SMARTLIPO uses the latest advances in laser and cosmetic surgery technology to provide a safer, quicker, and more effective method of liposuction with the added advantage of skin tightening, something conventional liposuction can’t achieve. Cosmetic Skin and Laser Center is the first and only practice in Northern Michigan to offer this exciting dual procedure technology at both our Petoskey and Traverse City offices.

SmartLipo is the first laser-assisted liposuction procedure, approved by the FDA in 2006. Since then it has become one of the most successful liposuction procedures in the cosmetic surgery field. It works best on stubborn fat bulges that won’t go away no matter how much you diet or exercise.

With SmartLipo, a 1mm thin laser catheter is inserted into the fatty layer under your skin through a tiny incision. The laser is used to both liquefy fat and tighten the overlying skin. The liquified fat is then gently suctioned away through the same incisions, leaving a much slimmer contour. Lasering the fat away also results in a much smoother result, avoiding the lumpiness and irregularity common with older liposuction techniques. SmartLipo is also less traumatic, dramatically reducing the risk of bruising and promoting a quicker recovery.

TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE

Since board certification does not exist for liposuction, patients are naturally concerned about how to choose the best provider. Your physician’s training, experience, specific liposuction technique, and ultimately his or her results are what you must consider when deciding.

Smartlipo MPX was introduced in 2008. Dr. Lo began performing the procedure in 2009, after an intensive training program with Dr. John Millard, M.D., a nationally recognized liposuction expert. He and Courtney Sumpter, PA-C are certified graduates of Dr. Millard’s program. They have received additional training by Dr. Stephen Mulholland, one of North Americas foremost aesthetic surgeons, and continue to train and certify in new Smartlipo techniques and devices as they are introduced.

ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER PROCEDURES AT CSLC

Smartlipo is not available anywhere else in northern Michigan. Because of our reputation for outstanding results, Dr. Lo now performs more liposuction procedures than any other aesthetic practice in northern Michigan.
