Sleek MedSpa and Plastic Surgery offering Smart Lipo in New York

Sleek MedSpa and Plastic Surgery is now offering Smartlipo™ in its New York surgical center. Smartlipo, the latest technological advance in the removal of fat and the world's first and only laser-assisted lipolysis system, removes unwanted fat and tightens skin in a matter of minutes. With smart lipo, risks and complications are minimal compared with traditional liposuction.


"If you have areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise, then you're a candidate for Smartlipo," explained Dr. Christopher T. Chia, a fellowship-trained aesthetic plastic surgeon at Sleek Surgical Center in New York. "Ideal candidates are in generally good health, with a reasonable body weight and have realistic expectations for the results."

Traditional liposuction has been performed for years to treat large areas of the body where fat deposits have accumulated. Unlike the smart lipo procedure, complications of this surgery include extensive bruising, risks from general anesthetic and a slow recovery time.
Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure and can be performed under local anesthesia. A small laser is inserted causing small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising. As a result, smart lipo complications are rare and patients are able to return to normal activities in no time at all. Because general anesthesia is unnecessary, there are only minimal side effects and smartlipo risks are almost non-existent.

Sleek Introduces Mesotherapy

No matter how much we work at it, most complain of those little areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Everyone would love to have a simple way to get rid of them.
That's the appeal of a new, non-surgical procedure introduced by SLEEK MedSpa® called Mesotherapy, which provides targeted fat and cellulite reduction without the discomfort and recovery time associated with surgical procedures.


Through a series of injections, patients can recognize several inches of fat reduction as well as smoother texture and tone on cellulite-ridden areas. SLEEK MedSpa is a leading medical spa chain on the East Coast, with six locations in Florida, Boston and New York.
