Cosmetic medicine made new strides with the latest body-sculpting device, SmartLipo Triplex. This highly advanced device makes use of three wavelengths (1440, 1064 and 1320 nm) to liquefy and absorb greater quantities of fat tissue, allowing plastic surgeons to yield better body contouring results.
NEWU Plastic Surgery was the first office in Austin to offer this advanced method of body contouring that simultaneously slims and tightens the body and improves the appearance of cellulite with minimal downtime.
Dr. Daniel Leeman, board-certified plastic surgeon and medical director at NEWU Plastic Surgery, focuses heat using specific wavelengths that allow him to sculpt with great precision and create desirable results for his patients.
This system is best for treating small areas of the face and neck, flabby upper arms, back, male breasts, waist, inner and outer thighs, hips, abdomen, knees, ankles and other areas of loose or lax skin. An ancillary benefit of the laser is that it stimulates collagen production, which leaves the skin firm and tight – a welcome side effect for patients looking to achieve a well-toned appearance.
The best candidates for the SmartLipo procedure are men and women who are not significantly overweight, and who have areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise.
“In a city like Austin where health and fitness is a priority, I see many patients who diet and exercise regularly, but can’t seem to eliminate stubborn areas of localized fat,” Leeman says. “Laser-assisted lipolysis is proving to be the best solution to target troublesome areas of unwanted fat. These patients are achieving results they never thought possible.”
Because it is minimally invasive, SmartLipo causes less trauma and has a faster healing time than traditional liposuction. The procedure is commonly performed under local anesthesia, which contributes to patients’ speedy recoveries.
“Patient downtime after traditional liposuction surgery is significant,” Leeman says. “However, with the new laser-assisted SmartLipo Triplex, my patients are able to return to work and normal activities in virtually no time at all without showing signs of surgery. Healing is significantly accelerated.”
Stephanie T., a NEWU patient who underwent the SmartLipo Triplex procedure in March, was very pleased with her results and surprised by the minimal swelling and soreness post treatment.
“I’ve had plastic surgery in the past, and I was blown away by my recovery time after SmartLipo,” she says. “My transition back to work was seamless and very comfortable. With so much personal attention, Dr. Leeman and his staff made my whole experience stress- and worry-free.”
The SmartLipo Triplex has been approved by the FDA for laser-assisted lipolysis. It is also approved for incision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue. The safe and effective treatment may be used to treat areas previously untreatable by conventional liposuction, and it can minimize or eliminate the need for more extensive surgical procedures.
