How is SmartLipo Unique?
If you’re looking for an effective way to eliminate stubborn fat deposits, SmartLipo offers a cutting-edge, minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction.
At Greenwald Plastic Surgery, Dr. Joshua Greenwald provides this advanced treatment to patients from New York and Connecticut.
Dr. Greenwald, a board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, uses the SmartLipo Triplex system, the gold standard for laser liposuction. He is one of the few NYC-area surgeons with the specialized training and equipment to perform this innovative procedure.
What Makes SmartLipo Different?
SmartLipo stands out from traditional liposuction and other body contouring methods because it uses laser energy as a central part of the treatment process. The SmartLipo Triplex technology works in several unique ways:
- Liquifies Fat: During the SmartLipo procedure, Dr. Greenwald creates tiny incisions and places a thin micro-cannula (a hollow tube) under your skin into the fat deposit. He threads a laser fiber through the cannula and delivers controlled energy to the fat. It transforms into heat, triggering the fat cells to melt. Then, Dr. Greenwald suctions the liquified fat out of your body.
- Tightens Skin: The laser stimulates collagen production, helping to firm and tighten the skin in treated areas.
- Triggers Coagulation: The laser energy promotes blood coagulation, which means less bleeding and swelling.
- Minimally Invasive: SmartLipo requires smaller incisions than traditional liposuction, so it’s less invasive and allows for a faster recovery with less scarring after healing.
Although SmartLipo offers great results for the right candidates, it’s not necessarily right for everyone.
Is SmartLipo Right for You?
SmartLipo may be a great option if you:
- Have Stubborn Fat: SmartLipo could be a good next step if you’ve worked hard to lose weight and tone your body, but some stubborn fat deposits cling on.
- Need Small Fat Volume Reduction: SmartLipo is excellent for small, precise volume reduction in areas including the thighs, abdomen, arms, knees, neck, and cheeks. But traditional liposuction is often the better choice if you need dramatic fat reduction over a larger area.
- Maintain a Stable Weight: The ideal SmartLipo patient is at a healthy weight (or near their goal weight).
Dr. Greenwald evaluates your treatment areas and fat reduction goals to help you determine whether SmartLipo is the right choice for your needs.
