FAQ - SmartLipo MPX Triplex

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.

What are the advantages of Smartlipo MPX TriPlex over conventional liposuction procedures?

First, both treatments remove fat, but unlike Smartlipo MPX Triplex, conventional liposuction can leave behind loose skin. Second, because local anesthetic is typically used with Smartlipo treatments (instead of general anesthesia), you’re awake during the procedure—that’s a real plus, leading to a faster, easier recovery.  Smartlipo MPX Triplex can also create a sculpted look by defining waistlines in women and abdominal muscles in men (six pack).

 

 

How long does the SmartLipo MPX Triplex  procedure take?
The SmartLipo MPX procedure generally takes between 1 and 4 hours, depending on the treatment area.

 

Will the results be immediate?
Patients start to see improvements within a few weeks.  Skin will return to normal after a couple of months and the full benefit of the procedure is usually achieved in up to 6 months.

 

 How many treatments are required?
A single treatment is all that is required for most patients.

 

Does SmartLipo MPX Triplex hurt?
Using the latest technology, the smallest of incisions and only the use of a local anesthetic, bruising and a recovery period are kept to a minimum.  Very few patients will need more than an occasional mild painkiller during the recovery period.  The recovery for this procedure is usually quick and most patients will be able to return to work and their regular activities within a few days.

 

Will SmartLipo MPX Triplex cause scarring?
A tiny incision is made in the skin which will result in the smallest of scars.  Incision sites heal without stitches.

 

Will the results of SmartLipo MPX TriPlex be long-term?
Yes.  Results can continue to appear for up to a year.  The treatment area will have reduced fat cells and therefore future weight gain will be greatly reduced in that area.

 

Does SmartLipoTriPlex produce lasting results?

Yes!  Adults do not create new fat cells.  When a person gains weight, the fat cells expand.  SmartLipo MPX TriPlex permanently destroys the fat cells.  Should you gain weight, fat will not be deposited in areas that were treated.

 

Is there a recovery period?

Smartlipo MPX is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light bruising can occur, but you’ll be able to return to normal activities within a day or two.

 

How do I know if Smartlipo MPX TriPlex is right for me?

The best candidates for Smartlipo are women and men who are not significantly overweight, but have accumulated fat deposits—such as love handles, flabby upper arms, excess neck or facial fat or fat on the lower torso.  A consultation with the Smartlipo physician can provide you with the best information.

What If I've Already Had Liposuction?

The doctor has a high level of control with this body contouring technique, so we are able to subtly sculpt and contour, putting the finishing touches on your liposuction procedure. Many people who have had previous liposuction complain of irregular lumps and bumps. These are treated well with Smartlipo MPX.

Does Smartlipo Treat Cellulite?
