SmartLipo®
Sculpt Your Dream Body with SmartLipo®
SmartLipo® is your go-to solution for tackling those stubborn fat pockets that just won’t budge, no matter how much you diet or exercise. This advanced, minimally-invasive procedure goes beyond traditional liposuction by using cutting-edge laser technology to melt away fat, making it easier for your body to eliminate those unwanted bulges. The result? A more sculpted, toned, and confident you!
Here’s how it works: SmartLipo uses laser heat to break down fat cells, which are then gently suctioned out of the body. But that’s not all—this innovative technique also stimulates collagen production, so not only do you lose the fat, but you also gain tighter, smoother skin. It’s a win-win! Whether you’re targeting your abdomen, thighs, arms, neck, or any other trouble spots, SmartLipo offers precise contouring with less downtime and discomfort compared to traditional liposuction.
At Dermatology Affiliates, we’re excited to help you achieve the body you’ve always wanted with this state-of-the-art fat reduction method. Ready to see the difference SmartLipo can make? Schedule your consultation and take the first step toward a slimmer, more sculpted you!

What to Expect at Your SmartLipo Appointment
Post SmartLipo procedure, the treated area will be bandaged, and you may need to wear a compression garment. You'll receive instructions for post-care, including activity restrictions and medications. Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Follow-up appointments will monitor your healing, and you can gradually return to normal activities within a few days to a week.
Visible improvement may be seen within a week, with continued enhancement over several months as swelling subsides and collagen production improves skin tightening. Following your doctor’s instructions and attending follow-up appointments are crucial for the best results and smooth recovery.

SmartLipo FAQs
SmartLipo uses energy from a laser to melt fat located beneath the skin’s surface. Laser energy is transmitted through a special device that is inserted into tiny incisions. The device is moved back and forth to deliver energy to the fat cells from the lasers in the device. The fat cells are melted with heat so that they may be suctioned out through the incisions. One of the main benefits of SmartLipo is that, in addition to melting fat in specific areas, the treated areas are also cauterized in order to coagulate the blood vessels. There is less swelling, bleeding, and bruising than with traditional liposuction so that the recovery is much faster.
SmartLipo helps eliminate fat deposits from any part of the body where it has accumulated. It allows our dermatology providers precision control over both the amount and location of fat to be removed, creating a sculpting effect on the face and body.
Patients receiving SmartLipo complain very little about pain but do mention a little discomfort when getting the local anesthetic to numb the area.
You should start seeing results immediately following SmartLipo treatment. You may notice some swelling at the treatment sites for a few weeks following your procedure, so your results may not be completely evident until this swelling subsides.
In most cases, one treatment is adequate; however, if patients have multiple areas to treat, they may require separate sessions so that there is adequate time to heal between treatments.
