There is nothing really smart about Smartlipo. It essentially uses a very small fiber about the tip of a pencil lead to deliver a laser energy to the fat. This destroys the fat. Some people leave the dead fat to be absorbed while others then follow up with traditional liposuction to remove the dead fat.
Is this really an advantage? It;s users claim superior skin contraction with less pain and bruising. However, this really remains to be proven. When the initial Smartlipo failed to deliver the highly touted results, the new generation Smartlipo MPX was developed.
In my opinion it is great for small areas and may give a slight advantage with precision. However, it comes at greater cost and time.
To give you an oversimplifed analogy, I have used elsewhere: imagine having to color in a sheet of paper. On one hand you are given a pencil lead and in the other hand you will be given a broad tipped magic marker. Which one do you prefer? Now if you had a very small post-it sized note to color in, it might not make a difference. Again, I apologize for the oversimplification.
