Q: What is SmartLipo Triplex?

A: Introduced by Cynosure, SmartLipo Triplex is a great advancement in the evolution of laser liposuction. It is the first multiplex triple laser lipolysis workstation, which provides higher absorption of fatty tissue with the same powerful tissue coagulation and skin tightening effect.

Q: SmartLipo Triplex vs SmartLipo MPX – are they different? Is there something unique about SmartLipo Triplex?

A: SmartLipo Triplex is the first laser lipo technology with expanded clinical capabilities, featuring three separate wavelengths — 1440, 1064 and 1320 nm – which can effectively melt the fat cells and tighten the skin. SmartLipo MPX is a laser lipolysis system that uses two wavelengths of 1064nm and 1320nm for fat removal.

The use of triple wavelengths with MultiPlex technology in the treatment, and its extended clinical capabilities make SmartLipo Triplex unique.

Q: Why is the SmartLipo Triplex so much better?

A: The latest laser innovation – the SmartLipo Triplex – is a device with high definition sculpting capabilities, which utilizes three laser wavelengths of 1440, 1064 and 1320 nm to liquefy fat and tighten skin. The blending of 1440 nm and the 1064 nm wavelengths works to deliver greater disruption of fatty tissue. Unmatched skin tightening through tissue coagulation is also achieved. Combining a superior mix of energy levels and wavelengths, SmartLipo Triplex with its innovative MultiPlex technology offers state-of-the-art body sculpting results that cannot be achieved with conventional liposuction alone.

Q: What is the technology behind SmartLipo Triplex?

A: SmartLipo Triplex integrates a 1440 nm wavelength to the SmartLipo MPX (dual wavelength laser lipolysis system). By combining the benefits of triple wavelengths of 1440, 1064 and 1320 nm with MultiPlex technology, it liquefies stubborn fat and tightens the skin to accomplish effective body contouring results.

Q: Which areas of the body can be treated?

A: SmartLipo Triplex is ideal for removing surplus fat from the waist or (love handles), chin, inner and outer thighs, hips, abdomen, ankles, back, arms, neck, and knees.

Q: Who is a good candidate for the treatment?

A: SmartLipo Triplex is suitable for people who are of normal body weight but have specific localized areas of fat resistant to dieting or exercise. He/ she must have realistic expectations regarding the results.

Q: Is it safe and reliable?

A: Yes, it is. It is a quick, gentle, and virtually painless procedure. As it uses triple wavelength laser, it delivers enhanced results and patient safety.

Q: Where is SmartLipo Triplex performed?

A: It is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia here at bodySCULPT®, Cynosure’s exclusive Smartlipo training center in Manhattan. SmartLipo MPX Triplex targets larger surface areas, reduces treatment time, ensuring successful fat removal and excellent skin tightening results.

Q: What are the Benefits of Smartlipo Triplex?

A: This new SmartLipo technology offers 20 times greater fat absorption than single wavelength lasers.

Q: When Can I Return to Work and My Normal Activities?

A: As it creates very small incisions, there is less pain associated with the procedure. Most patients are able to resume normal activities within just a few days.

Q: What can I expect during and after the treatment?

A: During the treatment session and the recovery period, you will feel little to no discomfort. The results with SmartLipo MPX vs Triplex are amazing, helping you attain the face and body you have always wanted.

Is laser liposuction right for me?

Smartlipo is safe and effective for many types of people with different needs. Our surgeons ask our patients to consider the following factors.

Smartlipo is safe: To earn FDA approval, Smartlipo had to pass rigorous safety requirements set forth by the government. Because of its safe and trustworthy track record, Smartlipo is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available today.

Smartlipo is effective when exercise fails: We hear from many liposuction candidates that certain areas of their body are completely resistant to exercise. The most common trouble areas are the love handles, tummy pooches, saddlebags, bat wings and neck waddles, among others. Genetic and gender-specific factors can play a role in how stubborn the fat is.

Smartlipo will improve skin laxity: The heat from the Smartlipo laser helps the skin tighten after treatment. Traditional liposuction methods do not include a skin-tightening component, giving Smartlipo the edge. Smartlipo’s laser technology causes the collagen within the skin to contract, resulting in tighter skin in the treated areas.

Smartlipo is affordable: Traditional liposuction requires general anesthesia, which is costly. Smartlipo is performed under local anesthesia and eliminates the fees (and health risks!) of general anesthesia. Also, Smartlipo can be performed at our AAAHC-accredited outpatient surgery centers in Long Island or New York City, circumventing hospital fees.

Smartlipo will improve your confidence. Imagine being able to wake up on a summer morning, slip on your bikini and confidently head to the beach. No fidgeting or covering up your figure! For our Smartlipo patients, this is a reality. They do need to maintain a healthy diet and get regular exercise, but they have extra motivation to maintain their beautiful Smartlipo results.

What areas of the body will Smartlipo treat?

Smartlipo can treat the following areas of the body:

  • Arms
  • Thighs
  • Love handles
  • Hips
  • Waist
  • Back
  • Neck
  • Pubic area
  • Knees
  • Abdomen
  • Buttocks
  • Male breast area

Will my Smartlipo results be permanent?

To answer that, consider that adults do not create new fat cells. As we gain weight, our existing fat cells simply get larger as they fill up. Smartlipo laser liposuction actually removes most fat cells from the treatment area. They will not grow back. The remaining fat cells are prone to filling up with more fat in the future, should you gain weight, so we advise our liposuction patients to be vigilant with their diet and fitness routine.

In summary: Yes, fat removal with Smartlipo is permanent!

How many Smartlipo sessions will I need?

You will only need one Smartlipo session to see results.

Will Smartlipo treat my cellulite?

Smartlipo should dramatically improve the cottage cheese-like dimpling that characterizes cellulite.

How quickly will I see results after my laser liposuction treatment?

You can expect the treated area to look smoother and trimmer right after your procedure. You may have some local swelling, but this will dissipate within a few weeks. Results will continue to improve for several months.

What will my recovery from Smartlipo be like?

Downtime from Smartlipo is very brief. Many of our patients return to their normal routine within one to two days. If you’re busy with a lot of obligations, Smartlipo will easily fit into your lifestyle. Learn more about Smartlipo recovery.

How long does the procedure take?

Smartlipo treatment is relatively fast, considering how much it can transform the targeted areas. Single or smaller areas take 60 to 90 minutes, on average. Multiple or larger areas can take two to three hours.

What happens during a Smartlipo procedure?

Our Smartlipo surgeon will insert a very small cannula (about 1mm to 2mm in diameter) just beneath the surface of the skin, via a tiny incision. He will insert a laser fiber into the hollow cannula and move it back and forth to deliver the laser beam to the targeted area. The energy from the laser breaks up and liquefies the fat cells so they can be easily suctioned away.

The heat/energy from the laser beam also causes the skin’s collagen matrix to retract and tighten, resulting in a beautifully sculpted and smooth surface. Since the laser beam is so precise in its ability to target the fat cells, the surrounding blood vessels and nerves are largely untouched, so there is: a) less bleeding during the procedure; and b) very little bruising, swelling and discomfort afterward.

Once the targeted areas have been treated, the surgeon will seal the incisions using liquid stitches and apply a compression garment to minimize swelling.

Is laser liposuction painful?

Smartlipo patients do not experience pain during the procedure, thanks to local anesthetic. As the anesthetic wears off, there may be minimal discomfort that can be alleviated with Tylenol every four hours.

The Smartlipo website compares the post-operative feeling to “the aches and pains that follow a vigorous workout.”

Q: Is it safe and reliable?

A: Yes, it is. It is a quick, gentle, and virtually painless procedure. As it uses triple wavelength laser, it delivers enhanced results and patient safety.
