Laser assisted liposuction, a recent advancement in liposuction science, is known for its obvious benefits over traditional liposuction – minimally invasive, ability to handle inelastic skin, and typically speedier recovery. SmartLipo and Cool Lipo are examples of liposuction modalities that are laser aided. SmartLipo can be considered a better solution for fat removal than Cool Lipo, in several respects.
SmartLipo and Cool Lipo – the Similarities
Both these procedures are suitable for persons wishing to get rid of obstinate fat that has responded unsatisfactorily to exercise and weight watching. Both offer the common advantages of fat emulsification, conservation of fragile tissues, and gradual tightening of the skin. Both can be used on people of all colors, ages, skin types and shapes; and ensure minimal bruising, discomfort, pain, and downtime.
How SmartLipo Wins
SmartLipo is the sole laser aided system of lipolysis that offers a minimally invasive and ground-breaking course of action for fat elimination.
• FDA Approval – SmartLipo was the first to get the approval (November 2006) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Cool Lipo was cleared by the FDA only in January of 2008. So for patients who want technology that has been recognized and known to meet high quality standards for a longer time, SmartLipo is the right solution.
• Dual Platform Laser MPX – Unlike Cool Lipo, SmartLipo utilizes a dual platform laser MPX (SmartLipo MPX) in which one is used for firming the skin and the other for liquefying fat. This is advantageous to the operating surgeon as he can alternate between the two blends depending on the quality of skin and body type of the patient. Both wavelengths can even be used simultaneously.
So, if you want a cool looking body; SmartLipo would probably help you better than Cool Lipo.

Like many others, I had heard about the groundbreaking SmartLipo treatment and was considering getting some work done on my flabby upper arms. However, I was clueless as I didn’t know about any doctors who offered SmartLipo in my area – New York City. My friend told me about the SmartLipo™ Plastic Surgeon Directory and I decided to give it a try. I must say that I am grateful to the brilliant minds behind this directory for putting me in contact with Dr. Christopher T. Chia of Park Avenue Smart Lipo™.
Another thing, if I had any worries at all about the procedure, all of them were quelled because of the wealth of information that was available on the site and which helped me make up my mind. About the plastic surgeon - he seemed to work a kind of magic with his hands. He not only slimmed down my arms with SmartLipo but also gave them a smooth, beautiful shape.
