Coollipo Vs Smartlipo & Regular Lipo

Cool Laser Liposuction ( CoolLipo ) Vs SmartLipo 

Cool Laser liposuction performs laser lipolysis, meaing it melts fats, and at the same time it does skin tightening all in the same procedure. Cool Liposuction is newer and considered to be the next generation of laser liposuction. With SmartLipo, which also does laser lipolysis, but the procedure cannot accomplish the same skin tightening as Cool Laser Liposuction.

Here are the main features and benefits of Cool Laser Liposuction compared to Smart Lipo systems

1. Cool Liposuction has a max energy output of 15 watts compared to Smart Lipos 10 watts. This difference renders CoolLipo more efficient at melting fat.
2. Smart Lipo laser has a wavelength of 1064, which is best at targeting blood and colored structures. Cool Laser Liposuction has a wavelength of 1320, which targets the collagen and water within the collagen, which causes the skin tightening. Many Doctors will actually take out the fat, and then go back in along the dermis to tighten up the skin even more.

Between the two, Cool Laser Liposuction is more appropriate and effective for liposuction and skin tightening, then SmartLipo.
 

CoolLipo Vs Regular Liposuction   

Traditional liposuction can mean lengthy recovery times, scars, and less than ideal results. There is a longer time that a patient has to wear compression garments and they have increase scars because of invasiveness of typical liposuction surgeries. A typical liposuction surgery leaves a noticeable and large scar on the skin in the area and scar tissue under the skin. After a typical surgery, a patient has to have someone drive him/her home because of the general anesthesia used. The downtime is for a few days and will leave the patient with fair amount of soreness in the area. It is always associated with bruising and swelling starting the first day and lasting for a few weeks. Many people who have liposuction done do not see the results till the intense swelling has gone down. 

With Cool Laser Liposuction, there is little to no bruising and usually only seen with patients who tend to bruise easily. With CoolLipo the very small entry points in the skin heal uneventfully and the scars that might be left usually are unapparent or unnoticeable with little to no scar tissue developing. Patients do wear compression garments but for shorter amounts of time than with conventional liposuction.

For many treatments done with Cool Laser Liposuction, there is very little down time with CoolLipo - at most 1 to 2 days. and patients are able to function and work the day after the procedure. Some patients drive themselves home, but we recommend having someone to accompany them depending on the local anesthesia used and the total time of the procedure. Many patients who have multiple areas or larger areas treated are more comfortable in taking a day or two of rest, and then resuming activity and work.
 
The downside to Cool Laser Liposuction, compared to regular liposuction, is that it’s a bit more time consuming. It might take 3 or 4 hours to suction out a large quantity of fat that could be removed in an hour with regular liposuction. For this reason alone, very few plastic surgeons in the US will not use it.

Cool Lipo Vs Lipodissolve 

Another technique being marketed with liposuction assistance is Lipodissolve which is the procedure of injecting a toxic liquid that dissolves fat, often without the need for anesthesia. It may appear that this option is the best and least invasive, at least on the surface, but consider for a moment, what actually happens as the fat is being destroyed in the body without removal. The body has to repair it self AND remove these damaged fat cells and dispose of them, not to mention the toxic liquid it has to combat and remove out of the body. In large areas, this process of fat removal and most importantly the healing process can take months and exposes the individual to the risk of retained fragments of fat cells and have severe lumps or skin bumps, and even infection of the decayed fat particles. Lipodissolve may be used for treating small areas of fat, but for most people the fatty deposits are extensive and the risks are simply too great to take with injecting toxins into the body.
