new laser can melt fat and tighten skin and correct the double chin and jowls without surgery and neck lift scars! The new technology uses a 924 and combined 924/975 laser wavelength to melt neck fat and tighten chin skin and remove a double chin without surgery, a true nonsurgical neck lift.



What Causes Double Chin? Heredity!

You inherit your chin and neck structure from your parents. Look at mom and dad-chances are if one of them has a double chin or jowls you will too. Technically, it has to do with the size of your chin bone, the length of your jaw bone, and the position of your hyoid bone-often referred to as your “Adams apple”. If you have a “weak chin”-called microgenia- a short jaw line, and your “Adams apple” is lower down in your neck, you are vulnerable to developing a double chin.

Weight Gain Makes a Double Chin Worse

When you gain weight, fat is stored beneath the skin on your neck. As fat accumulates beneath the neck skin below your chin, the skin bulges and a double chin is made worse.

Facial Aging and Skin Sag Make a Double Chin Worse and Create Jowls

Most people really begin to notice a double chin in their late 30’s, some in their late 20’s. This is because our skin begins to show signs of aging, skin sag or skin laxity, starting in our 30’s. Also, if we don’t eat right and stay fit, our metabolism slows down and we don’t burn off as much fat. The fat accumulates beneath the chin and makes the double chin worse.

How to Remove or Get Rid of a Double Chin

Every face is different and requires evaluation and choosing the appropriate method for getting rid of a double chin. However the methods to get rid of a double chin are the following:

·         Remove neck fat from the double chin

·         Tighten the neck skin of the double chin

·         In some cases lengthen the chin

Techniques for double chin removal

Before now getting rid of a double chin required surgery including:

Surgical Removal of Double Chin:

·         Neck Lift

·         Face Lift

·         Liposuction

·         Chin Implant

These techniques for removing a double chin can produce dramatic and excellent results (see photo at beginning of article). However surgery leaves scars and has risks.

Newer revolutionary laser technology has made it possible to get rid of a double chin without complex surgery and scars:

Nonsurgical Removal of Double Chin

·         Laser Chin Fat Melting and Neck Skin Tightening

How Does Laser Removal of Double Chin Work?

New patented laser wavelengths have been developed which are specifically absorbed by fat. This is the 924nm laser wavelength which is absorbed by fat 5 times more effectively than other wavelengths. Thus the 924nm laser can be used to melt fat and not affect other structures beneath the chin. The 975nm laser is designed to tighten skin, thus the 924/975nm combination is used to melt fat and tighten skin beneath the chin and in the neck.

Science used to be quite cruel. Those who sought beauty had to pay the price through invasive plastic surgery or liposuction. Fortunately, Intense Pulsed Light treatments (IPL) and VelaShape now eliminate the need for these dangerous procedures.

Plastic Surgery

In the past, men and women alike who wished to regain their youthful faces, with firm and unblemished skin, had to go under the knife in plastic surgery. Facelifts were the answer. There have been many botched facelifts, though. Sometimes, the results were unsatisfactory, not living up to promises. At other times, the patients’ faces became quite grotesque. Even worse, the use of general anesthesia in plastic surgery sometimes led to serious cardiac and pulmonary complications and even death. Another risk was deep vein thrombosis or the formation of blood clots in the vein which could also cause death.

Other possible outcomes of plastic surgery of the face were pain, nerve damage resulting in loss of control over facial muscles, facial asymmetry, numbness or loss of skin sensation, excessive bleeding, hematoma or the pooling of blood under the skin, infection, poor wound healing leading to skin necrosis and open sores, fat necrosis forming lumps under the skin, fluid accumulation and swelling, irregular skin contour, scarring, skin discoloration and hair loss.

Liposuction

Another scary procedure from the recent past is liposuction. The earliest type of liposuction, called the dry technique, was the most dangerous. It required general anesthesia, used a six millimeter cannula or stainless steel tube to siphon out fat and resulted in excessive blood loss and, at times, death. The subsequent tumescent technique, which was supposed to be an improvement, uses local anesthesia and a three millimeter cannula with holes punched in the skin for post-operative drainage. It is still quite invasive.

Intense Pulsed Light Treatments (IPL)

Intense Pulsed Light Treatments (IPL) is a laser treatment that achieves skin rejuvenation safely without plastic surgery. It uses flash lamps with full spectrum light that induces the skin to produce collagen, resulting in smoothened wrinkles and facial lines. At the same time, it diminishes pore size and eradicates skin discolorations like brown spots, freckles and blemishes.

Intense Pulsed Light Treatments (IPL) may be used not only on the face but on any body part, as well, such as the neck, décolletage, back, arms and hands. These body parts can be made smooth, wrinkle-free and blemish-free, as well.

But that’s not all that IPL does. It can also zap and erase vascular lesions or spider veins on any part of the body, from the face to the legs. This is another area where plastic surgery used to be the solution, often resulting in even worse scarring. IPL makes treatment so easy and safe.

There’s even more. The exact same Intense Pulsed Light Treatments (IPL) is also the favorite laser hair removal treatment in Tampa. This laser treatment also happens to be a permanent hair removal treatment, with the full spectrum light safely killing off unwanted hair on any part of the body such as the face, ears, underarms, back, legs and even the bikini area.

VelaShape

VelaShape also uses light combined with heat, massage and suction in a non-invasive machine that painlessly and safely breaks down fat deposits and firms the skin, resulting in a slimmer shapelier silhouette with dramatically reduced cellulite. The fat that has been broken down is naturally ejected by the body without any need for liposuction. After all, liposuction, much like other touted cellulite treatments, has been proven to be ineffective against cellulite.

Indeed, Intense Pulsed Light Treatments (IPL) and VelaShape are technological wonders we should be thankful for.

If you suffer severe eating disorders, you are a candidate for weight loss surgery. It does not eliminate cellulite. Liposuction deals with deep fat deposits, whereas cellulite is a superficial problem.

Erich Shrefler asked:




Laser skin rejuvenation is a weapon in the arsenal to combat signs of aging. No harsh chemicals are used and there is no long recovery period involved in the process. Laser skin rejuvenation is a popular procedure that can reduce the effects of the sun, aging and some facial disorders. Treatments are safe, effective and convenient, while diminishing the appearance of imperfections on the surface of the skin.

Common Conditions That Respond to Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Lasers are used to treat various skin conditions such as:

Age spots or dry, dull skin Fine lines Freckles Scars Spider veins Wrinkles Unwanted hair Varicose veins

Studies have shown that laser skin rejuvenation dramatically reduces fine lines around the eyes and mouth. Age spots can be diminished by half after one treatment and may be completely eliminated with follow-up treatments. Laser skin rejuvenation can reduce deep lines, remove shallow scars and tighten the skin.

Are There Any Risks Involved?

While laser skin rejuvenation can be very effective, it does not work the same for everyone, so it is important to have realistic expectations when choosing to undergo the procedure. Laser skin rejuvenation has fewer side effects than chemical peels and dermabrasion, but there are still risks involved.

The most common risk is temporary darkening or lightening of the treated skin and a small risk of scarring. Of course, the success of any cosmetic procedure is in a large part dependent on the skills and knowledge of the healthcare practitioner performing the procedure.

Laser skin rejuvenation can permanently remove signs of aging such as spider veins, age spots or scars, but cannot prevent your skin from continuing to age. However, new skin problems can and most likely will develop.

Regular workout programs, behavior modification and diets often fail to get rid of excessive fat deposits in specific areas of the body. Laser sculpting (laser-assisted liposuction), a safe and effective body sculpting procedure— specifically targets those problem areas. Laser sculpting using SmartLipo technology dissolves the excess fat from the body and tightens skin with fewer side effects while bringing an often dramatic change in the one’s overall appearance.

A Unique Way to Remove Unwanted Body Fat

SmartLipo is the first FDA approved laser assisted liposuction procedure, ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, male breasts, armpit, upper arms, midback (bra rolls), flanks (love handles), abdomen, outer and inner thighs, lower back, buttocks and knees. The growing popularity of SmartLipo is credited to the multiple benefits it offers compared to other traditional liposuction methods. Compared to patients who undergo traditional liposuction, laser liposuction patients typically experience faster recovery times, less bruising, less swelling and minimal discomfort. The laser-assisted liposuction or laser sculpting surgery is performed only after giving local anesthesia. The surgery duration can range from half to three hours depending on the complexity and number of areas to be treated.

Advantages of Laser Sculpting Over Traditional Approaches

• Tightens the skin around the treatment area

• Safer

• Less downtime

• Less traumatic

• Minimal discomfort and pain

• Minimal scarring

• Faster recovery with minimal swelling and bruising

• Performed under local anesthesia

The most recent innovation in laser-assisted body contouring is the SmartLipo MPX, which uses dual wavelengths of laser energy to maximize fat removal and skin tightening.
