Awake SmartLipo® IN LOS ANGELES AND BEVERLY HILLS

If you’re looking for a gentle way to improve your body shape without the long recovery time or discomfort of traditional surgery, Awake Smartlipo® at Rejuvalife Vitality Institute may be just what you need. This minimally invasive laser treatment targets unwanted fat while you’re awake and comfortable, all in the quiet privacy of our Beverly Hills office.

What Is SmartLipo®?

Smartlipo® is a laser-assisted fat removal treatment that melts away unwanted fat and tightens the skin. If you’re wondering what Smartlipo is, it’s a minimally invasive procedure that uses a Smartlipo® laser to break down fat and stimulate collagen for firmer skin gently.

The procedure uses local numbing, so you stay awake and relaxed throughout. A special solution is applied to reduce discomfort and bleeding. Then a small laser fiber is inserted through a tiny incision to melt the fat. The liquefied fat is then removed using a fine suction tool. Since you’re awake, you can provide feedback during the procedure, helping us fine-tune your shape in real time.

Dr. Berger is the best! Tracy and the entire team are kind, professional, helpful and supportive. It is like a family. Doctor Berger is talented, thoughtful and a true artist. I don’t even know how many years I’ve been going to them – at least 12 to 15, if not longer. Wouldn’t trust anyone else!

Dr. Berger was great, he addressed my issue regarding under eye bags, and hollowness. I realize this is a temporary fix but I feel good about having the filler to address the problem.

SmartLipo® Alternative: You Might Also Consider

Vaser Liposuction

Uses ultrasound energy to break up fat for smoother shaping. It works well in areas with denser or fibrous fat, like the chest or back.

Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting)

This lets us remove fat from one area and place it where you want more fullness, like the face, breasts, buttocks, or hands, all using your own fat, no implants required.
