Sometimes hitting the gym is not enough.  For some people, to get rid of the fat in certain areas of the body is impossible, despite all the dieting and exercise in the world.  However, what many people don’t know are that advanced options for permanent fat removal available.  Some of the hottest liposuction alternatives are Smart Lipo MPX and Vaser Lipo.  

What is Smart Lipo MPX™?

The Smart Lipo MPX 46 watt is the newest line of Smart liposuction technology to hit the aesthetic market.  The Smart Lipo MPX combines two dynamic wavelengths for maximum tissue tightening and fat removal.  Unlike previous models of Smart Lipo, the MPX harnesses the power to quickly sculpt the body and tighten skin.  Compared to lipo, liposuction, lipo dissolve, and other lipo lasers, there is little to no downtime with the Smart Lipo MPX.

How does Smart Lipo MPX differ from Smart Lipo?

Most normal Smart Lipo machines use a 12-watt power, however as the technology progressed a 46 watt was created for the new SmartLipo MPX. What does this mean?  It means that SmartLipo MPX has more energy to remove fat vessels more efficiently in a faster amount of time.  Also, the SmartLipo MPX uses dual lasers, as opposed to one, which can rupture the fat cells more effectively, making sure that all the fat cells are broken, while maintaining the natural structure of the surrounding tissues.  The sophistication of SmartLipo MPX also works to tighten the patient’s skin as it ruptures the fat cells so that patients are left with firmer, tighter skin. The overall difference between the regular Smartipo and the Smartlipo MPX™ is to compare a Lexus to a U.S. Fighter warcraft. They are both modes of transportation, but the warcraft is much faster, efficient, and technologically advanced.   “I am absolutely thrilled to evaluate this technology.  I trained with the older models of Smart lip and there is no comparison to the SmartLipo MPX.  It is like driving an older car that uses a carburetor versus fuel injection.  The difference is obvious.” – Dr. Michael Escobedo. 

What is Vaser Lipo?

The ultrasonic technology of Vaser Lipo works by dissolving and removing fat cells throughout the body. Unlike traditional liposuction, Vaser Lipo specifically targets your body fat, reducing the amount of stress on other tissues in the body- such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue- significantly minimizing your recovery period.  In comparison to the earlier liposuction technology, patients who have used VASER experienced less pain, bruising, scaring and were able to return to their normal activities in just a few days. 

“After months of researching smart and laser lipo devices, I elected to introduce a revolutionary procedure to my clients. Vaser just happens to be one of my favorites and I am absolutely excited to offer the all new Vaser Lipo procedure” said Michael S. Escobedo, M.D.  “Other technologies disrupt the integrity of the connective tissue leading to skin laxity; tear or cauterize blood vessels leading to bruising and improper fluid accumulation under the ski; and may produce uneven results by failing to evenly remove fat tissue.  All this is minimized with the New Vaser Lipo”.

Who are candidates for Smart Lipo MPX and Vaser Lipo ?

SmartLipo MPX™ works for every area in traditional liposuction, but it really shines in removing stubborn fat areas to shape and sculpt the body.  SmartLipo MPX is highly recommended for people who want to treat gynecomastia (male chest fat), bra fat, neck fat, facial fat, mons pubis, love handles, abdominals, or general body sculpting.  

Vaser Lipo is used to treat the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, and chin.  Treatment sessions are generally between one to two hours.  Patients do not receive any sedation and can return to work the following day.  Patients generally experience satisfactory results within a few weeks after Vaser Lipo.

SmartLipo MPX™ is exclusively offered at Escobedo Skin Center in Austin, TX.  Great candidates for SmartLipo MPX are people who wish to eliminate isolated fat areas which can’t be eliminated through traditional methods.  For more information on these liposuction alternatives, visit www.EscobedoSkinCenter.com.  Call (512)347-9794 for a personal consultation with Dr. Mike today!
