 Take off what dieting and exercise won’t with Smartlipo™ LaserBodySculptingSM. Smartlipo™ is a minimally invasive procedure that permanently destroys fat cells, improving overall body shape by removing unwanted fat and tightening skin.
Smartlipo™ was FDA-approved in November of 2006 as a laser-assisted lipolysis treatment for LaserBodySculptingSM. Areas of unwanted fat can be targeted and eliminated and the body toned with laser-assisted lipolysis. Areas commonly treated include the chin, neck, arms, abdomen, bra overhang and underhang, saddlebags, inner and outer thighs, and knees.
Since Smartlipo™ is a minimally invasive procedure it can be performed under local anesthesia in an office setting with minimal downtime. The procedure is performed by our board certified surgeons using a one millimeter cannula (tube) inserted into the skin. A laser fiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture, turning them into a liquid form. This liquid is then suctioned out and/or drains away. Simultaneously, the tissue around the area coagulates, resulting in overall skin tightening.
An individual consultation is scheduled for the patient to learn about the procedure, review their medical history, explain risks and outcomes, and to complete required medical paperwork. For patients wanting to proceed with the procedure “before” pictures are taken and prescriptions for a mild sedative and pain medicine are provided. Patients with a history of cold sores/herpes should be sure and tell their provider so Valtrex can be prescribed to be started two days prior to treatment and taken for a total of five days.
Some light trauma can occur, however, patients can return to work in one to three days and resume exercise after only two weeks. Typically, only one treatment is needed. How dramatic the immediate results are depend on the areas treated and the amount of fat cells removed. Results are increasingly noticeable in the first 1-2 weeks following the procedure and continuous improvement is seen for up to six months after treatment. A compression garment is worn for 2-6 weeks after the procedure to provide optimal results.

Testimonial
I have to tell you that no matter how much exercise and dieting I would do, my unsightly outer thigh areas just wouldn't go away. Thanks to Smartlipo™, I now have the contour I've always wanted and my "saddlebags" are gone for good. It's only been a few weeks or so and I can already see that Dr. Luna and BJ are simply artists! The Inland Aesthetic Institute staff made sure I was informed and completely at ease! It was obvious to me that all of you really cared about a quality result for me and bent over backwards to be sure I was comfortable and happy. You run a top shelf practice!

I work out on a regular basis and no matter how much I trained, I could not get rid of my “saddle bags.” After hearing about the Smartlipo™ procedure, I met with a few groups to discuss the procedure further. Handsdown, Inland Aesthetic Institute is the shining star in this line of business. Their highly skilled group of physicians and staff are top notch; I was completely confident that this sophisticated team would perform a successful procedure.
From start to finish everyone was friendly and courteous. The procedure couldn't have gone smoother. You experience minimal pain and little down time; I went back to work the very next day. The most wonderful thing about Smartlipo™ is the quick and LASTING result. When I look in the mirror, I can hardly believe what I see. The saddle bags are GONE. I am so satisfied with the results and the level of care I received.
