Dr. Robert Lowen is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is an experienced laser surgeon offering laser hair removal in the Silicon Valley. He is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, a professionl organization of plastic surgeons with extensive experience and specialization in cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Lowen's laser clinic has ten laser and intense pulsed light devices to treat a broad range of skin, aging, and cosmetic problems.
Dr. Lowen also uses the Smartlipo MPX for laser assisted lipoplasty done under local anesthesia.
Everything needs a structure. Your skin gets its structure—and its strength—from a fibrous protein called collagen. About 80 percent of your skin consists of collagen fibers. Collagen works in tangent with another protein, elastin, which provides skin its flexibility—its ability to stretch and then “spring back” to its original shape. Unfortunately, aging and sun exposure weaken collagen, eventually leading to some of the most tell-tale signs of advancing years: lines, wrinkles, and folds.
Several non-surgical skin treatments can help you can slow down and even reverse the breakdown of collagen in your skin. For example, laser therapy, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels can help stimulate the creation of new collagen. And dermal fillers can be strategically used to replenish lost natural collagen. New, more effective collagen-enhancing treatments and products become available every year. To learn about the wide variety of options available to you—and to determine which of the latest options is truly best for your skin—schedule a personal consultation with your physician. Do it today. Time—and the breakdown of your skin’s collagen—marches on!

I first learned about SmartLipo when I called Dr. Lowen's office and his staff informed me about Smartlipo. I found that I was very interested in the procedure because I had this area that would just not seem to lose any weight. At first I was a little apprehensive about it since it is very new but then I noticed that it was mentioned in a few newspaper articles.
When I went to my appointment with Dr. Lowen it was explained in detail on what Smartlipo is...."little to no pain", very little down time PLUS it would tighten the area. That is what made me decide.
I had SmartLipo on my abdomen area on a Thursday morning and was fine that evening (you do have to take it very easy for the three days mentioned) but I could walk around with no pain. My abdomen feeling was sore (it felt like after doing stomach crunches for the first time). Also, I had no need to take any pain medication at all.
I had very good results immediately it has only been two weeks and I know it will just keep getting better. I have to mention that Dr. Lowen made me feel very comfortable and his staff are very friendly and warm. I am so happy that I don't have to "suck it in" ha-ha.
I am positive that if you chose to do Smartlipo you will not be disappointed!
Cheers,
P.S.

After treatment of my upper arms with Smartlipo MPX I went home and worked on my laptop. The next day I worked a full day. I never needed pain medication, not even an aspirin, and I'm one who feels every bit of pain. The procedure was straight-forward and easy, and I am very happy with the results.
I see huge improvement in my arms. They feel better in clothes, and it's an incredibly nice feeling. I have a photo of myself taken summer of 2007 where my left arm is reaching upwards. I loved the photo but hated how my upper arm looked so I paid someone $35 to carefully photoshop it so the ugly hanging fat was gone. I remember joking how paying a pro to doctor up a photo was way cheaper than paying a doctor for plastic surgery. But now I have everything because in pictures and in real life my arms look good and feel great. I can't wait for the warm weather to really show them off.
Today I did a boot-camp style workout in a gym class. It was a wonderful feeling in every way.
An added benefit: you'll love Dr. Lowen's staff. They are the best!
