The first two or three generations of SmartLipo (depending on how you are counting) were not effective. 

Today with temperature controlled shrinkage of the subdermal layer the results are better in the patients who need skin shrinkage.  (Not all patients do)

Our present routine is to use it only on patients who need skin shrinkage due to stretch marks and loss of elasticity.

Most patients with good skin can be saved the additional expense and time of Smart Lipo and get an equivilent result.
