Discreetly Delete That Problem Area on Your Face
February 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Are your facial features losing the battle against gravity? Or is weight gain causing all your fat to pool under your chin? For you, there is SmartLipo! This simple fat-removal procedure helps you subtly beautify your chin and neck, redefine your jawline, and rejuvenate your profile.
SmartLipo is a better way to reduce fat in your lower face and neck. Unlike traditional liposuction, SmartLipo encourages your skin to tighten after the procedure. This means that with one procedure, you can decrease the fat while also encouraging your skin to naturally lift and hug the newly sculpted area. No second procedure required. SmartLipo is the most discreet and simple way to remove that double chin.
Preparing for SmartLipo
For many the stress of a beauty procedure isn’t just about the procedure, but how it interferes with the rest of your life. With SmartLipo, there’s no need to reshuffle your entire life for a serious surgical procedure. This procedure targets small problem areas—so only localized anesthesia is needed. That means no general anesthetics and no hospital admissions. No need to find a babysitter and no need to find a long-term post-op caretaker. No need to take weeks off work. And certainly no need to fib about going on a fabricated vacation.
SmartLipo allows you to remove the fat that time has deposited into your face with a procedure that can run as short as 45 minutes.
The SmartLipo Procedure
BodyLase’s SmartLipo results are natural as our surgeon Dr. Karl Schwarz focuses on sculpting your face with the care of artist. The tiny laser, inserted through a small incision, molds and edits your problem areas so that your overall look becomes harmonized and more youthful. For more about the procedure, watch our SmartLipo video featuring Dr. Karl Schwarz himself.
After SmartLipo
The industry loves to say that beauty comes at a price. But you’ll be happy to learn that the sacrifice you make with SmartLipo isn’t much. Unlike facelifts and traditional liposuction, SmartLipo gives you natural-looking results without a debilitating recovery process.
There is little to no scarring and no stitches are required as only a small incision is needed. Also there is less bruising and swelling as the procedure itself actually encourages your body to heal faster. The average downtime is about 2-4 days.
During recovery, minor bruising clears within a few days and for some even within hours. Swelling usually dissipates within one week. After the swelling clears, your skin begins to tighten and the newly created collagen begins to fully take effect. This is when your natural results begin to shine.
With traditional liposuction or a facelift, your face would need weeks or even months to heal. During this time you’d be swollen, bruised, riddled with pain and restricted in activity. Now with SmartLipo, you can enjoy a faster recovery period with far less pain. Many patients can return to work after a few days after a procedure.
Discreet Rejuvenation
SmartLipo is a great option for removing lower facial fat. It can help you regain your natural beauty without the lengthy downtime and painful recovery. To further assist you in rejuvenating your face with the most discreet procedure, our BodyLase spa has a back door exit! We can help you keep the secret to your newfound radiance. After all, no one ever has to know.
Remove the Fat: Laser Liposuction to Spot Treat Problem Areas
January 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Remove the Fat with SmartLipo
Smart Lipo is an extremely flexible procedure for women and men who have small areas of fat. This laser liposuction improves body contour without extensive surgery and downtime. Others who have already had a liposuction procedure turn to Smart Lipo to subtly refine their results for the ultimate in fine-tuning.
Get Rid of Love Handles
Fat stores in the area around the waistline causing bulges just above the top of your favorite jeans. Your shirts fit a bit too snug. Maybe it’s about vanity, but getting rid of those “love handles” will help you feel better about yourself. Plus you clothes will look better on you.
Smart Lipo Laser Liposuction dissolves fat with gentle laser energy. This innovative laser body contouring procedure allows you to tighten and shape your body. The results are a slimmer look and improved skin tone.
Suck Out the Fat
Dieting as a whole causes weight to be lost across the entire body. But when you want to spot teat a specific area, like the back, thighs, stomach and even butt, Smart Lipo is the way to go.
Fat removal technology has come a long way since its inception. The Plastic Surgeon who is performing the procedure is the most important when it comes to results.
With traditional liposuction, the skin tends to hang and is too loose. With Smart Lipo, the laser energy interacts with the skin which results in proper skin shrinkage and tightening, thus significantly reducing sagging and loose skin.
Slim the Stomach
There are only so many sit-ups one can do to shape the tummy and create that six-pack effect. When you have that hard to lose areas of fat, especially on the stomach, Smart Lipo is a perfect solution.
Permanently destroy fat cells below the surface of the skin with this laser technology used by plastic surgeons. It is important to note that liposuction itself is not a weight-loss tool but can improve the shape of the body.
Streamline Your Arms to Remove “Bat Wings”
Smartlipo is probably the best way to get rid of unwanted fat on the arms. In order to ensure the best results, the quality of the skin needs to be in good standing. The more elastic the skin, the better the Smart Lipo results. Smart Lipo does tighten the skin up to some degree.
SmartLipo is best for healthy people who are not excessively overweight or who are of reasonably average weight but who have specific localized areas of stubborn fat and who want some body contouring. To see if you are a candidate for Smart Lipo, schedule a free consultation.
SmartLipo Before and After

SmartLipo is a less invasive laser liposuction that offers terrific body contouring for those areas that just don’t respond well to exercise and dieting.
Death to the Random Little Fat Pouch
December 30, 2011 By 2 Comments
So you’ve tried all the diets of yore and eaten all the super foods of health lore. But nothing you do tackles those pesky pockets of stubborn fat. You’ve combined aerobic exercise with toning circuits. You’ve even cut fried foods and chocolate out of your diet. But nothing, you feel that absolutely nothing in this world, will reduce that one little region of fat. Not all hope is lost, hun, believe me. Because there is an answer.
Your turkey waddle, your bat wings, your kangaroo pouch, your saddle bags, your cankles, your thunder thighs, your muffin tops, and your flabby knees. Whatever random pouch of chub that has taunted you your whole life can now be a thing of the past with just one 60-minute session.
More effective than non-invasive treatments and better than other invasive treatments, SmartLipo delivers visible results in one session.
The process is gentle. Local anesthesia is administered. A small incision is made at the target site. A small tube sized about 1-2 mm in diameter is inserted into the region. The attached laser fiber gently radiates heat that melts fat cells, closes blood vessels, and stimulates collagen production. The small tube aspirates the fat immediately just as it’s melted. This painless procedure is conducted while you are awake. All the above ensures that downtime is minimal and that the sculpting process is accurate. In the end you enjoy a sleeker, smoother shape that streamlines your body’s natural form.
So what does this all mean? How is this different from other invasive fat-reducing procedures? Well, for starters everything occurs in one single step. After the procedure, SmartLipo patients can return to their regular routines after a day or two — unlike traditional liposuction patients who suffer the ordeal of a long recovery period of many weeks and sometimes months.
During a SmartLipo procedure, fat is immediately aspirated through the slender cannula as it is literally melted away by the laser. This key step minimizes the stress placed on your body’s system. In other words, because the fat is pulled out of your body, your liver doesn’t need to work overtime to filter it out.
While the laser is melting away fat, it simultaneously cauterizes local blood vessels. This step actually reduces the amount of bleeding, bruising and swelling that would occur during the recovery period. As a result your healing time is reduced with SmartLipo. And this means you get to enjoy your results sooner.
The little laser that’s inserted deep into the subcutaneous layer also reawakens local collagen cells. As a result, SmartLipo patients experience an increase in collagen production. So what does this actually mean? This means no loose skin. After other fat-reducing procedures like liposuction, many patients deal with the woes of excess skin—loose, flabby, unsightly. The is not what you’d want after undergoing a procedure for a sleeker, slimmer body. Sadly, the only option for those individuals is a procedure for excess skin removal. Luckily with SmartLipo none of this is needed. Thanks to laser stimulation, as the fat cells are reduced, the surrounding skin will tighten and conform to the new shape.
Permanent fat removal is another great aspect of SmartLipo. Once the fat cells in your targeted region are obliterated, fat will not return to this spot. If you were to ever gain weight again in the future, the fat will accumulate elsewhere.
At BodyLase our resident plastic surgeon performs all SmartLipo procedures. Renowned for his great sculpting, Dr. Karl Schwarz always carefully studies each individual to create a trim new look that works just for you.
Patients who garner the best results from SmartLipo are those who are in great health and exercise regularly. Candidates are typically within 25 pounds of their ideal weight. SmartLipo successfully targets those small local fat deposits that are resistant to a healthy diet and exercise.

Holiday Party Countdown to a Fabulous New You!
October 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Did you company just announce the next Holiday party?
You’re probably wondering what you can do in the next 60 days to improve your appearance.
Remember that MasterCard ad from years ago? It was one of those “lace skirt, $200″, “lipstick $10″ campaigns, and the kicker was something like, “Look on high school boyfriend’s face: priceless.” It seemed to embody all the promise of the Holiday Party – the woman was so regal, so poised, so stunning, so exactly perfectly right in her lace skirt and $10 lipstick. She came, she saw, she conquered – all without trying too hard. So are holiday party expectations created.
We’ve got some suggestions so you can show up and conquer!
New Hair Style
If you’re trying out a new cut or a new stylist, schedule a 10-15 minute consultation when you book the appointment. The stylist and the colorist need to see what your hair looks like dry and styled as you typically style it. This tells them a lot: How much time you really put into your hair each day, how your hair dries and how healthy your ends are.
Even if you’re meeting with the same stylist you’ve used before, a consultation is important. The goal of a consultation is to make sure you and your stylist are on the same page before drastic changes are made to your look.
Step out in style to your company's holiday party
Start an Exercise program or join a gym.
Starting a fitness program may be one of the best things you can do for your health. Physical activity can reduce your risk of chronic disease, improve your balance and coordination, help you lose weight — even improve your sleep habits and self-esteem.
Buy a new outfit that is figure-flattering.
Learning how to dress for your shape is not difficult—if you know the fashion rules. Use these chic techniques to flatter your figure and embrace and dress your body, flaws and all. Whatever, your size or shape, you’ve uncovered a fashion prescription to heal yourself from a negative body image, dress for your shape.
Spa Facial
Our luxurious facial treatments are designed to nourish, exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. With relaxing facial, neck and scalp massage, facials are a wonderful antidote for tension and problem skin.
Obagi Skin Care
Obagi is a uniquely powerful skin care line that offers a wide range of benefits, including anti-aging and rejuvenating actions. The range features many regimens that work together to achieve a targeted goal using high-quality, potent ingredients and well-researched technologies.
The Obagi system may help: diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; increase smoothness; reduce pore size; improve elasticity; generate a balanced, even skin tone; normalize oil production; correct blemishes; reduce age spots and other hyperpigmentation; increase the skin’s own ability to hold moisture; and increase the skin’s tolerance to external factors.
Chemical Peels
These peels remove the top layer of old, dry, dead skin cells to allow the newer, younger, fresher skin cells to move to the surface. The result is a vibrant, glowing appearance and fresher skin with restored luster.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical exfoliating treatment that will improve the texture and appearance of your skin.
During a Microdermabrasion treatment, a fine spray of medical-grade corundum powder crystals is showered onto your skin. These crystals are then gently suctioned away, along with the old, dead skin cells, leaving a fresh and glowing appearance. At the end of your treatment, you will be absolutely amazed at how soft and smooth your skin looks and feels!
Get Rid of Cellulite with SmartLipo
Smartlipo
If you exercising isn’t getting rid of cellulite in certain areas of your body, consider SmartLipo. This procedure is less invasive than regular liposuction but just as effective. The downtime is minimal so you can get right back to your regular routine quickly.
Wrinkle Fillers
Erase your wrinkles with Botox and Juvederm. These fillers are injected just under the skin around your eyes and mouth.
Ever since the FDA approved Botox for cosmetic, women (and men) have been singing Botox’s praises. The masses aren’t deterred by its short shelf life because they have found the fountain-of-youth. The magic of Botox for stopping wrinkles where they start is blocking the nerves that contract muscles. The result softens existing wrinkles and prevents them from deepening.
Full, Thick Eyelashes
You may be surprised to know that medical journals have linked thinning and loss of eyelashes to aging. LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for thinning lashes used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.
Eyelash Extensions are another way to achieve thicker, fuller, longer eyelashes. Make your eyes stand out with new eyelash extensions. We call them “flirtable” eyes.

August 15, 2011 By 7 Comments
SmartLipo Before and After Stomach
Last week’s Tuesday Talk was on SmartLipo. BodyLase Med Spa is a leader in the Raleigh, Cary, and Fayetteville NC Med Spa area on Liposuction and SmartLipo. SmartLipo is a cutting-edge technology that melts and liquefies fat to improve your body contour.
Women and men can both benefit from SmartLipo. The abdomen, “love handles”, and chin are our most requested areas for treatment.
Dr. Karl Schwarz is a board-certified plastic surgeon who performs all of our SmartLipo procedures. He is a results-oriented plastic surgeon with a sharp esthetic eye. He is highly recommended for the skill he brings to the procedure.
Are you wondering if you are a good candidate for SmarLipo? If you are in good health, within 25 pounds of your ideal weight, and have stubborn fatty areas that just won’t respond to diet and exercise.
You will see immediate results with one treatment. Plus the down time is very minimal. Most people are back at work within one to two days of the procedure. The incisions are tiny so any scars will be very small.
SmartLipo is “Smart” because the laser heats the skin, which tightens flabby areas, reduces bruising and has minimal down time. In fact, some patients have returned to work the very next day! SmartLipo is better than regular liposuction because you have less down time and don’t need to undergo general anesthesia.
Get your body back! Smooth those thighs, flatten out that tummy, and get rid of those “love handles” with BodyLase’s SmartLipo. If you are curious to know if you are a candidate for SmartLipo, give us a call.

Ultimate Swimsuit Dilemma: The Real Deal Behind Swimsuit Fat Bulges
April 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Water babies, before it’s time to slap on that suit and take to the beaches, let’s review our checklist. Bikini line? Smooth! Legs? Sleek! Body?… Wait, what’s this? You forgot to smooth out your curves! Apple figure, pear shape, hourglass curves. Whatever your figure—if you got it, flaunt it! But bulging, clumps and uneven skin are a totally different ball game altogether. And that game’s called fat.
Not all fat problems are created equal, we know. So here’s a guide that breaks it down.
We review the three main fat problems that plague our dreams of swimsuit perfection. Find out what kind of fat problem you have.
Holy Craters!
Dimples. So cute with smiles. Not so hot on thighs. Skin should be smooth, not like the pockmarked vista of an exotic lunar landscape. For cellulite sufferers, it’s all about texture… improving the quality of texture.
BodyLase offers TriActive Laser Treatments as a noninvasive way to reduce cellulite. How does TriActive work? Six diode lasers penetrate the skin to prompt collagen production. Boosted collagen levels will help increase skin elasticity and smoothness, thus reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Also to tackle that uneven texture at home, try using a firming cream. BodyLase recommends Vivite Body Daily Firming Lotion.
Smooth as Butter Special
Tackle cellulite and get smooth for summer. For the month of May, BodyLase is offering a Triactive Package at $150 off! Our Triactive Cellulite Reduction Package (regularly priced at $890) includes 10 treatments to see you on your way to a smoother look.
Battle of the Bulge
Sculptors want their picture-perfect sculptures to be free of random nicks and chips. Likewise you certainly don’t want awkward pockets of lumps and bumps as you prance around in your suit. Woefully, the smallest of fat bulges are often the most resistant.
SmartLipo literally sculpts your body, targeting those fat pockets which have long resisted your regime of diet and exercise. Thanks to the precision of our doctors and the small size of a SmartLipo tube, the trickiest fat pockets can be tackled. Small incisions and gentle movements mean that this treatment is minimally invasive. In other words, you get to reduce fat with very little down time!
Dangerous Curves Ahead!
Sometimes curves just get out of control. So much that it’s no longer about saucy seduction and more about flabby twists and turns. If you’re in this category, you can get on your way to trimming your shape in just a matter of weeks without even a mention of nip or tuck.
Zerona Laser treatments are great for overall slimming and body contouring. This is a non-invasive fat-burning laser that target problem areas. Zerona laser treatment liquefies fat within the subcutaneous tissue. After the fat is liquefied, your body’s natural detoxification system will filter the fat out of your body.
Waist, hips and thighs are commonly targeted all together. Many of BodyLase clients have experienced a reduction of 4-9 inches with Zerona.
Body Contouring Special
Shape your curves. For the month of May, BodyLase is offering our Zerona Laser Package at $250 off! Our Zerona Laser Package (regularly priced at $1800) include 6 treatments that will boost your body towards summer’s shipshape standards.
