Slim Lipo Vs. Smart Lipo: Which is Best?

I certainly agree with comments regarding credentials and qualifications of your plastic surgeon being of primary concern with regard to the outcome of liposuction, or any other plastic surgery procedure. Board certified plastic surgeons with many years of experience using traditional liposuction and lasers will give you the best advice and will ensure that you have optimal results from your surgery. You will notice from the comments on the message board that those individuals who did not go to a qualified surgeon are mainly those who are dissatisfied with their results.
Some of the confusion regarding SmartLipo vs. SlimLipo appears to be two-fold; most surgeons own one unit or the other giving them a bias toward that particular technology.
The original SmartLipo technology used a single laser wavelength for treating very small, localized areas of fat, and therefore did not have the benefit of tightening the skin.
SmartLipoMPX is the newer technology that offers dual wavelengths and therefore is capable of not only melting the fat, but also has greater skin tightening benefits. The SmartLipoMPX unit also is available with Thermaguide, which ensures that there is no over-heating of the skin, making it safer (more accurate heating with out burning of the skin) and better for skin tightening. I currently use the SmartLipoMPX and my patients have been extremely pleased with their results.
The use of local anesthesia, minimal bruising and short downtime are the primary benefits over traditional liposuction.

I have used slimlipo, smartlipo, ultrasonically assisted lipo all as a way of delivering energy to the area (which is converted to hear) to improve results. I remain unconvinced that any of the techniques is significantly better than negative pressure fat removal (old fashioned liposuction). Furthermore, there are no good studies to support predictable benefits from the various forms of lipo vs. another.
