At Rejuvenage, Dr. Bandy uses Smartlipo and VASER to remove unwanted bulges created by excess localized fat deposits. These form due to hereditary factors (familial traits) and gender (male versus female). The synergy of these two devices allows Dr. Bandy to efficiently remove fat and tighten skin during the same procedure.

SmartLipo™ is a revolutionary new procedure that uses a laser to melt away localized fat - a safe, minimally invasive alternative to liposuction. Smartlipo™ laser-assisted lipolysis is a highly effective, minimally invasive, in-office procedure that destroys and permanently eliminates fat cells while promoting skin tightening up to 70%. It has been shown to improve cellulite and stretch marks. A very small cannula (tube) through which the laser fiber is introduced is gently inserted under the skin. The use of such a small cannula allows the procedure to be performed entirely under local anesthesia. The cannula is moved back and forth delivering laser energy directly to fat cells causing them to burst and form a liquid substance. The precise laser allows careful shaping of the treatment area. The result - a better contour and appearance of the body area treated. As an additional benefit, the laser energy stimulates collagen resulting in tissue tightening and coagulates small blood vessels immediately on contact resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising with rapid recovery time.

VASER® LipoSelection uses ultrasound energy to break up and emulsify fat, leaving surrounding tissue - such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue - relatively intact.  The LipoSelection procedure uses the VASER System's patented innovative ultrasound technology for fatty tissue emulsion and proprietary cannulae designed to minimize tissue trauma during aspiration. Because nerves and blood vessels are largely undisturbed, patients and physicians report low to minimal pain and bruising. Moreover, the LipoSelection procedure allows Dr. Bandy to shape delicate areas like the inner thighs and arms.

SmartLipo™ vs. Traditional Liposuction

Liposuction has long been the choice for people who just can't seem to get curves and definition on their bodies through exercise and healthy eating habits. Traditional liposuction can often mean lengthy recovery times, scars, and less than ideal results. Smartlipo uses a laser fiber enclosed in a thin tube that is inserted through a 1-2 mm incision in the skin. The laser breaks down the walls of fat cells and liquefies the fat - allowing it to be removed from the area with minimal bleeding and damage to the underlying tissues. The laser stimulates collagen in the overlying dermal layer, often leaving skin firmer after the treatment. In contrast, traditional liposuction techniques can leave behind loose, unattractive skin.
