The Smartlipo laser-assisted lipolysis systems are highly efficacious for disrupting fat cells and tissue tightening through coagulation as part of a liposuction procedure.

• Given the cannula's small size and gentleness of the procedure, Smartlipo laser-assisted lipolysis is a minimally invasive treatment that only requires local anesthesia—enhancing client safety and reducing the likelihood of side effects.
• A laser fiber is introduced through a small cannula, delivering energy directly to subcutaneous fat cells-to disrupt them. The emitted energy also coagulates tissue, thus inducing collagen retraction and tissue tightening.*
• The Smartlipo laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately—resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising than conventional liposuction, for faster healing and recovery.
• Smartlipo supplements or augments traditional methods of liposuction treatment.
• Typically only one short treatment session is needed—enabling you to maximize your client throughput

Smartlipo Laser-assisted Lipolysis Wavelength Options

Smartlipo offers three distinct workstations for laser-assisted lipolysis. These separate workstations provide you with one, two or three wavelength options to maximize your procedure results. The determination of wavelength is based primarily on the chosen target’s ( or chromophore’s) affinity to absorb laser energy .

1064nm Smartlipo Wavelength: hemostasis in the blood vessels for less bleeding and bruising

Hemoglobin has a high absorption at the laser’s 1064-nm Nd:YAG wavelength. The pulsed structure of the Smartlipo at 1064-nm wavelength also provides high peak-power, which increases the efficiency of blood vessel coagulation. These two properties of the 1064-nm wavelength are designed to coagulate blood vessels during the laser lipolysis procedure which result in less bleeding and bruising.

1320nm Smartlipo Wavelength: absorbed by the water in the tissue located near the laser tip

The 1320-nm wavelength has a great affinity in adipose tissue. In addition the 1320-nm wavelength scatters minimally and is absorbed by water in the tissue to heat collagen, making it ideal for tightening tissue through coagulation.

1440nm Smartlipo Wavelength: 40X greater absorption in fatty tissue than all diode lasers on the market

Adipose tissue is composed of 75% lipids and 20% water. It is important to consider these absorption properties of all components of the tissue alone when selecting a wavelength for laser lipolysis. The 1440-nm wavelength’s absorption in adipose tissue significantly exceeds the absorption of other wavelengths. This high absorption of the 1440 wavelength translates to an intense photomechanical effect that helps to break-up fat cells mechanically, as well as thermally.

Figure 1 shows the absorption coefficients for each of these important laser lipolysis targets.

Blend 1440nm + 1064nm:
To effortlessly disrupt fatty tissue with less downtime

How does the 1440nm and 1064nm blend achieve superior results?

• Higher absorption in fatty tissue translates to a more intense photomechanical effect
• Power density concentrated at the tip of the laser fiber creates pressure filled micro-bubbles
• Fat cells are broken up mechanically as well as thermally when micro-bubbles disperse

Blend 1064 nm + 1320 nm:
To tighten tissue in subdermal layer with trusted Smartlipo Cynosure wavelengths

• Produces uniform thermal profile for superior tissue coagulation with tightening
• Tissue Tightening* has shown to be 57% more using Smartlipo plus liposuction than liposuction alone when 1320nm and 1064nm are used as reported by Barry DiBernardo, MD.
