The excessive fat is as a result of imbalance of caloric intake and output i.e., how many calories are burnt. Surplus calories are deposited as fat. The distribution of such fat differs in men and women and as well in different races. Overweight can be corrected by paying attention to this simple equation; diet and exercise are the mainstay of weight management. The gross obesity requires medical and even surgical intervention e.g. gastric staplng.

Scope of the body sculpturing ranges from standard liposuction, laser liposuction, and mesotherapy/ lipodissolve. As more women and men want to look and fell better about themselves body contouring and lipo-sculpture continue to grow in popularity. Liposuction has become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments today.

The standard liposuction requires general anesthesia, and the downtime associated with this procedure, which many are afraid of for understandable reasons. This procedure is meant to removal large amount fat and patients may require hospital stay.

The localized deposit fat on the belly, inner and outer thigh, love handle, chin etc. are at time difficult to get rid of in spite all dietary efforts and exercise in the individuals who have body weight fairly close to normal. Such areas are amenable to treatment with laser lipolysis/ laser liposuction or mesotherapy/ lipodissolve.

Mesotherapy/lipodissolve entails many injections in a single area that needs to be repeated several times to obtain optimum results. Discomfort and pain is associated with this procedure during and after the procecdure.

LaserBodySculpting is the state of the art technology that causes fat cell disruption (Laser Lipolysis), a minimally invasive procedure that removes fat. It offers less downtime and side-effects than traditional liposuction, the desired area treatment is completed in one session, and it is accompanied by minimal discomfort as this procedure is performed under local aesthetic.

What body regions can be treated LaserBodySculpting?
Laser lipolysis (laser liposuction) is ideal for treating small areas of fat or loose skin.  It is not a replacement for liposuction.  Laser lipolysis can be used for areas such as your thighs (particularly “Saddle Bags”), hips, abdomen, and flanks (‘Love Handles”), around the bra strap, back of the upper arms, the loose skin under the chin (“Waddle”), and the neck and jaw line. 

Who is a good candidate for LaserBodySculpting? 
Patients with areas of fat that do not respond to exercise and dieting are candidates.  Ideal candidates are in good health, with a normal body weight, and realistic expectations.  Females with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 27 are good candidates.  In males due to the usually larger muscle mass may slightly have a higher BMI.

How many treatments will I need? 
Usually only one treatment is required as once the fat cells have been destroyed they will not grow back. LaserBodySculpting will take about 45 minutes to one hour for each treated area.

What is my recovery like post treatment? 
A compression garment will be worn from several days up to several weeks.  Dr. Jafri and his satff will give you specific instructions depending on the areas treated and your individual situation.  You will rest for the remainder of the treatment day then resume activity as tolerated.  Neither strenuous exercise nor hot tubs should be used for two weeks.

When are the results visible? 
Results can be seen within a week with continued improvement over several months.  Additional treatments such as body skin tightening with our state of art SkinTyte technology  may give additional benefits.

Are the results of LaserBodySculpting long lasting?  
LaserBodySculpting permanently removes fat cells. As adults we do not create new fat cells.  However if you do not change your lifestyle in regards to exercise and a healthy diet the remaining fat cell will increase in size.  If you gain weight most fat will be deposited in areas where the SmartLipo procedure was not performed.
