What is AirSculpt®?

Developed by the founder of Elite Body Sculpture, Aaron Rollins, MD, AirSculpt® is a minimally-invasive, innovative fat-removal solution. The process of AirSculpt® is simple enough to understand, even for those without a scientific or medical background. 

First, a surgeon numbs the skin of the target area using a tool called an AirPen. An AirPen uses air pressure differentials to distribute topical numbing solutions. 

The surgeon then replaces the need for a scalpel by using a biopsy punch tool to create an entryway. The entryway is perfectly symmetrical and only two millimeters wide. In the long term, this means you will heal with just a scar the size of a freckle.

After the surgeon creates the entryway, they apply a local anesthetic to the targeted body part. They then simultaneously prepares the fat for extraction while also tightening the skin.

Next, the Elite surgeon will use the unique AirSculpt® cannula to pluck individual fat cells from the target area gently. Instead of stitches, the surgeon uses dissolvable sutures. The downtime for AirSculpt® is only twenty-four hours. AirSculpt® differs from traditional liposuction in its shorter downtime, satisfying results, and increased accuracy.

Common regions for AirSculpt® include the abdomen, chin, arms, breast, and buttocks. The length of each procedure is dependent on the individuals’ needs; however, most are between forty-five minutes to four hours. While it is not designed to be a weight-loss procedure, AirSculpt® can eliminate up to five liters of fat per treatment, a significant amount of mass. Unlike most fat removal procedures, this procedure does not require general anesthesia. 

What is SmartLipo?

Also known as Laser Lipo, SmartLipo is a laser-assisted form of liposuction. Despite claims, SmartLipo does not tighten the candidates’ skin. This technique is not any safer than traditional types of liposuction, and there is no difference in recovery times. Common risks of SmartLipo include infection, scarring, bruising, and blood pooling beneath the skin. 

AirSculpt® vs SmartLipo & Laser Lipo: What’s the Difference?

AirSculpt® differs from SmartLipo thanks to its accuracy. SmartLipo uses imprecise laser-equipped tools to burn fat, indiscriminately hitting any organic material that serves as an obstacle, whether that be tissue or muscle. AirSculpt®, on the other hand, is a much more precise procedure thanks to the automated technology our surgeons use. They merely point the patented AirSculpt® cannula at the trouble area, targeting only stubborn fat and avoiding anything and everything else. The technology will stop if it hits any nonfat compound, allowing the surgeon to precisely and carefully pluck away each fat cell. For Beverly Hills residents looking to contour their body, AirSculpt® is the perfect choice. The highly accurate results and shorter downtime following this procedure are sure to satisfy.
