Dieting and exercise don’t always help to tone up those trouble spots on your body. Smartlipo®, which is laser body sculpting, is a minimally invasive treatment that permanently destroys fat cells to give you the body you’ve always wanted. At Heron Med Spa in Alexandria, Virginia, Roy Heron, MD, and his team offer Smartlipo to qualified candidates. Call the office or book online to find out more.

SmartLipo Q & A

Smartlipo is distinct from other laser body-sculpting procedures. It uses two wavelengths of energy to break down fat cells and tighten the skin simultaneously. This gives Dr. Heron more control over the fat-removal process and produces the most aesthetically pleasing results possible.

Who is a candidate for Smartlipo?

Smartlipo can help if you’ve got a little excess fat on your belly, buttocks, around your thighs, neck, or at the back of your upper arms. It can also help with fat deposits and loose skin under your chin and along your jaw and neckline. The laser treatment destroys the fat cells and tightens the skin, so you look younger and slimmer.

Smartlipo addresses areas where diet and exercise fail. The benefits of Smartlipo are that it:

• Permanently destroys fat cells
• Improves overall body shape
• Is minimally invasive
• Causes coagulation to tighten tissue
• Increases collagen formation to induce skin tightening

Smartlipo technology actually causes fat cells to burst, so they can’t swell up again or regenerate. The treatment has more than 10 years of research standing behind its effectiveness and safety. You need only one treatment and minimal downtime afterward.

What is Cellulaze®?

Cellulaze technology complements Smartlipo treatments to reduce the appearance of cellulite in treated areas. You experience a reduction in dimples and ripples with Cellulaze.
