COOL LIPO in combination with BODY-JET LIPO

The increase in popularity of liposuction has led to the development of new techniques designed to improve the outcome and speed up recovery from traditional liposuction. The most popular are power-assisted liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction (Smart Lipo, COOL LIPO Laser Lipolysis) and water-assisted liposuction (BODY-JET).

Laser Liposuction – Cool Lipo®

Dr. Hunt Performing Liposuction

The Vein & Cosmetic Center of Tampa Bay is proud to offer Cool Lipo® laser liposuction, a minimally invasive procedure that is designed to improve facial and body contours with minimal recovery time. Cool Lipo® can be performed on areas such as the chin, neck, jowls, or upper arms to remove excess fat deposits and tighten loose skin. Cool Lipo® is usually performed under local anesthesia, and treatment can often be completed in less than an hour.

To begin the procedure, an instrument known as a cannula is inserted into the targeted area. The cannula is equipped with a laser fiber that emits low-level energy and liquefies excess fat cells without harming surrounding tissues. As the laser is gently guided over the treatment area, fat deposits are eliminated, and new collagen production is stimulated. The latter will help skin become more toned even months after the procedure.

Advantages to COOL LIPO

Infiltration of the cannulas into the tissue to remove fat cells

4c_body-jet2Cool Lipo® is often used in combination with an innovative new water-assisted liposuction technique called Body-Jet. This new system – available from Eclipsemed, Ltd and manufactured by Human Med – is designed to loosen the fat in the targeted area without essentially destroying the individual fat cells in the way that traditional liposuction works. Body-Jet allows for a less swollen mass in the area, less trauma to tissue and skin, and an overall more comfortable procedure for the patient. Body-Jet liposuction can even be performed under local anesthesia.

The Body-Jet system uses a new type of cannula and liposuction technique by simultaneously aspirating and irrigating the fatty tissue. Instead of destroying the fat, Body-Jet flushes it out without harming surrounding nerves, skin, muscle, and blood vessels.

Traditional vs. Body-Jet Liposuction

Body-Jet is also highly useful for fat harvesting, allowing the fat taken from the targeted area to be used for long-lasting facial rejuvenation such as lip enhancement or the filling in of lines and wrinkles.

Recovery from Body-Jet liposuction is often quicker than traditional liposuction, with less overall discomfort and a more rapid healing process.

Most patients are able to return to work or resume their normal activities after only one or two days of downtime. Learn more about Cool Lipo® laser liposuction and Body-Jet water-assisted liposuction by contacting the Vein Center & Cosmetic of Tampa Bay today.
