SmartLipo by Cynosure

Nothing gives away your age faster than fat deposits and loose skin at the jaw line, under the chin and along the neck. Exercise and diet don’t help. Traditional liposuction cannot be used because the areas are too small. Year-round turtlenecks and scarves aren’t practical. And surgery is a major undertaking. But now Smartlipo has created an exciting alternative.

Smartlipo is perfectly suited to treat delicate facial zones. With Smartlipo, the fat cells are permanently destroyed so the results are long lasting. It tightens the skin through coagulation as it slims. There’s never been a better time to turn back the clock.
The benefits of Smartlipo for the neck and face:

* Gently targets trouble spots where fat collects and skin becomes lax
* Minimally invasive alternative to surgery
* Longer lasting alternative to injections
* No general anesthetic needed
* Minimal downtime
