Smart Lipo at VIP Aesthetics LA
Achieve your ideal contours with Smart Lipo at VIP Aesthetics. This minimally invasive laser-assisted lipolysis procedure liquefies fat cells before removal, delivering smoother body contours and tighter skin with significantly less downtime than traditional liposuction.
What Is Smart Lipo?
Smart Lipo, also known as laser-assisted lipolysis, is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses laser energy to liquefy fat cells before they are gently removed through a small cannula. Unlike traditional liposuction, Smart Lipo uses a tiny laser fiber inserted through micro-incisions to precisely target and break down fat deposits. The laser energy also stimulates collagen production in the surrounding skin, promoting natural skin tightening in the treated area. This dual-action approach results in smoother, more defined contours with reduced bruising, swelling, and recovery time.

Targeted Fat Removal
Precisely targets and removes stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise.
Skin Tightening
The laser energy stimulates collagen production, promoting natural skin tightening in treated areas.
Minimally Invasive

Reduced Downtime
Most patients return to light activities within a few days, compared to weeks with traditional liposuction.
Precise Contouring

Long-lasting Results
Fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate, providing permanent results when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
How Does Smart Lipo Work?
During a Smart Lipo procedure, a small cannula containing a laser fiber is inserted through tiny incisions in the treatment area. The laser energy heats and liquefies the fat cells, making them easier to remove with gentle suction. Simultaneously, the thermal energy stimulates collagen production in the surrounding tissue, which promotes skin contraction and tightening over the following weeks and months. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, allowing you to remain comfortable and alert throughout. Most treatments take 1-3 hours depending on the areas being treated.
