SmartLipo
SmartLipo is the first and only FDA-approved laser-assisted lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary, minimally-invasive procedure for the removal of small areas of fat. Smartlipo is a high-powered laser that permanently destroys fat cells with less down time and side effects than traditional liposuction. Simultaneously, the laser energy interacts with the dermis layer of the skin, resulting in skin tightening and new collagen production.

No general anesthesia is needed, only local anesthesia. Typically, only one treatment is required. Results can be seen in a week, with continued improvement including skin tightening over 3 to 6 months.

Smartlipo is ideal for areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. These include the neck, jawline, arms, breasts, abdomen, “bra fat”, love handles, “saddle bags”, thighs and knees. The best candidates are in good health and of normal body weight.

Liposelection by Vaser
Liposelection by Vaser is a state-of-the art ultrasound-based liposuction system that breaks up and melts away larger areas of fatty tissue. The ultrasound probe delivers this energy to liquefy fat cells but leaves surrounding tissue (including nerves, blood vessels, connective tissue) relatively intact. The liquefied fat is then removed through our gentle suctioning process. Liposelection is a minimally-invasive alternative to traditional liposuction in removing typical, larger areas of fat.

No general anesthesia is needed as only local anesthesia is used. Typical areas that are treated include the abdomen, back, hips, thighs, neck, chin, “saddle bags”, love handles and knees. A compression garment is necessary for 3 to 6 weeks post-procedure.

Smartlipo is normally performed following the Liposelection procedure to tighten the skin via collagen tightening and rejuvenation. The combination of these two state-of-the-art procedures gives excellent liposculpting results with the typical “ridges” or loose, baggy skin.

Lipo-Dissolve
Lipo-Dissolve is a newer, non-invasive technique to melt away stubborn areas of fat by a series of a small number of injections. Lipo-Dissolve is a safe, simple medication consisting of two ingredients: phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate. This medication causes the fat cell to rupture and liquefy. This process is inflammatory in nature so the patient may experience swelling, sensitivity, itching, bruising, redness and soreness. These short-term effects may last 3 days to approximately 2-3 weeks.

Lipo-Dissolve is a simple alternative to any type of invasive procedure such as liposuction. The procedure is performed in the office and takes only minutes to perform. Depending on the patient’s amount of fat and his/her metabolism, a patient may require 2 to 6 treatments per area. This process is more gradual than an invasive procedure which is also beneficial to the overlying skin.

Lipo-Dissolve does not give the patient any looseness or laxity of his/her skin. A minimum of 3 weeks is required between treatments. Typical areas include abdomen, love handles, thighs, “saddle bags”, arms, chin, jowls, “back fat” and eyepads.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the preferred method of treatment for spider veins. Our doctors carefully inject medication directly into the non-working vein. This non-surgical process causes the vein to collapse by causing the vein walls to stick to each other. The treated vein is then naturally absorbed by the body over a short period of time.

Patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. The majority of patients will only need injections, thus avoiding any surgical procedures or anesthesia.

Endovenous Laser Therapy (ELVT)
Endovenous Laser Therapy is a new, innovative way to treat varicose veins. This minimally invasive procedure uses laser energy to treat the source of the problem by closing down the diseased vein in the leg without any large incision. No surgery or general anesthesia is needed. The entire procedure can be done in the office in less than one hour.
