Many people seek skin rejuvenation procedures after the onset of signs of aging and sun damage. For those who want to avoid plastic surgery options, Fraxel laser skin resurfacing procedure offers a safe, proven and effective non-surgical alternative. During the initial consultation, the laser specialist will discuss various aspects of the treatment, including its estimated costs.
The first goal of the treatment provider should be to help the patient make a well-considered decision about the procedure. Board certified plastic surgeons at MBody provide Fraxel fractional laser treatment to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other communities across the horizon.  
 

Price Comparison

The sticker price of Fraxel laser skin resurfacing will usually turn out to be lower than a plastic surgery skin tightening procedure. Surgical procedures typically involve general anesthesia and will have to be performed at a surgical center. This will add the fee of the anesthesiologist as well as the charges of the surgical center.
In case of Fraxel fractional laser treatment, the procedure will avoid both of these financial stipulations because it can be performed in-office without any need for general anesthesia. Fraxel laser skin resurfacing will involve minimal downtime, which can have additional cost saving implications for a working person.
 

Price Factors

The monetary amount of Fraxel fractional laser treatments can vary from one practice to another and even from one patient to another at the same practice in some cases. Some of the factors that will go into determining the actual cost include:
 
Location of the Practice
The cost of living index varies from one city to another, which has an impact on the average costs of most types of goods and services, including cosmetic procedures such as Fraxel laser. Therefore, patients should recognize the cost differences they may note in different regions, which could be due to variations in real estate costs, median household incomes, and local taxes.
 
Treatment Provider’s Expertise
If the Fraxel fractional laser skin resurfacing procedure is performed by a fully trained and experienced laser professional, who works under the supervision of a board certified plastic surgeon, it is worth choosing such a provider instead of someone who lacks experience or expertise but offers a low price.
 
Facilities and Personalized Care
A practice that offers state of the art laser technology and equipment as well as a range of facilities to ensure the patient’s complete comfort should be preferred. The dedication of the support staff and the personalized care and attention that a patient receives at a practice will also make a difference to the final outcome. Therefore, patients should look at the costs in view of the kind of facilities and standards of care they may receive.
 
Extent of Treatment
Some patients may require only limited laser treatment in a small surface area, involving two to three treatment sessions, while some others may require four to six treatment sessions of longer duration due to larger surface area. The sticker price in each case will vary.

If the fat tissue pockets in the body do not respond to diet or exercise, an individual may consider SmartLipo instead of traditional liposuction plastic surgery. SmartLipo is a minimally invasive body sculpting treatment based on a laser technique to target unwanted fat deposits and permanently eliminate fat.
Board certified plastic surgeons at MBody provide SmartLipo laser liposuction to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other cities in this part of the country.  

Avoiding General Anesthesia

SmartLipo is popularly called “Awake Liposuction” because it allows the patient to remain conscious throughout the procedure and be aware of their surroundings. The procedure is usually performed using only local anesthesia and mild sedation. Only the targeted area of the body is numbed while the fat reduction procedure is performed.
Typical risks associated with general anesthesia are avoided with SmartLipo. Some patients may have an underlying health condition, which can increase the risk of surgery when they are under general anesthesia. A few patients may also experience poor reaction to general anesthesia. These risks are simply avoided when a patient chooses SmartLipo instead of traditional liposuction plastic surgery.
General anesthesia will usually entail additional costs because it involves the services of an anesthesiologist or a registered anesthetist nurse. They will have to be present throughout the surgery in order to monitor the patient’s response to anesthesia. SmartLipo avoids this requirement because the patient is awake through the surgery.
Patients increasingly prefer ‘awake’ procedures such as SmartLipo because they feel they are more in control of their body, and the pre-surgery stress is much reduced when they know the procedure only involves local anesthesia and mild sedation. Furthermore, the post-operative recovery is faster and avoids the typical temporary discomfort and side effects associated with general anesthesia.
 

How does SmartLipo Work?  

Following the application of local anesthetic and sedation, the surgeon will create very small incisions in the targeted fat deposit areas. A thin tube will be inserted through the incisions to reach the deeper layers of stubborn fat tissue. A laser fiber is delivered through the tube, which will disrupt the fat cells selectively, and make it easier to suction out the fat in a less invasive manner.
As the liquefied fat is gently suctioned out, the body contours in the treated area will become slimmer and more even looking. SmartLipo also helps to stimulate the collagen fibers in the dermis, leading to skin tightening. Therefore, patients will not have to worry about sagging skin and dimpling following the fat reduction from specific areas. Some studies have shown that skin elasticity can improve by as much as 57 percent with SmartLipo.
The procedure results in minimal scarring and poses minimal risk of post-op complications because it is less invasive. Busy moms and working people prefer SmartLipo because the recovery period is short, and they can quickly resume their normal routine.
Experienced plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and nearby areas for SmartLipo.
