SmartLipo? You Should be Having Vaser Lipo!

If you are thinking of having SmartLipo - don’t bother!

Firstly, you should be considering having one of the next generations of SmartLipo procedures: Advanced SmartLipo, Advanced Laser Lipo or Xtra Performance Lipo Laser.

These new procedures use lasers which deliver higher energies melting the body’s fat, followed by gentle aspiration of the liquefied fat. They are performed in a quicker time and have all the advantages that the original SmartLipo procedure had over traditional liposuction.

However the debate is not over - these procedures are only good for removal of smaller areas of fat; the size of a man’s fist, 500mls to be precise. The ideal patient should be slim and toned with localized areas of stubborn fat, with a Body Mass Index of roughly 25.

A large number of people normally do not fall in the patient selection criteria for the original SmartLipo procedure, but still somehow still ended up having the treatment; inevitably with poor results. You just have to ‘Google’ SmartLipo forums to read the pain, anger, agony and disappointment experienced within them.

Sadly with the obesity epidemic in the UK these people wanting lunch time lipo procedures and meeting the selection criteria are few and far between. However, there is now hope; Vaser LipoSelection has arrived in the UK from the USA.

This technology is similar to Advanced SmartLipo or XP Lipo Laser. It is performed under local anaesthetic and uses ultrasound energy to emulsify and breakdown the fat followed by gentle aspiration of the liquefied fat.

The Vaser Lipo procedure can remove small to large volumes of fat. It is generally accepted that under local anaesthetic and day case surgery no more than 2 litres of fat can be removed, this is well within, Vaser Lipo’s capability.

Leading clinics are already starting to offer Vaser Lipo treatment and it is set to become the gold standard in walk-in walk-out liposuction allowing us to remove larger volumes of fat compared with other technologies and treatments whilst giving us the ability to enhance and reshape your curves.

Smartlipo vs Advanced Smartlipo - There is No Comparison

New SmartLipo procedures have arrived in the UK namely Advanced SmartLipo and XP Lipo Laser. These advanced liposuction procedures are using laser technology which delivers higher energy followed by gentle aspiration at the end of the procedure.

They also have the same advantages like the original SmartLipo procedure over traditional liposuction, such as no hospital stay, no general anaesthetic, no major swelling or bruising, minimal pain along with significant skin tightening over 6 months, a walk in walk out procedure and return to work the next day if desired. The cost comparison also makes the procedures very attractive from £1800-2000 per area compared with £3200+ per area for traditional liposuction.

Needless to say there has been a boom in the amount of people undergoing these procedures; some people who have had failed results with the original SmartLipo procedures have been re-treated by their clinics with the newer procedure and this has led to happier outcomes for clients and their cosmetic/aesthetic physicians.

As more clinics offer Advanced SmartLipo and XP Lipo Laser. The pendulum has swung more forcefully towards the consumer, and rightly so. This mean cosmetic physicians are now offering guaranteed results.

At the pre-treatment consultation, most importantly your suitability for these procedures is assessed, your realistic expectations are discussed and eventual goals and outcomes to be achieved at around six months are evaluated.

If both sides are happy, a pre-treatment photograph is taken and the same photograph at 6 months. The photographs obviously should be taken with similar postures, lighting and background. Providing your Body Mass Index has not increased ( if you have put on weight you cannot blame the laser lipolysis for not working!) and if there is no difference between the pre-treatment and post treatment photographs, the clinic will repeat the procedure free of charge.

In conclusion, it appears the market is going to be cleaned up by these new procedures, but wait one moment and take this into account; a new and more revolutionary treatment is on the coat tails of these advanced liposuction procedures – Vaser Lipo! We’ll talk more about Vaser Lipo in an upcomping article, but if you want to have large amounts of fat deposits removed, you mayb be better of finding out more about Vaser Lipo.
