Dr. Sheena Kong Med Spa

Overview

Liposuction is an effective way to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat, but some people do not like the associated risks and recovery time. The laser-assisted Smartlipo TriPlex is a great alternative to liposuction; it is less invasive than conventional liposuction, and therefore less risky and easier to recover from. Harvard-trained physician, Dr. Sheena Kong, is proud to offer liposuction in San Francisco and the Bay Area using Smartlipo. In addition to laser liposuction, she also offers other advanced medical spa services. How is Smartlipo different from Traditional Liposuction? Smartlipo and traditional liposuction have different applications in cosmetic procedures. Although both treatments have their uses, Smartlipo offers several advantages, including: Performed under local anesthesia for less risk and a faster recovery, while traditional liposuction requires general anesthesia Requires smaller incisions than traditional liposuction for barely noticeable incision lines Uses a tiny micro-cannula causing less damage to the tissues than larger cannulas used in traditional liposuction Laser liquifies the fat for easier removal from the body, while traditional liposuction requires manual removal of fat cells from the tissues Treatment cauterizes capillaries for minimal bruising and bleeding, as compared to significant bruising with traditional liposuction Compression garments required for only three weeks, as compared to six or more weeks with traditional liposuction.
