Shape Up with SmartLipo™
Let's face it: no one's in love with their love handles. But it's hard to get excited when yet another treatment claims a quick fix for your stubborn areas of fat on the face, tummy, midsection or thighs. If you've been frustrated with available treatments and feel misled by false promises, you may be asking yourself, "Really, what's so smart about SmartLipo™?"
Well, for starters, this new laser liposuction procedure is proven to remove small pockets of fat in a minimally-invasive, minimal downtime procedure. If you eat right and exercise but still have small, lingering areas of fat, SmartLipo™ is the procedure for you. This laser liposuction treatment can be used both to slim your body contour and enhance your skin tone. It's time to make the smart move and achieve a more sculpted and attractive look.
SmartLipo™ is a convenient alternative to traditional liposuction methods. It's less invasive and can treat pockets of fat that are too small for traditional methods, while also tightening the skin by encouraging collagen production. The SmartLipo™ laser literally melts fat cells, making them easier to suction out. In addition to causing less disruption to surrounding tissue, the laser also allows more subtle sculpting. Most of our clients complete their SmartLipo™ treatment in about an hour, depending on the location and amount of fat being removed.
Because your surgeon needs to use only local anesthesia during SmartLipo™ treatment, you can avoid the risk of complications associated with general anesthesia. Also, since so little adjacent tissue is disrupted, bleeding, bruising, and swelling are mild compared with traditional liposuction techniques. If you've been putting off liposuction because you didn't want the hassle and downtime, your wait is over.

Affirm™ Laser for Renewed Skin
Tired of wrinkles, marks, scars and other skin blemishes? South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery has just added Affirm™ laser treatments to our skin rejuvenation menu, making it easier than ever to improve your skin's look. The Affirm™ workstation is manufactured by Cynosure®, a leading developer of light-based aesthetic and medical treatment systems. Affirm™ is the first skin rejuvenation system to use three of Cynosure's exclusive skin treatment technologies: MultiPlex™, Combined Apex Pulse (CAP) and Xenon Pulsed Light (XPL).
By reaching all layers of photodamaged and aged skin, this laser treatment can improve the appearance of wrinkles, leathery skin, uneven pigmentation, stretch marks and scars from acne, surgery or trauma. With a short treatment of less than 30 minutes in most cases, Affirm™ requires almost no down time and causes virtually no discomfort, with most patients not even needing a topical anesthesia. All of these benefits make Affirm™ a fantastic "lunch time" procedure.
The CAP technology uses 1,000 tiny micro-dots of light energy to contract surface layers of skin, improving tone and texture without the uncomfortable burning and peeling that can occur with other skin treatments. XPL is used to enhance treatment of redness and hyperpigmentation while the MultiPlex technology targets deep collagen layers to tighten the skin.
This laser treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be used anywhere on the body to enhance skin appearance, including the face, hands, neck and thighs. Improved skin texture and tone are often seen after only one treatment session. Clients choosing Affirm™ generally need four to six treatment sessions scheduled about one month apart to see their full skin rejuvenation results. Your improved look can last up to two years without additional maintenance treatments.
