Procedure Info

Smartlipo MPX™ is a new laser-assisted liposculpture-liposuction technique that simultaneously liquefies fat cells while tightening the overlying skin. SmartLipo™ offers a faster, safer and less invasive alternative to other liposculpture-liposuction methods, with fewer side effects and a shorter recovery time.

Smartlipo MPX™ achieves dramatic results by delivering Nd:YAG laser energy to localized fat deposits in the face and body through a small incision. The laser ruptures fat cells, which drain away harmlessly while coagulating tissue on contact, stimulating collagen production for tighter skin. This also minimizes bleeding - resulting in less bruising. For a single area the procedure can usually be done in one 45-60-minute treatment session with local anesthesia.

Dr. Barnes also uses Smartlipo for minimally invasive surgery which has included: eyebrow lifting in men with male pattern baldness – avoiding visible scars; recontouring of raised scars on the forehead through hidden incision sites; reduction of malar sacs; and treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis (bromidrosis) resistant to conservative treatment.

• Faster recovery
• Minimal risk of side effects
• Less invasive and traumatic technique
• Safety
• FDA-approved
• Stimulates Collagen growth - tightens, tones, and smoothes skin
• May be used to treat areas previously untreatable by conventional means
• May minimize and eliminate the need for more extensive surgical procedures
• May be combined with other treatments to maximize the total effect.
