Get Rid of the fat forever! for just $90 a month with our interest free financing
SmartLipo has been used to successfully treat thousands of clients worldwide since 2000. It is new to the United States having been introduced in late 2008. We were among the first to offer the procedure and are still one of the most experienced in the country.
A large proportion of our Smart Lipo clients are men, with the most popular areas being the chest (see Gynecomastia tab), abdomen, lower back (love handles) and neck/jawline. You can have a FREE consultation with a Dr. Salvador at our Radiance MedSpa in Palm Beach Gardens, but SmartLipo is not for everyone.
Is SmartLipo a treatment for obesity?
No. Both SmartLipo and traditional Liposuction are not appropriate for significant weight loss. Diet and exercise are the best approach to treat obesity.
What areas can be treated with SmartLipo?
SmartLipo can be used to improve virtually any pocket of fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. This includes areas traditional Liposuction could not treat, such as the backs of the arms, the inner thighs, the upper part of the abdomen and the neck/jawline. SmartLipo is able to treat these areas because it is minimally invasive and less traumatic, so the delicate nerves and blood vessels undergo significantly less trauma.
How long does SmartLipo treatment take?
Since it is minimally invasive and done under a local anaesthetic, SmartLipo treatment usually takes less than an hour per area treated. We ask clients to allow anywhere from one and half to three hours from arrival time at the clinic until they are on their way home. You are awake during the entire process and all you will feel is some tugging and pressure as your botonics doctor sculpts the fat melting laser around the treated area. A local anaesthetic is injected to the target area. You remain awake from beginning to end but thanks to oral sedatives and painkillers, you will be relaxed and largely pain free throughout the procedure.
Note: However, that because of sedatives and local anaesthetic, you may feel a bit shakey after the procedure and so you should not drive a car within 24 hours.
The level of discomfort experienced by our clients ranges from moderate to virtually painless. Dr. Salvador will anaesthetise the surface of your skin at the entry area, then inject an anaesthetic into the fat layer that will be treated. Those clients that have experienced resistance to local anaesthetics (e.g. when having dental work) may experience a similar resistance to the local anaesthetic we use for SmartLipo treatment. The laser acts on the fat cells without affecting the nerve endings, so discomfort is significantly reduced relative to Liposuction. Some clients describe the sensation as tugging, scraping or a sensation of pressure.
How quickly can I return to work after SmartLipo?
While we advise clients to not have any commitment for a couple of days after treatment, many clients actually return to work a day or two after SmartLipo treatment.
Is there any reason I could not be treated with SmartLipo?
Yes. You need to be in generally good health, ideally carry out regular exercise, have good eating habits and your weight should not exceed 25% of your ideal weight. Your blood, heart, liver and kidneys should be free from any disorders and your should not be taking any anticoagulants or be diabetic. You should not be taking steroids or anti-inflammatory medications for more than a few days. Your full medical history will be discussed with your botonics doctor during your consultation to confirm that you're suitable for SmartLipo treatment.

Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia) “Smart Lipo Laser Liposuction for Man Boobs". Gynecomastia is a common condition. Many men are faced with the issue of enlarged chests from excess breast tissue. This condition can cause embarrassment and make even simple clothing choices painful. If you are afraid to wear t-shirts or remove your shirt at the beach because you feel like you have women’s breasts it is time to take action. Now more than ever, people are taking advantage of sophisticated new laser liposuction techniques to treat this condition. This is an embarrassing genetic condition that will not go away with diet and exercise.
How is the procedure performed?
For most men with gynecomastia, the breasts simply contain fat deposits. Fat removal with laser Smartlipo laser liposuction is a very effective treatment for this kind of gynecomastia. At New Radiance, we have gone beyond simple liposuction and added ultrasonic Vaser. This allows us to remove the fat in a much less traumatic fashion and at the same time which also promotes skin shrinkage and tightening.
Male breast reduction is performed using tumescent anesthesia. Laser Liposuction is usually the treatment of choice although sometimes excess glandular tissue may be the cause and this requires a different procedure. In some men where the breasts contain not fat but glandular tissue liposuction is less effective in these cases because the procedure cannot remove glandular tissue. In these cases a plastic surgeon can treat this type of gynecomastia by making small incisions to remove the glandular tissue.
Why male breast liposuciton?
Male breast reduction boosts confidence, promotes a more masculine physique, and makes buying well-fitting clothes easier.
What is the procedure like?
SmartLipo Ultra is performed in our facility under local anesthesia. You will remain awake and alert during the entire procedure. Using gentle suction, excess fat is melted with a laser so that it may be removed using a cannula, or straw like instrument. The procedure lasts for about an hour, and patients walk out of the office with their new, sculpted physiques. Recovery time is rapid and there is less post-op bruising and pain compared to old fashioned liposuction.
Will I have scars or sagging skin?
Male breast reduction procedure leaves only one or two very small puncture sites on each side of the chest, each only about 2mm wide. Scarring does not typically occur, however, any resulting scars will normally fade into the natural color of the skin.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for male breast laser liposuction?
Male breast reduction is generally recommended for patients with full or fatty chests without hard glandular tissue. If you are very thin but have an appearance of male breasts you may not be a candidate as this may indicate that you may have excess glandular tissue, or "true" gynecomastia, and therefore will not benefit from SmartLipo. If this is the case you may need a surgical procedure to directed remove the glandular tissue. This procedure is called a 'Direct Excision. A physical examination will determine if the breast contains excess glandular tissue.
We look forward to discussing this life-altering procedure with you.
