Getting Started
Your first step is to schedule a consultation with a SlimLipo physician. During the consultation, be prepared to discuss your medical history and goals for the procedure. Your physician will tell you whether SlimLipo is right for you, what results you can expect, and how much your SlimLipo body contouring procedure will cost.
During the Procedure
There may be a slight pinching and minimal discomfort when local anesthesia is administered. Because the SlimLipo body sculpting system uses precision laser technology, there's little to no "ripping" and "tearing" like in traditional liposuction. Most patients feel nothing but mild warmth during the process.
Recovery
Generally, recovery time is very quick. Most patients experience little to no soreness and many even go to work the next day. A compression garment usually is worn on the treated area for a few days.
Ideal Candidates
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 25 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.
Please note that SlimLipo is not for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, obese, taking anti-coagulants or suffering with certain chronic conditions. Consult your physician for more information.
