Q: When is laser lipo more appropriate?

A: If you are looking for fat reduction in a small, localized area of the body, that’s when I might recommend laser liposuction. Talk to your doctor about which type of liposuction might be best for you specific goals.

Q 2: SmartLipo vs. LipoLite, what’s the difference?

Eric F.  Bernstein
M.D.
Ardmore, PA

Q: SmartLipo vs. LipoLite, what’s the difference?

A: Each procedure is a "laser liposuction" procedure, meaning a laser's energy is used to melt fat and is suctioned out of the body. One is made by Cynosure Lasers, the other by Syneron Ltd. Each has its own characteristics, however which ought to be used in your case can only be determined by your physician after a thorough consultation.

M.D.
Ardmore, PA

Q: What is "Cold Lipo" or CryoLipo?

A: Zeltiq, using a method of cold fat reduction first developed by Drs. Manstein and Anderson at Harvard, is developing a very interesting device which uses cold to target fat without cutting the skin. The treatment is done by applying a device on top of the skin which then uses cold to reduce fat.
