Results That Get Noticed

Smartlipo™ Julia’s Story

Like so many women, Julia Adams* was never really satisfied with her appearance.

“Whenever I would see myself in photographs, I would just cringe at all of the fat loose skin hanging under my chin,” said Julia. “I knew as I got older, it was only going to get worse.”

After commiserating with colleagues at work one day, one of her co-workers told her about a procedure being offered at Bella Rose Medispa that might help.

“Once I learned more about SmartLipo™, I decided right away to have my chin and neck done. I knew it was for me,” said julia.

SmartLipo™ is a minimally invasive, FDA-approved laser-assisted method for permanently destroying fat cells. As compared with traditional liposuction, SmartLipo™ requires only local anesthesia and has significantly less down time and side effects.

“I was a little nervous before the procedure but my experience was great,” said Julia. “Everyone at Bella Rose Medispa did a terrific job explaining every step. They were all very helpful and caring. I really appreciated that.”

Arbonne RE9 Advanced Firming Body Cream

All of Bella Rose’s SmartLipo and Affirm Laser patients are sent home with a complementary bottle of Arbonne’s RE9 Advanced Firming Body Cream (retail value $68).

It was also important to Julia that she could trust Dr. Harmon. “She was so realistic about results. She did a great job explaining that SmartLipo™ is body sculpting but it isn’t the same as getting a facelift. I really liked that I wasn’t overpromised results,” she said.

SmartLipo™ patients typically experience a quick recovery and can return to work and normal activities within a couple of days. Julia’s experience was no different.

“My recovery was quick and problem free. I was so excited to take off the bandages. When i did, my first thought was ‘all of that stuff is gone.’ It was such a nice feeling,” said julia.

An even nicer feeling was the reaction Julia got from a colleague one day. “A co-worker of mine walked by me and did a bit of a double take. I could tell she noticed my appearance had changed some how. That felt great!”

For anyone considering SmartLipo™ Julia encourages them to go for it. “I really like how I look and am very happy with my results. I would do it again in a second. It is well worth it!”
