SlimLipo™ Advanced Dual-Wavelength Laser Liposuction
Traditional Liposuction
Liposuction was introduced in the U.S. in the late 70's. Since that time, it has
grown to become one of the top three cosmetic surgical procedures in the United
States for both men and women. In 2009, over 300,000 surgical liposuction procedures
were performed.1

Traditional suction-assisted lipoplasty (liposuction) has been used for many years
and has potential disadvantages in comparison with new technologies. With the traditional
procedure, the fat is suctioned with a sharp-edged port, shearing and removing all
tissue that it comes in contact with. Since nerves, blood vessels, and important
connective tissue may be damaged in the process, recovery can include considerable
bruising and post-operative pain.
The end result may often be uneven, sometimes
more so than before the surgery. Also, because the patient is often put to sleep
for the procedure, it may be difficult for the surgeon to position the patient to
obtain the most uniform sculpting result.
This experience has really inspired me to take control of my eating habits and exercise routine. I want to continue feeling great about my physical appearance and Dr. Roberts has helped me achieve that goal.

While Dr. Roberts does perform traditional liposuction procedures in conjunction
with face lift procedures, he only performs traditional liposuction for patients
who can afford the downtime associated with a face lift procedure. For all other
patients, Dr. Roberts performs the new advanced SlimLipo™ dual wavelength
laser liposuction procedure.
SlimLipo™
Smartlipo™ revolutionized liposuction when it was introduced in 2006 because
it tightens the skin while reducing fat. Now a second-generation technology,
SlimLipo™, has been approved by the FDA for liposuction procedures.

SlimLipo™ is a significant advancement over first-generation laser liposuction
technologies. Like the older technologies, SlimLipo™ utilizes a laser to tighten
skin as it removes fat. However, SlimLipo™ has a patented new advancement
that incorporates dual wavelengths and a more powerful laser to target fat cells
more directly and tighten skin more
effectively. This allows even better contouring and more fat reduction than the
original laser liposuction technologies.

SlimLipo™ selectively targets fat cells, leaving nerves and blood vessels
largely undisturbed, so the recovery time of these procedures is a fraction of the
recovery time of traditional liposuction. For this reason, many patients are back
to work the next day.

SlimLipo's patented technology, utilizes dual laser wavelengths that specifically
target fat cells, vaporizing fat cells and melting larger pockets of fat. It also
incorporates
continuous lasing, an improvement over the pulsed lasing of earlier laser lipo technologies,
for smooth contouring.

With SlimLipo™, a tiny laser fiber is introduced through a small cannula,
delivering energy directly to subcutaneous fat cells with a 924 nm continuous wave
laser. In addition to removing fat, the emitted energy also coagulates tissue, thus
inducing collagen retraction and tissue tightening.
The cannula's small size and laser-induced coagulation result in minimal bruising
and significantly faster healing time than traditional liposuction. Typically, the
incision is so small that it does not require a suture.
SlimLipo™ is performed with local anesthesia, meaning you are not put to sleep
for the procedure. Roberts Cosmetic Surgery Center utilizes SlimLipo™ for
treatment of traditionally difficult areas: abdomen, love handles, "bra fat", male
breasts, knees, flabby arms and thighs.

With SlimLipo™ laser liposuction, once the fat cell is destroyed, it is gone
forever.
