Recently approved by the FDA, a dual wavelength laser sequentially fires 1064nm and 1320nm that melts fat more quickly and more effectively tightens skin.

Post-marketing Study of Smartlipo Procedure by Juva Skin Reveals Significant Skin Tightening
Cosmetic patients seeking out the best Smartlipo should be encouraged by a recent study of Smartlipo MPX. The study showed significant improvements in skin tightening and new collagen markers in patients who participated.
(PRWEB) – A cosmetic patient study is revealing significant results for the latest generation of Smartlipo.
Smartlipo MPX, a MultiPlex technology, blends dual-wavelength lasers to dissolve fat cells and tighten skin. Dr. Katz pioneered the original Smartlipo laser liposuction in the and led a clinical study on the new Smartlipo MPX to be published in a peer reviewed journal. One year ago, Dr. Katz became the first dermatologist in the nation to implement this Smartlipo procedure.
In this most recent post-marketing study, Katz, who is also Clinical Professor of Dermatology at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine, treated 20 subjects who reported unwanted skin laxity and localized fat. In five of these patients, Katz used temporary tattoo markings to measure skin tightening through surface area reduction, and used pre- and post-surgical biopsies to test for the presence of new collagen markers. The study revealed significant decreases in fat deposits, as well as an 18 percent reduction in skin surface area.
“What the study clearly tells us is that significant skin tightening is a realistic expectation with Smartlipo,”
Smartlipo MPX was developed by Cynosure Inc., which develops and markets a broad range of laser- and light-based aesthetic treatments. Katz’s Smartlipo MPX study was recently presented at the annual conference of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS).
NEW YORK – Dr. Bruce Katz, founder and medical director of JUVA Skin & Laser Center, has been selected as the first dermatologist to implement the Smartlipo MPX, the newest generation of laser liposuction. Smartlipo MPX is the only FDA cleared, dual-wavelength laser system designed to effectively liquefy fat and tighten skin through collagen remodeling. The innovative MultiPlex technology combines the 1064 nanometer and 1320 nanometer in one laser output, blending the workstation’s two wavelengths for optimal fat liquefaction and skin tightening results. Dr. Katz recently led a clinical study on the Smartlipo MPX that will be published in a peer reviewed journal shortly. Dr. Katz used the dual wavelength (1320 nanometer and 1064 nanometer) laser on patients with small tattoos and made a tiny incision in the skin, while threading the fiber-optic laser under the skin to the target area for vaporizing fat. Dr. Katz discovered new collagen growth on the biopsies taken from the patients and further results show a 20% skin tightening improvement in the areas surrounding the tattoo. According to Dr. Katz, "Smartlipo MPX Laser is faster and more powerful than the last generation of Smartlipo. The dual wavelength technology precisely targets larger areas on the body, causes less bleeding, swelling and bruising, and dramatically tightens skin around the treated area.” Smartlipo MPX reduces treatment time because it enables doctors to target larger surface areas than ever before, and can be used all over the body, including the abdomen, face, jowls, neck, arms, and thighs. Smartlipo MPX is less invasive, safer and more effective than traditional liposuction treatments.
