Every SmartLipo patient wants to know how soon it will be before he or she begins to see the results of the surgery. As the narrator explains in this video, patients will be able to tell what they will look like within three months of the procedure. After six months, the process is generally stable. At that point, the patient will decide whether he or she is satisfied with the results of the procedure, or whether more work is desired.
At Central Park SmartLipo, serving Manhattan and the greater New York City area, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to provide our patients with a healthier, more youthful appearance.

From unsightly bumps to painful nicks, there’s little doubt that waxing and shaving is inconvenient and annoying. Millions of people choose laser hair removal over traditional hair removal techniques for smooth skin. Here’s what you should know about laser hair removal:
Who Is A Good Candidate?
Laser hair removal works best for people with light skin and pigmented hair. The laser responds to and targets darker hair follicles. Individuals with blond or gray hair have less effective results. It’s important not to tan before a procedure because skin tone can interfere with absorption of the laser light by the hair follicle.
What Areas Are Commonly Treated?
The puled laser light can target a group of hair follicles at the same time, which allows for large areas to be treated. Popular treatment areas include legs, back, shoulders, arms, chest, bikini line, and underarms. Some lasers are even precise enough to treat unwanted hair on the chin, checks, and upper lip.
What Does Treatment Entail?
Before the laser hair removal procedure begins, a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin. A specialist moves a laser handset over the treatment area. Low-energy light pulses pass through the skin and focus on hair pigments. The energy from the laser beam passes into the hair shaft and disables the hair follicle in the skin’s deep layers. The hairs absorb the heat and are loosened from the root.
The procedure is very safe and painless. Depending on the treatment area, the procedure time can range anywhere from half an hour to a couple of hours.
What Are The Results?
Many patients return for multiple treatments to get optimal results. The number of treatments often depends on the type of laser used in the procedure. While laser hair removal slows hair regrowth, multiple treatments are needed for a prolonged “hair-free” period. The hair that does grow back won’t be as noticeable or numerous. Some patients experience hair regrowth after a few months or years while others never have hair regrow in that area.
