What is Tickle Lipo?

Tickle Lipo, also known as N.I.L. (Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture) originated in Europe. This innovative liposculpture technology sets itself apart from traditional liposuction. There is a safety feature in place to ensure non-fatty tissue is not damaged. There is no heat or ultrasound is used; rather the infrasonic energy ensures healthy tissue remains for better skin retraction.

Benefits of Tickle Lipo

Tickle Lipo has significant benefits and advantages over traditional forms of liposuction.

This state-of-the-art technology allows for permanent and meticulous body sculpting with little to no discomfort and fast recovery time.

Modern technology, paired with the experience of Dr. Leslie Smith, ensures a comfortable and safe procedure without the need for a general anesthetic.

Effective in the removal of stubborn and unwanted fat – This state-of-the-art device liquefies and quickly removes fat cells without damaging any of the surrounding tissue.

Faster than traditional liposuction – The cannula motion assists in the painless delivery of local anesthesia, decreased procedural discomfort and shortened treatment times. The unique vibrating cannula speeds up liposculpture, making Tickle Lipo up to 25% faster than many traditional lipo procedures.

Quicker recovery – Recovery with Tickle Lipo is much easier and quicker than traditional lipo.

• Return to work the next day.
• Very little bruising and swelling.
• Resume normal (non-strenuous) activities almost immediately.

Almost pain-free – The unique infrasonic vibration disrupts the sensation of painful stimuli by activating the nerves that block the transmission of pain signals, thus blocking pain signals sent to the brain. This results in more of a tickling sensation, thus the name Tickle Lipo.

Safe – This state-of-the-art technology is so safe that it will immediately shut off if non-fatty tissue is contacted, ensuring only fat destruction.

Better contouring and smoothing results – Unlike other liposuction procedures, Tickle Lipo does not use heat or ultrasound which sometimes causes an uneven appearance. Because Tickle Lipo uses infrasonic technology only to break down fat cells, it has the added benefit of achieving greater contouring abilities, smoother results, reduced swelling and less bruising.
