Overview
Redefining Laser Lipolysis
Smartlipo TriPlex is the market standard in laser lipolysis, offering three unique wavelengths: 1064 nm, 1320 nm, and 1440 nm. These wavelengths can be used in single or blended mode using Smartlipo’s MultiPlex™ technology and unique SmartSense™-ThermaGuide™-ThermaView™ intelligent delivery systems, to deliver optimal patient outcomes.
By customizing the wavelengths based on the treatment and patient type, Smartlipo Triplex offers:
- Tissue retraction through soft tissue coagulation1
- Reliable, controlled energy delivery
- Reduced liposuction procedure time and patient downtime
- Less bleeding and bruising than traditional liposuction
- High-definition body sculpting capabilities
1064 nm, 1320 nm, and 1440 nm
Smartlipo TriPlex—An Evolution in Efficiency
The addition of the 1440 nm wavelength is an evolution in Smartlipo technology, delivering a wavelength with 40X greater absorption in adipose tissue. The 1440 nm wavelength significantly exceeds the performance of all other diode lasers and allows you to treat a broad spectrum of patients and treatment sites. Smartlipo TriPlex meets market demand for minimally invasive procedures with a single platform.
Smartlipo TriPlex and MPX technology provide unique wavelength options to deliver predictable and reproducible patient outcomes:
- Blend 1064 nm and 1440 nm to effortlessly disrupt fatty tissue with less patient downtime.
- Blend 1064 nm and 1320 nm to cause coagulation in the subdermal layer.
Smartlipo TriPlex Treatment Applications
Smartlipo Triplex delivers precision and versatility with wavelengths that are ideal for smaller and larger fat deposits, tissue retraction2, fibrous areas, or secondary liposuction cases. Smartlipo’s adipose-specific technology brings high-definition liposuction procedure capability to your practice.
Safely Deliver Smartlipo TriPlex Energy
SmartSense™-ThermaGuide™-ThermaView™ intelligent delivery systems are so intuitive, they can help you treat to your clinical endpoints and prevent over-treatment. In real time, the system provides clinical feedback while potentially minimizing complications with integrated temperature and motion sensing.
1,2 Intended for the surgical incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue.
