About Allentown Smartlipo™ Laser Liposuction
Liposuction is a technology developed about 30 years ago to remove fat from problem areas. It draws fat away from those areas where fat cells accumulate – and is able to remove them permanently. Like many medical technologies, it began as a procedure with huge potential but needed some fine-tuning in order to be effective and appealing to the great majority of people in search of the perfect body contouring method.
In Allentown and at other liposuction clinics nationwide, laser liposuction has in recent years become the state-of-the-art application for this long-standing technology. Known as Smartlipo (a registered trademark of Cynosure, Inc.), laser liposuction is now widely seen as the ideal way to fix your problem areas. Aesthetic Surgery Associates, which provides Allentown and the surrounding region with a leading laser liposuction center, offers a range of body sculpting techniques that rely on Smart Lipo and other forms of liposuction.
The advantages of Smart Lipo laser liposuction technology
In the past, liposuction required scalpels and suction to remove fat. It often left loose skin in its wake. Smartlipo laser liposuction takes the technology to a new level. A single low-energy laser fiber is introduced through a very small incision. Under the precise manipulations of our highly trained, board-certified surgeons, the fat is then melted away and drawn out through a small, stainless steel cannula, leaving the body tightly contoured and eliminating areas of fat deposits.
Our Allentown Smartlipo laser liposuction is performed under local rather than general anesthesia, significantly reducing the risks associated with the surgery. Laser liposuction technology targets the fat cells, leaving minimal (if any) swelling and bleeding and typically requiring no sutures. Where traditional liposuction almost always left loose skin behind, Smart Lipo laser liposuction has the capability to significantly reduce the amount of loose skin. Recovery from laser liposuction is quick and easy, with very little swelling or bleeding.

How SmartLipo laser liposuction works
The laser energy simultaneously dissolves fat cells (lipolysis) while coagulating blood vessels, allowing easier suction removal of this fat with less bleeding and trauma to interior connective tissues. Additionally, the Smartlipo laser wavelength can stimulate collagen contraction at the skin surface that produces tissue tightening over the treated area both immediately and over the course of a few months. Because of the reduced bleeding and trauma, recovery from Smartlipo laser liposuction may be reduced to a couple of days versus the weeklong recovery that is typical of traditional liposuction.
