Body Jet
Now is the time to rethink liposuction. Body-Jet, the new water-jet assisted liposuction device affords the physician the ability to offer an innovative liposuction technique designed to minimize risk and discomfort, while reducing recovery and procedure time. The Body-Jet works by sending a gentle wave of water to the desired area to break fat cells apart for easy suction.
The Body Jet is a new water-jet assisted liposuction device affords the physician the ability to offer an innovative liposuction technique designed to minimize risk and discomfort, while reducing recovery and procedure time.
- Water-jet assisted liposuction does not require high-volume tumescent pre-infiltration with accompanying waiting times. As a result, the risk of systemic side effects, from local anesthesia, is clearly reduced. This improved approach also can lead to reduced procedural time.
- The contours are achieved immediately after the procedure because substantially less TLA/saline solution is used for pre-infiltration.
- Considerably less intra operative and post-operative swelling due to better fluid management allows the physician to contour the body and achieve the target result with greater precision.
- Reduced pain-related impairment enables patients to recover quickly and return to normal activity rapidly.
- Post-operative pain and bruising is minimal compared to conventional liposuction technique.
- The Body-Jet allows for easy fat cell transplants to an alternate desired area.
CoolLipo
CoolLipo is a laser based, minimally invasive procedure that aids your physician in the removal of unwanted fat during a standard liposuction procedure. In additional and most importantly, it provides skin tightening. It can be used to treat areas of lax skin that until this time were difficult to do or provided poor results post treatment with conventional liposuction.
Dr. Kim uses the CoolLipo (laser-assisted lipolysis) technology to remove small areas of fat and tighten the skin. Its unique wavelength directly contracts collagen and tightens the skin from the inside out. CoolLipo uses the proven 1320nm wavelength for treating areas difficult for conventional liposuction like the jowls, neck & chin. The CoolLipo laser system provides proven skin tightening and lifting benefits in addition to liquefying fat for easy removal. CoolLipo works in a simple three step process:
- Melting fat to keep fat cell whole
- Sucking the fat out as whole fat cells (fat can then be transferred if desired)
- Skin Tightening for any loose skin
CoolLipo (laser-assisted lipolysis/lipo dissolve) is a new, minimally invasive technology that liquefies fat for easy removal. It is a laser-based procedure that breaks up and removes fat cells in areas such as under the chin, neck, and jowls or areas with loose skin such as the arms, abdomen, waste lines, back and thighs. In addition, the unique wavelength of the CoolLipo laser system directly contracts collagen and tightens the skin, an effect not seen with standard liposuction. Benefits to CoolLipo
- Gentle fat dissolve and removal technique for small and large areas
- Treats areas that are difficult for conventional liposuction
- Less invasive than a neck or face lift
- May be performed under local anesthesia only
- Short procedure in your physician's office
- Safe with minimal bruising and side effects
- Minimal downtime post-procedure
