SmartLipo - should I wait for a newer machine?
Hi,
I am considering undergoing smartlipo treatment. However, I have read that there is due to be a new smartlipo machine on the market from July 08.
Please could someone tell me how much effective the new machine is in contrast to the old? Further, if the new is more effective, I would like to ensure that I receive treatment with the new. Please could someone advise me on the name of the new liposmart machine?
Thanks very much,
Rachael

Not much will change....
The initial changes/upgrades with the smartlipo machine have been increases in the wattage output. Then Cynosure came out with a machine that has two different laser wavelengths. Various competitors have come out with other machines "cool-lipo, etc..." that work on very similar mechanisms. I would tell you that there is little difference in these machines at this point. The higher wattage machines go faster but do not remove more fat, it just goes a little faster. I do not think that delaying your procedure by a few months will change your result, especially since you need to consider that you may be one of the first patients a particular surgeon has used the newer, quicker machine on. Also, few surgeons are upgrading their machines every few months (as the difference in machines are minimal) with expensive upgrades so if you want the newest you will need to ask the surgeon what exactly will be used and go from there. Good luck!
