Actual Before and After Photos of SmartLipo

SmartLipo has revolutionized liposuction and made spot fat reduction available to a wider audience.

SmartLipo from Cynosure is known industry wide as the gold standard of laser lipo. It was the overall winner of American Health and Beauty's Readers Choice Awards and has revolutionized liposuction as patients who were once terrified of the pain and downtime associated with traditional lipo now have a less invasive alternative.

The SmartLipo premise is simple, the fat is melted with laser light energy before it is suctioned out of the treatment area. The cannula used is very small and the laser is tissue selective so that other important tissue such as nerves and blood vessels remain undamaged. The procedure does not require general anesthesia, which is one of the largest risks associated with any surgery.

Furthermore, the thermal effect of the laser does more than melt the fat, it stimulates collagen growth providing skin tightening as well. One of the key disadvantages of traditional lipo procedures was the loose skin left after treatment. Now, patients who are having a small amount of fat removed will also have the skin over that area tightened, providing a more beautiful contour.

Since the first SmartLipo machine, there have been several improvements, the most recent being the SmartLipo Triplex. This machine is the first in the industry to provide three wavelengths for fat emulsification and collagen stimulation. Additionally, the ThermaGuide safety mechanism provides the physician the internal temperature constantly. This assures a high enough temp to stimulate the collagen without going too high and causing damage.
