SmartLipo MPX Technology
SmartLipo MPX uses the latest advancements in cosmetic surgery technology, which provide a safer, quicker and cost-effective method.
Pioneered in Europe, the SmartLipo MPX procedure is the first laser-assisted SmartLipo MPX procedure. SmartLipo MPX was approved by the FDA in November of 2006 and has quickly been labeled the cutting edge procedure in cosmetic surgery.
According to SmartLipo MPX ’s manufacturer, Cynosure, the SmartLipo MPX system has quickly become one of the most successful SmartLipo MPX procedures in the cosmetic surgery field for its use of cutting-edge technology.
With SmartLipo MPX , a hollow, pen-sized instrument called a cannula is inserted into a minor incision made by the surgeon. The cannula uses a small laser to liquefy the fat cells an area and drain them away. Because the cannula is only about 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm, SmartLipo MPX is a less invasive procedure, reducing the risk of bruising and promoting a quicker recovery. In addition, the cannula’s laser acts as a visual guide, helping the surgeon make more precise movements than typical SmartLipo MPX .
With a 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser, the wattage ranges from 6W to 18W, and the higher the wattage allows for a faster procedure. As the laser liquefies fat cells, the laser will simultaneously coagulate small blood vessels, preventing bleeding and swelling. A hollow cannula is also used to suction out the fat cells and speed the recovery process.
