You’ve
made a decision…it’s time to do something dramatic
about your appearance. You’ve been working out hard,
eating all the right foods, and you’ve lost some weight.
You look in the mirror in frustration. Time and gravity have
caused your neck to droop, creating a double chin and sagging
jowls. Your stomach only flattens so much and your love handles
just won’t budge any further-- you’re at an impasse. ProLipo
PLUS™ may be the answer!
In 2001, Dr. Fredric Stern became one of the few cosmetic
surgeons in the Puget Sound and Seattle area to offer microcannular
tumescent liposuction, using the smallest instruments available,
performed under completely local anesthesia. With the
advent of power-assisted liposuction devices, Dr. Stern then
combined the use of microcannulas with the enhanced fat removal
capability of the Stars™ power- assisted system.
With the FDA approval of the Erchonia™ low- level laser
in 2003, Dr. Stern was the first cosmetic surgeon in the Puget
Sound area to perform laser -assisted liposuction using this
new, FDA-approved device. In FDA trials, the Erchonia™ laser
demonstrated greater fat removal, less post-op discomfort,
less swelling and quicker recovery than traditional liposuction
techniques.
As a pioneer in laser-assisted liposuction techniques,
Dr. Stern and the Stern Center are excited to offer the latest
advance in laser-assisted liposuction using Sciton’s
new ProLipo PLUS™ laser.
Combining these three advances, Dr. Stern is the
first cosmetic surgeon in the region offering both internal
and external laser-assisted liposuction surgery.
This revolutionary advance in liposuction surgery offers all of the advantages of microcannular tumescent liposuction— small
incisions, no sutures, minimal down time— with the
enhanced fat removal capabilities of the new Zerona™ low
level laser and the state-of-the-art fat melting and internal
skin tightening effects of the dual wavelength ProLipoPLUS™ laser!

And just like simple microcannular tumescent liposuction,
Dr. Stern’s dual laser technique uses the same small
cannulas and may be done under completely local anesthesia.
Most people are able to return to work and normal activities
in days!
Depending upon your individual case, the state-of-the-art Zerona™ low-level
laser may either be used alone to perform incision-free,
no down time liposculpture, or as a way to greatly enhanced fat removal
during liposuction surgery, as discussed above.
For those with a moderate amount of loose skin, we also offer
post-operative treatments using our SkinTyte™ laser to
maximally firm and tighten your skin.
Whether you elect to undergo our state-of-the-art dual
laser assisted liposuction surgery, or our
new no incision Zerona™ laser liposculpture
procedure, Dr. Stern counsels that liposculpture and
liposuction are contour enhancement procedures, not weight
loss methods, nor are they substitutes for a healthy diet
and a consistent, vigorous exercise regimen.
All of our surgical procedures are performed in
our Washington State Licensed, Joint Commission certified
surgical facility where your safety and comfort are our
paramount concerns.
Call today to schedule an appointment for a consultation to see
if you are a candidate for these exciting state-of-the-art procedures!
