SenzaLipo

When clean eating and working out don’t get rid of unsightly bulges of fat clinging to your flanks, abdomen and thighs, it might be time to check out the latest in body contouring techniques – SenzaLipo. SenzaLipo is a minimally-invasive option that reduces fat by utilizing a refined body-sculpting process. SenzaLipo is used to treat the same problem areas as liposuction but offers minimal scarring and reduced recovery time than traditional fat reduction techniques. At Senza Aesthetic Medicine, Dr. Rasi can customize your sculpting treatment to ensure that you get the smooth, beautiful body contours you’ve worked hard to achieve but haven’t been able to through healthy dieting and exercise alone.

How does SenzaLipo work?

During the SenzaLipo procedure, Dr. Rasi uses a small cannula to numb the fat layer through a tiny incision in the skin. After the numbing has taken effect, he uses another cannula designed for sculpting to remove fat precisely where needed. The smaller instruments and gentle treatment are less traumatic for the body, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising.

SenzaLipo is considered minimally invasive. The procedure is performed using a local anesthetic, reducing the risk of complication or tissue disruption. The procedure is very safe, so general anesthesia is unnecessary. A SenzaLipo procedure causes short-term side effects resulting from the body healing and adjusting to the permanent fat reduction.

Senza Lipo FAQ's

Does SenzaLipo produce lasting results?

Yes! Our procedure removes the treated fat cells permanently. Existing cells targeted for removal will not repopulate. When a person gains weight, the fat cells simply expand rather than multiply. By eliminating the fat cell membrane, we remove fat storage units from the body.

How long does the procedure take?

For most patients, the procedure takes between two and three hours. How long it takes is ultimately determined by how many areas you have treated.

What can I expect post-treatment?

After your SenzaLipo treatment, you will need to wear a compression garment to support the skin and underlying tissue for several days. Resting post-treatment is recommended to allow the body to heal correctly. Most patients take a few days off to relax and resume work and normal activities as they begin to feel less sore. Dr. Rasi will provide you with post-procedure instructions to ensure that you heal comfortably and quickly.

Are there any risks associated with SenzaLipo?

As with any surgery, there are some risks associated with the SenzaLipo procedure. Potential side effects include bruising, scarring, infection or a deep itching sensation. If any complications arise, please contact Senza Aesthetic Medicine right away.

Can SenzaLipo be used to lose weight?

While SenzaLipo can contour the body and reveal a more flattering shape, it is not a weight-loss treatment. All liposuction procedures are designed for improving localized areas where fat reduction is difficult, not for losing weight.

Does SenzaLipo treat cellulite?

No, it does not.

How does SenzaLipo compare to traditional liposuction?

While traditional liposuction and SenzaLipo both reduce fat, SenzaLipo is the superior treatment because it allows the procedure to be done more gently under a local anesthetic. In addition, SenzaLipo requires smaller incisions compared to traditional liposuction. Smaller incisions mean less scarring, which means a quicker recovery and more aesthetically pleasing results.

When can I expect to see results?

Results with SenzaLipo may be seen a week after treatments, with continued improvement occurring over the next several months. Typical results are revealed between three to six months following your treatment.
