Laser Liposuction: SmartLipo Laser
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
At the Cosmetic Surgery Associates of Maryland, we proudly offer SmartLipo, a revolutionary laser-assisted liposuction technique for enhanced fat removal and skin tightening. Under the expert care of Dr. Richards and Dr. Jabs, SmartLipo offers a minimally invasive solution for targeting stubborn fat deposits and achieving smoother, firmer skin with less downtime than traditional liposuction techniques.
What is SmartLipo Laser-Assisted Liposuction?
SmartLipo is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure that utilizes laser energy to liquefy fat cells before they are removed, enhancing fat removal and skin tightening. The laser energy not only aids in the fat removal process but also stimulates collagen production, promoting firmer and more youthful skin. This laser-assisted method, known as laser-assisted lipolysis, is particularly beneficial for small, targeted areas, resulting in smoother skin and less downtime than traditional liposuction.

Benefits of SmartLipo Treatments
- Enhanced Fat Removal: The laser energy effectively liquefies fat cells, making them easier to remove.
- Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen production, producing firmer and smoother skin.
- Minimally Invasive: Requires only small incisions, reducing the risk of scarring and complications.
- Shorter Recovery Time: Patients typically experience a quicker recovery compared to traditional liposuction procedures.
- Targeted Treatment Areas: This treatment is ideal for small, precise areas of fatty tissue, such as the neck, chin, arms, and thighs.
Recovery from SmartLipo
During recovery from SmartLipo, patients may experience mild bruising and swelling following the procedure, which typically diminishes within a few days. Our surgeons may recommend wearing compression garments to aid in recovery and help minimize swelling. Patients will see comprehensive results after just one treatment, but maintaining a healthy diet and exercise is crucial to the longevity of your SmartLipo procedure.
Because SmartLipo is a minimally invasive procedure, individuals can resume non-strenuous activities within a day or two, with full recovery generally achieved within a few weeks. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

View GalleryWho is a Candidate for SmartLipo?
SmartLipo is ideally suited for individuals seeking targeted fat reduction in areas resistant to traditional methods like diet and exercise. It is particularly beneficial for those with localized fat deposits around the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin. Candidates should have good overall health and realistic expectations about what SmartLipo can achieve.
While SmartLipo effectively removes excess fat, it is essential to note that it is not a substitute for weight loss surgery. Patients with minimal to mild skin laxity can also benefit from SmartLipo, as the laser energy used in the procedure promotes collagen production, contributing to firmer, more toned skin.
SmartLipo vs. J-Plasma
When deciding between SmartLipo and J-Plasma, consider the following:
Technology: SmartLipo uses laser energy, while J-Plasma uses plasma energy combined with radiofrequency.
Fat Removal: SmartLipo is highly effective for small, targeted areas and provides some skin-tightening benefits. J-Plasma offers superior skin tightening, making it suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity.
Providers: Dr. Richards and Dr. Jabs offer SmartLipo, while Dr. Jabs and Dr. Magge offer J-Plasma.
