SlimLipo, also known as LifeSculpt is unlike other laser or liposuction treatment in Jacksonville, Florida! The SlimLipo™ Procedure uses advanced technology to deliver dual wavelengths of laser light, specifically designed to easily melt fat in large areas - with less downtime, little to no bruising, and remarkable results. This means you will be on your way to a slimmer "you" in no time!

Unlike traditional liposuction, SlimLipo™ is an effective device for melting fat and not simply tearing through tissue structure of your body. The result is less body trauma and significant fat removal and dermal heating. The heating of dermal tissue has been shown to have skin tightening results which is an amazing outcome.

Is SlimLipo (LifeSculpt) different from traditional liposuction?

Yes, very different. Traditional liposuction leaves larger scars, causes more bleeding and more post-treatment pain, and requires longer healing times than the SlimLipo (LifeSculpt). Also, traditional liposuction physically breaks up and suctions out intact fat cells, while the SlimLipo (LifeSculpt) efficiently melts and liquefies fat, which is then gently removed from your body. Answered simply: SlimLipo (LifeSculpt) is easier on your body than the traditional liposuction method. Call today to make an appointment with Dr. Obi and find out if SlimLipo (LifeSculpt) or traditional liposuction is better for you!

How long is the SlimLipo (LifeSculpt) recovery time, and what should I expect?

Typically, the SlimLipo (LifeSculpt) procedure recovery time is shorter than traditional liposuction. Many patients typically go to work the very next day. You may see slight bruising at the small incision sites, which may take several weeks to completely resolve. Compression garments may be required for a short period of time. Ask Dr. Obi about post-procedure instructions and what you should expect during your recovery period after LifeSculpt.
