Description
Laserlipolisi
® is an innovative, minimally invasive technique specially designed to remove excess fatty tissue via selective interaction of a laser beam with the fat cells (adipocytes).
With Laserlipolisi® treatment, the laser light is conveyed by micro-cannules of a diameter of 1mm or 1.4mm carrying an optic fibre of 300 µm or 600 µm. The special pulse emitted, characterised by a high peak power released at very short intervals, denatures and breaks the adipocyte membranes, enabling drainage of the cellular content, a low-viscosity, oily solution (lysate) that is eliminated physiologically, or can be easily removed with a low-pressure micro-pump or simple syringes.
Laserlipolisi® can also be combined with the traditional liposuction and liposculpture techniques, especially when treating large areas.
The technique is based on an innovative laser specifically designed for this purpose. The Smartlipo® system exploits a Nd:YAG laser that emits special, extremely short pulses and very high power peaks, thus enabling selective targeting of fat cells without any overheating of the surrounding tissues. This ensures efficacious and safe treatments while simultaneously reducing post-operation recovery times to a minimum.
Compared to traditional tumescent liposuction and liposculpture, Smartlipo® offers innumerable advantages:
- Less invasive: the cannules have a diameter of only 1mm or 1.4mm.
- Reduced blood loss: the interaction of the wavelength of the Nd:YAG laser with the haemoglobin means the small blood vessels are coagulated during treatment, preventing any widespread or persistent haematomas after the operation.
- Shorter recovery times and less use of compressive bandages.
- Possibility of repeating the treatment several times in the same spot after a few months.
- Stimulation of the dermal collagen with subsequent improvement of skin tone after the drainage.
- A more homogeneous skin surface after treatment.
- Low viscosity of the lysate, facilitating any necessary aspiration.
- Enhanced patient comfort since with no overheating of the tissues: the high power is delivered at very short intervals.
- Possibility of intervening even on areas previously considered unsuitable for traditional liposuction, such as cheeks, bags under the eyes, double chin, arms, upper part of the abdomen and knees.
