Smartlipo MPX™ Laser by Cynosure: Information for Laser Lipo Physicians

Laser body sculpting and contouring workstation

Use the Smartlipo MPX™ laser lipo workstation from Cynosure for laser liposculpture of the chin, jowls, neck, arms, male breast, abdomen, back, flanks, buttocks, hips, thighs, and knees.

Wavelength and Power

The Smartlipo MPX™ system has both 1064 nm and 1319 nm Nd:YAG source filters. This combination of wavelengths is desirable for blending different types of lipolysis. For example, the 1064 nm wavelength improves skin tone, acts on collagen fibers, concentrates on blood vessels and fat cells, and heats the skin more slowly. The 1319 nm wavelength targets water in the dermal collagen and melts the fat by bursting the cells, making fat extraction easier and also promoting skin tightening, while heating the skin more quickly. Used together, these wavelengths can both increase successful outcomes and patient throughput. Practitioners can use either wavelength alone or both together in MPX (MultiPlex) mode.

The 1064 nm laser outputs a maximum of 20 W of power, and the 1319 nm laser outputs 12 W. pulse durations are 150 µsec for the 1064 nm model and 212 µsec for the 1319 model laser.

FDA Approval

The Smartlipo MPX™ laser is approved by the FDA.

Delivery Mechanism

The Smartlipo MPX™ workstation uses a 600 µm fiber. It is also configurable for use with the SmartSense™ system by Cynosure. SmartSense™ is an intelligent handpiece delivery system that distributes precise energy. For example, if the handpiece stops moving, the laser stops firing within 0.2 seconds and resumes firing when the handpiece begins to move again. The Smartlipo MPX™ workstation does not require the use of the SmartSense™ handpiece.

Summary

The Smartlipo MPX™ laser is indicated for both fat removal and cellulite treatment. It is ideal for treating localized fat deposits on the face and body.
