On Friday, April 23, we had our first social media giveaway through our Facebook fan page. 140 of our local customers showed up, and even invited some of their friends along! We gave away a total of six prizes, ranging from a microdermabrasion treatment to his and her haircuts at our salon in Irving.

SmartLipo in Dallas: See our before/after pictures!

For my first blog post, I'd like to talk about our use of a procedure called SmartLipo.

It's a minimally-invasive procedure that combines fat removal and skin tightening, can be performed with minimal sedation, and downtime of only a few days. It's ideal for active, healthy patients within 10-20 pounds of their ideal weight, who have an area of fat that they just can't address through diet and exercise.

We use a cannula that is similar to a traditional liposuction cannula, except it's much smaller and contains a laser. The laser targets fat cells and melts them, which causes them to drain quickly and easily, and it also tightens the surrounding skin, resulting in a natural appearance.

Within two weeks, swelling should be gone, and the result just looks better and better for three months. Patients can quickly get back to their activities and exercise without being hindered by a long healing process.

Unlike some of its competing technologies, SmartLipo has been FDA approved for laser-assisted lipolysis since 2006 and has many clinical studies. It physically removes fat and gets measurable results.

SmartLipo brings about a substantial yet subtle result for patients, without leaving behind scars or hanging skin. To find out more, click on the Smart Lipo "after" picture below to view our new Facebook photo album of before/after pictures!
