Target and eliminate stubborn fat with SmartLipo laser body sculpting. 

What is SmartLipo?

Many men and women feel frustrated when trying to shed excess fat. “Love handles,” “saddle bags,” “bat wings,” and jowls can all be difficult to target through diet and exercise. Even when you successfully lose weight, other concerns may arise, such as loose skin that has not bounced back due to a loss in collagen and elasticity. Our surgeons at Clevens Face and Body Specialists perform a highly effective procedure known as SmartLipo that addresses trouble spots, with Dr. Ross Clevens using the technique to refine the face and neck and our breast and body specialists contouring the body.

SmartLipo MPX by Cynosure goes by many names, including SmartLipo Laser Body Sculpting, SmartLipo TriPlex, laser-assisted lipolysis, and laser assisted body contouring. The procedure is the first laser assisted lipolysis system to be approved by the FDA for the safe breakdown of fats. SmartLipo is minimally invasive and offers many benefits over traditional liposuction, including better results, reduced downtime, and less discomfort. Additionally, unlike with other liposuction techniques, SmartLipo’s laser energy works to tighten the skin by coagulating underlying tissues. Firming the skin prevents dimpling and sagging that can occur when fat is removed.

How Does SmartLipo Body Sculpting Work?

SmartLipo technology blends two wavelengths of laser energy to melt unwanted fat deposits and tighten the surrounding tissues through coagulation. A laser fiber is guided by a small cannula and inserted into the targeted area through a small pen-tip-sized incision. Energy is directly delivered to subcutaneous fat cells, resulting in the disruption of the fat cells and destroying them. The fat is then removed with the cannula. The stimulation of collagen production that occurs with the delivery of the laser energy will immediately begin to tighten the skin.

Given the small size of the device, the minimal invasiveness of the delivery of the laser energy, and the gentleness with which the liquefied fat is suctioned out, only local anesthesia is used. The patient remains awake, but will not feel pain. The procedure is very safe and the risk of complication is greatly reduced. Coagulation of the blood vessels during the procedure results in less bleeding, as well as reduced swelling and bruising. SmartLipo is customizable to the needs of the patient. There are up to three wavelength options that may be utilized to maximize the results of the procedure.
