Alabama SmartLipo™ LaserBodySculpting
Eliminate areas of unwanted fat and tone your entire body with laser-assisted lipolysis
You've tried dieting. You've tried exercise. But parts of your body have simply refused to tone up.
Now you can change all that. LaserBodySculpting is a revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment that does
something no fitness routine in the world can: permanently destroy fat cells. Since your body has only a finite amount of these
cells, no new fat cells come back. With SmartLipo you can finally have that body you've always wanted.
Hedden Plastic Surgery has been given the honor of being selecting as a SmartLipo teaching facility. With the new
laser-assisted SmartLipo system, along with the skills of our caring surgeons, patients are able to achieve results they
never thought possible. The LaserBodySculpting procedure eliminates unwanted fat while simultaneously tightening tissue and
is ideal for treating small areas. The powerful yet precise laser permanently destroys fat cells by melting the fat, while
instantly coagulating blood vessels, which results in less bleeding, swelling and bruising than conventional liposuction. The
energy emitted by the laser also stimulates the tissue, inducing collagen production, resulting in skin tightening.
How does LaserBodySculpting work?
This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted into the skin. A laser
fiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away as liquid.
Simultaneously, tissue around the area coagulates, resulting in overall tighter skin tissue.

How does LaserBodySculpting compare to conventional liposuction?
Conventional liposuction is meant to remove greater amounts of fat. However, since this can leave behind unsightly pockets of
skin, laser assisted lipolysis is often a perfect complement.

Is there a recovery period?
LaserBodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light trauma can
occur, but you'll be able to return to work in a couple of days and resume exercise after 2 weeks.
