“A Smartlipo Laser Lipolysis is enough to gain our lost self-confidence, without scalpel and with zero rehabilitation time” highlights Dr. Amalia Tsiatoura Dermatologist – Venereologist. “Following the trend of contemporary Cosmetic Dermatology & Plastic Surgery Methods, the Smartlipo Laser Lipolysis constitute the evolution of “classic” invasive Lipolysis and assures to relieve us permanently from the “saddlebags” and the accumulated fat of the belly, the buttocks, the thighs and the calves and the other areas where the hypodermic layer is thick enough as it resists to the healthy diet and exercise.”
The innovation of the slightly invasive treatment “Smartlipo Laser Lipolysis” is based on the most advanced technology of ND-YAG laser that act effectively on the fat cells, causes dissolution and simultaneously promotes tissue tightening. More thoroughly, after the application of a local anesthetic, a small probe enters the subcutaneous tissue of the defective area, melts the adipocyte cells and turns into a thin liquid, while surrounding tissues and skin remain unaffected.
After that, the suction of the liquidized fat with a thin non – traumatic spigot, achieving fat removal and losing centimeters. The action of laser does not stop here, since the light and the thermal energy degrades abnormal fat deposits, responsible for orange peel skin texture, as simultaneously promotes skin tightening through new collagen production.

- The stage of Smartlipo laser lipolysis promotes skin tightening, maintaining the skin smooth and even after the procedure.
- The Smartlipo Laser lipolysis is less traumatic and bloodless method than the traditional one, so as a result, the postoperative pain and the tissue injury to be the minimum one.
- The recovery time is the minimum one. The patient after the operation can drive, can return home and the next day to return again to work. Intensive exercise can take place only in 4-5 days after the surgery.
- The tools that are used are thinner in relation with the traditional lipolysis so we do not have permanent scars and marks. After a few days the area does not appear to have undergone liposuction.
- The special corset that is recommended after traditional liposuction, in the case of Smartlipo Laser Liposuction, is used for fewer days, as the risk of skin loosening is practically non-existent.
It is therefore a painless, bloodless, safe, effective and with zero recovery time method for permanent loss of local fat.
Before – After Results
The impressive results are permanent and immediately visible within the next weeks, as they are improved gradually with the production of new collagen and with the normal reduction of the remained liquified fat via lymph circulation. It is recommended the use of a special corset for putting pressure on the areas after some days.
The exercise and the balanced diet rich in fruits that moisturize the skin, strengthen the collagen and prevent fat storage, while helping to maintain the results of the treatment.
