Frequently Asked Questions

How does SmartLipo work?

Laser Assisted Liposuction (smart lipo) is a new technology that melts away your unwanted fat and tightens your skin. Dr. Scarpidis uses a small fiber, the thickness of angel hair pasta, to deliver laser energy directly to the fat cells, destroying and liquefying the fat in the treated areas. A small canula is then inserted to remove the oils released by the fat cells. Simultaneously, the laser instantaneously contracts your skin from the inside and activates your skin cells to produce collagen, further tightening your skin over the next weeks and months.

What areas of the body does Dr. Scarpidis treat with SmartLipo?

Laser body sculpting with Smartlipo MPX is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, breasts, bra fat, abdomen (belly), love handles (flanks), saddle bags, inner and outer thighs and knees.

How do I know if this type of Lipo is a safe and effective procedure for me?

Your plastic surgeon, Dr. Scarpidis will meet with you during a personalized initial consultation and explain what you should expect from this laser lipo. Dr. Scarpidis and you will discuss your health history and personal aesthetic goals, and together you will devise a plan to get rid of your stubborn fat. Since this procedure is less invasive than many other plastic surgery options, SmartLipo MPX is excellent for patients with busy work schedules and lifestyles due to less bruising and less downtime.

Is there a recovery period?

This Body Sculpting Laser procedure is minimally invasive, and it will maximize your aesthetic outcome with minimal incisions. Dr. Scarpidis recommends that most patients return to work in one or two days after their procedure and resume normal daily activity and exercise in two weeks.
