SLIM LIPO (Laser Liposuction)

SlimLipo™, Northern Virginia patients have access to one of the most advanced liposuction alternatives on the market today.  SlimLipo™ is a laser-based fat reduction treatment that is revolutionizing the way liposuction is performed.  Areas that are commonly treated are abdomen, upper and lower back, flanks, thighs, upper arms, gynecomastia (male breasts), neck, chin and love handles.

The “Slim” in SlimLipo stands for Selective Laser Induced Melting. Its specially-designed laser uses a wavelength of light which is ideal for melting larger amounts of fat in larger anatomical areas. Compared to traditional liposuction, the laser causes less trauma in the tissues and vessels that surround areas of fat, resulting in less bruising, down time and bleeding. This in turns helps in coagulation of the skin resulting in impressive Skin Tightening.  Plus, the SlimLipo instrument is very small, which means that the incisions are tiny which results in smaller scars than traditional methods.  Traditional liposuction methods can bring about contour irregularities while SlimLipo helps smooth out any lumps and bumps.

Traditional liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures and according to the 2007 survey from the American Society of Aestethic Plastic Surgery, laser-assisted liposuction holds out the promise for a better technique due to the laser’s ability to quickly and selectively melt fat and heat surrounding tissue.

SlimLipo

Our patients are interested in liposuction to achieve one goal: slimming unwanted bulges of diet and exercise-resistant fat.  SlimLipo can help you reach that goal without the lengthy downtime and aftereffects commonly associated with traditional liposuction methods.  With Slim Lipo you are able to go back to work

The SlimLipo approach to laser-assisted liposuction uses the Stylus Sculpter handpiece. This handpiece has a unique tip design and transmits efficient wavelengths for melting fat and providing the desired thermal effects on surrounding tissue.

SlimLipo is the product of 6 years of research to determine the ideal wavelength of light to melt fatty tissue. This patented device blends 2 different wavelengths to achieve both fat reduction and skin tightening. All of these years of research have helped to create a laser lipo technology that can safely address larger areas of excess fat better than any other laser-based treatment.

Is SlimLipo Laser Body Sculpting Right For Me?

SlimLipo is for men and women with areas of unwanted fat they want to get rid of quickly — particularly challenging areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Your SlimLipo physician will help you determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure but typically our patients are:

• In good physical health and regularly exercise
• Within about 35 pounds of their ideal weight
• Looking to target localized, stubborn fat deposits

SlimLipo may be the right body sculpting choice for you if you are looking for:

• A minimally-invasive treatment to remove excess fat build-up in a particular area of the body.
• A fat removal treatment that requires limited downtime.
• Permanent removal of the treated fat cells from specific areas of your body

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

“No matter how much I worked out or how much weight I  lost, I always carried my weight around my mid section.  I did Laser Liposuction to reduce my abdomen and I love the results, I have lost 6 inches in 3 months!”   Francine A.

“After having 3 children in a course of 5 years, my lower abdomen had a lot of fat and loose skin and my hips seemed to bulge after each pregnancy.  I did not want to do abdominoplasty (because of the large scars, risks and downtime), so I decided on Slim Lipo, I cannot believe how much improvement I see, my abdomen is a lot tighter and my love handles are gone.”  Lauren T.

“I am 5’5 and 138 lbs, I am pretty fit and I work out 5 days a week.  However, I always felt that I had a boyish figure.  I did not have a waist or shape on my bottom, so I decided to try Slim Lipo which my friend had recommended.  I am more than pleased with the outcome, I have a waist and more shape to my behind.”  Paola L.

“My double chin is hereditary, I have always carried more weight under my chin even though I am a healthy guy.  After much internet research I came across Slim Lipo and decided to give it a try, when the physician saw me he did tell me that I do carry enough fat to suction for the chin.  Now post 4 months I am very happy with the fat reduction.  My brother has the same problem noticed the results and he is going to do it too.”  Michael S.

“I have been fed up with having such huge arms and tummy for a long time.  Every time I get the courage to workout and start my diet and working regiment, after few short weeks I fall of the track because my goal seems so far away.  Having done the Slim Lipo for my upper arms and tummy I have seen a huge reduction and it has given me the boost to stay on track and do more to be in the best shape of my life”.  Gina, P
