AccuSculpt:
The Most Powerful Tool in Laser Assisted Lipolysis
The AccuSculpt Laser Lipo-Sculpting System from Lutronic is the
first pulsed laser for lipolysis to feature the revolutionary 1444
nm wavelength for a new level of safety, speed and efficiency in fat
deposit emulsification and body contouring. The most accurate and
effective wavelength for fat removal, the patented 1444 nm
technology makes the AccuSculpt the most powerful body sculpting
tool on the market today.The
AccuSculpt system uses smaller incisions and removes fat with much
more ease than traditional lipo. According to Dr. Daniel Man, the
laser is so exact, "It targets fat cells more precisely producing
less scattering and less collateral heat to surrounding tissues.
Patients love the results and they recover faster."
Cleared by the FDA, the AccuSculpt is
effective at achieving desired contours while gently sculpting the
face and body, without the side effects of other lipo procedures. It
is safe for all areas of the body including abdomen, face, neck,
inner thighs, flanks, buttocks, knees, back and arms. The system has
been successfully used in the reduction of male gynecomastia and the
treatment of saddlebags in women.
"Because the AccuSculpt is more
accurate, fat is removed only from fatty compartments without
hurting other important structures like nerves and vessels," Dr. Man
explains. "It significantly reduces post-operative discomfort or
pain. Recovery is shorter as patients often return to work and other
activities in a few days.
AccuSculpt Features & Benefits
- Highly efficacious focused
tissue-specific wavelength
- Less downtime due to greatly
reduced thermal collateral damage
- Increased photo-acoustic effect
makes treatments quick and easy
- Ideally suited to sculpting
procedures over the entire body
Advantages of AccuSculpt vs.
traditional liposuction
BETTER ACCURACY - Low collateral
tissue damage allows for precise treatment.
MORE EFFECTIVE - Powerful
photo-acoustic effect selectively targets and liquefies fat.
SAFER - Many experienced physicians
find it more effective at removing fat with less trauma to patients,
providing a safer procedure.
EASIER - Rapid passage through
connective tissue requires less effort during treatment. |

Body
Liposuction or Liposculpture is a cosmetic procedure for removing
disproportionate fat deposits of the hips, saddlebags, thighs,
knees, arms, breasts or abdomen, to improve the appearance of
these areas.
Facial Liposuction can decrease fat under the chin
and along the jaw line. The fat is removed by gentle negative
pressure. Small tunnels are created with suction cannulas only 2
to 3 millimeters in diameter allowing the skin to remain connected
to the muscle by multiple fibrous attachments. Incisions are
extremely small and do not need stitches. Not all the fat is
removed, just enough to help re-define, sculpture and improve the
contour of the area being liposuctioned.
Dr. Newman's Technique
has evolved over years of training and experience with liposuction
surgeons in the United States, Europe, and South America and he
only uses microcannulas with tumescent technique to achieve the
smoothest results possible with the highest level of safety. |

What is the tumescent technique?
The tumescent technique of liposuction gives significantly
improved results with less bruising. Large volumes of fluid
containing special medications are infused into the areas of
disproportionate fat before the liposuction is begun. This reduces
the bruising and swelling after surgery. Many procedures are
performed under this local anesthetic technique without other
forms of anesthesia.
Will the fat come back?
The fat cells that are removed by liposuction do not grow back. If
the patient later gains or loses weight, the change tends to be
distributed proportionately over the entire body. About 90% of
patients can see significant improvement in their silhouette by
one week after surgery. However, the ultimate results following
liposuction usually require one to three months to be fully
achieved.
What are the risks involved with
liposuction?
As with any surgical procedure, liposuction is associated with
certain expected side effects such as bruising, swelling, and
temporary numbness. Although irregularities of the skin are
possible following liposuction, this side effect is minimized by
the Micro Cannulas and Tumescent Technique used by Dr. Newman. As
judged by current experience, liposuction is quite safe. Serious
complications such as blood clots, infection, allergic reactions
and anesthetic problems are extremely rare in the United States.
This procedure is an outpatient procedure and most patients return
to work and physical activity within four days. A custom support
garment is provided to all patients after the procedure and is
worn for one week. This garment is made of the highest quality
material and is quite comfortably worn under clothes.
Liposculpture is only performed to improve body contour and is not
performed for weight loss. All of our patients undergo complete
medical evaluation with laboratory testing prior to surgery. |
