Laser Liposuction: Reshapes Specific Body Areas

Liposuction involves the removal of fat from the subcutaneous tissue. The latest liposuction technology is laser-assisted and offers more precise and effective results than conventional modalities. Laser liposuction reshapes specific body areas where fat accumulates as a result of aging or weight gain. It works well on those areas of your body that have refused to tone up despite rigorous dieting and exercise.

Laser Liposuction Surgery Works Well on ‘Difficult’ Areas

Reshaping parts of your body that have become fat-ridden over time can give you a new image and, with that, immense self-confidence. SmartLipo laser liposuction introduced by Cynosure helps you achieve your aesthetic goals by using a minimally-invasive, laser-enabled cannula to melt and suction off fat from specific problem areas such as the chest, abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, flanks, knees, ankles, upper arms, neck, chin, jaw line, and so on. It works well on ‘bra fat’, ‘love handles’ and ‘saddle bags’ and many delicate and difficult areas that cannot be treated using conventional lipolysis techniques.

Superiority of SmartLipo

Liposuction treatment with the FDA-approved SmartLipo modality has distinct advantages. After the patient is administered local anesthesia, a tiny cannula is inserted in the skin to target the fat deposits in that particular area. The laser ruptures the fat cells and the oily liquid that results is removed through a tiny incision in the skin. The newest modality, SmartLipo Triplex, uses the energy from three laser wavelengths – 1440nm, 1064 and 1320 nm. These wavelengths can be used independently or uniquely blended.

SmartLipo Triplex also comes with three intelligent delivery systems that ensure greater patient safety. They help prevent over-treatment and minimize complications. SmartLipo liposuction is superior because it:

  • Permanently melts fat
  • Seals blood vessels
  • Does not damage other tissues
  • Minimizes bleeding and bruising
  • Tightens your skin
  • Requires only local anesthesia
  • Involves no downtime

One of the greatest benefits of SmartLipo Triplex is it allows high-definition body sculpting. In fact, its unique Multiplex technology is ideal to treat and shape specific areas such as the chest to achieve a sleek, well-contoured look.

Ensuring the Best Results for Liposuction Surgery

To ensure the best results for your laser liposuction, choose the right surgeon. Do some serious research to find an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. Read online testimonials and reviews, and request references from your family physician. Once you decide on a surgeon, check out his/her qualifications, credentials and experience. Make sure you are comfortable with the physician. Discuss your motives and risks, and enquire about your options for reshaping specific body areas using the revolutionary SmartLipo laser liposuction technology. You should also look at before and after photos of your surgeon’s patients to understand the results you can expect. Remember that laser liposuction is not a weight loss technique. It is meant to eliminate localized deposits in certain body areas.

It is important to take care of your heath, in order to ensure you maintain a healthy, long life. Of course, regardless of what you do, pain seems to always flare up, in different areas of the body. There are a few different options you have available for correcting the pain, but if it continues to worsen, you need to see a specialist, You don’t want to live with pain forever, so it is essential to see what all you are able to do to correct the issue. Often, you just need to make a few minor adjustments in your daily routine, but on occasion, you do need to have a medical operation. Thankfully, with the proper pain management specialist, this is generally a standard procedure that they can perform.

When you first begin to experience pain, you need to take initial steps to prevent this. For starters, you need to reduce the amount of time you spend performing the activity that causes the pain, if at all possible. Of course, this isn’t always a viable option, and even so, you might still feel the pain. The next step is to take pain reliever medication to reduce and stop the pain. You do need to talk with your doctor though to make sure it does not interfere with any other of your medications, as you don’t want further complications. You can also try hot patches and other heat related items to help reduce the pain in the joints and other areas of the body. These products only do so much, so if the pain continues, it is necessary to contact a pain specialist and set up an appointment.

When you arrive at the pain management specialist you are able to discuss your current symptoms you are experiencing, where in your body hurts, and what causes it to increase or decrease in pain. From here, the doctor is able to check out your joints and area of the pain and see what causes it to hurt. The doctor is, more than likely, going to ask you questions while performing the check up. Make sure to answer all of these questions honestly and to the best of your ability, as it helps the doctor make the best assessment possible.

Depending on the assessment, a few minor tests may be required, including some blood work and x-rays. Depending on the results of these tests, the pain management specialist is going to inform you on what your next step of action is going to be. More than likely, there are going to be small steps you can take to help reduce the pain, but the doctor might also tell you that an operation is required to completely fix the issue, such as a knee or joint replacement. This is a common operation that is performed frequently, but make sure to ask any questions you have. You also need to find out if your insurance is going to cover the operation (most likely it is going to).

Once you have decided on your next course of action (with your doctor’s help of course) you are on your way to a recovery. Some methods do require some therapy after the operation, while other options require you to just adjust your daily routine. Regardless of the tasks you are required to perform, eventually you are going to feel significantly better, and the pain is going to go away. And soon enough, you are going to be back on your feet, just as you were before visiting the pain management specialist.

The Role Of Fruit And Vegetables In Nutrition

More colour means more health. Growing up you might’ve been told to eat your greens, but what about your reds, oranges, yellows and blues? The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and the 5 A Day Partnership strongly encourage you to “Sample the Spectrum” of the colourful vegetables and fruit which are available this season.

By putting something more colourful on your plate or in your lunch bag, you’re more likely to eat the 5 to 9 recommended helpings of vegetables and fruit each day. Just think: 1 cup of dark, leafy greens, ½ cup of red tomatoes, ½ cup of yellow peppers, 6 oz. orange juice and ½ cup of blueberries. And you’ll have 5 A Day! It is quite simple when you “Sample the Spectrum” which is available to you.

The more reds, oranges, greens, yellows, and blues you get on your plate, the more health promoting properties you’ll be getting from your vegetable and fruit choices. Nutrition research shows that colourful vegetables and fruit contain certain essential vitamins, minerals, fibre, and phytochemicals that your body needs to promote health and help you feel good inside. More specifically, here are some guidelines:

Red Fruits And Vegetables

When you add colours such as deep reds or bright pinks to your daily diet, you’re also adding a powerful antioxidant called lycopene. Lycopene can be found in tomatoes, red and pink grapefruit, watermelon, papaya and guava. Diets rich in lycopene are being studied for their ability to fight certain heart diseases and some cancers.

Green Fruits And Vegetables

Do you know why green is so essential to your diet? Not only do green vegetables look good and taste wonderful, but they’re also rich in the phytochemicals that keep you healthy. For example, the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin which are found in spinach, collards, kale and broccoli contain antioxidant properties and are being studied for their ability to protect your eyes by keeping your retina strong. Also, research is being carried out on cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, and turnips to see if they can reduce the risk of cancerous tumours! Greens are also packed with essential vitamins (folate), minerals, and fibre.

Orange And Yellow Fruit And Vegetables

Orange, the colour of a blazing hot sun, is a must have in your daily diet. Orange vegetables and fruits such as sweet potatoes, mangos, carrots, and apricots, contain beta-carotene. This carotenoid is a natural antioxidant which is being studied for its role in enhancing your immune system. Further to being touted as a powerful health-protector, the orange group is also rich in Vitamin C. Folate, most often found in leafy greens, can also be found in orange fruits and vegetables, and is a B vitamin that can help prevent some birth defects and reduce your risks of heart disease. With a chemical make-up which is this good, make sure to make the orange group a part of your 5 to 9 a day.

Bright yellows have many of the same properties as the orange groups: they are high in essential vitamins and carotenoids. Pineapple, for example, is rich in Vitamin C, manganese, and the natural enzyme, bromelain. Additionally to that, corn and pears are high in fibre. Yellow fruits and vegetables belong to many different kinds of families, but they all share the common bond of being health enhancing with a great taste to boot. So go for the gold!

Blue And Purple Fruit And Vegetables

Blues and purples not only add beautiful shades of richness to your plate, they also add health-enhancing flavonoids, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. Anthocyanins, a phytochemical, are pigments responsible for the blue colour in fruit and vegetable, and are under study for their role in the body’s defense of harmful carcinogens. Blueberries in particular, are also rich in Vitamin C and folic acid and high in fibre and potassium.

White Fruit And Vegetables

Vegetables from the onion family, including garlic, chives, scallions, leeks, and any variety of onion, contain a phytochemical called allicin. Research is being conducted on:

• Allicin to learn in what way it can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure and increase the body’s ability to fight infection.

• Indoles and sulfaforaphanes, phytochemicals in cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, for their ability in inhibiting cancer growth.

• Polyphenols, another important phytochemical contained in pears and green grapes for how they may reduce the risk of certain cancers.
