SmartLipo TriPlex™

The most advanced body sculpting laser liposuction technique available in Long Island, New York.
Many times no matter what we do – that fat just won’t budge! Body contouring and body sculpting is today’s most popular cosmetic surgery procedure.  SmartLipo TriPlex™ is a less invasive way to remove unwanted fat and sculpt those areas of the body.  SmartLipo TriPlex™ is a laser treatment that virtually melts fat cells which is then suctioned away with some of it removed by the body’s lymphatic system. The TriPlex technology is updated from the original SmartLipo system in that it uses three wave-lengths of laser light offering better results – better fat removal, tighter skin and high-definition body sculpting capabilities. The laser method for fat removal and body sculpting has been used in Europe, Asia and South America for about 10 years and was approved by the FDA for use in the United States in 2006. Dr. Covey, in keeping with his mission to bring his patients the safest, most advanced proven treatments, is proud to make SmartLipo TriPlex™ treatments available to his patients.

Who is a good candidate for SmartLipo TriPlex™ ?
If you have areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise, then you’re a candidate for SmartLipo TriPlex™.  Ideal candidates are in good health, with normal body weight, an active lifestyle and have realistic goals and expectations.   SmartLipo TriPlex™ is excellent for removing fat from difficult areas of the body, is more efficient in removing fat from localized pockets which have proven resistant to conventional liposuction or exercise and offers exceptional high-definition body sculpting for fine-tuning waistlines and abdominal regions.

Which areas can be treated with SmartLipo TriPlex™?
SmartLipo TriPlex™ has been designed to treat localized pockets of fat in the following areas:

  • Waist
  • Abdomen
  • Chin (double or hanging chin)
  • Inner and Outer Thighs
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Upper Arms
  • Face (not around the eyes)
  • Male Breasts
  • Back of Neck
  • Pubic Mound

SmartLipo TriPlex™ – How It Works:
A very small cannula, or tube, about 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter, containing a laser fiber, is inserted into the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth delivering the laser’s energy to the fat cells - causing them to rupture and easily be liposuctioned away with some of it being carried away by the body’s lymphatic system. The laser energy also interacts with collagen in the skin which later causes the skin to tighten and shrink.

Because the cannula is so small, SmartLipo TriPlex™ is a minimally invasive procedure which can be performed under local anesthesia.  The laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising. So, recovery time is quicker than with traditional liposuction alone. 

After Treatment -What to Expect:
Most people experience minimal bruising and are pain free.  Dr. Covey may use a pressure dressing or compression garment depending upon the location of the area treated. The bruising goes away over 2-3 days and our patients typically return to normal activities within 24 hours.  The mild ache is easily managed with oral pain medication. Results are seen soon after your procedure as the treated area will appear tighter, compact and smaller.  It takes about 6-8 weeks for the skin and surrounding area to remodel and adjust to the body contour. Remodeling is a gradual process with best results seen after 2-3 months.

Your Personal Consultation and Personalized SmartLipo TriPlex™ Treatment Plan:
Before your treatment – you will meet with Dr. Covey to discuss your concerns and to establish realistic goals and expectations.  Dr. Covey understands that “one size” does not fit all and he will tailor a treatment plan for you.  You may benefit from SmartLipo TriPlex™ alone or may need to combine it with traditional Liposuction for the results you need.

It is possible to turn back the clock – and body sculpting/contouring is one of today’s most popular treatments.  Dr. Covey continuously searches for and then brings you the best options available today! He selectively chooses only cutting-edge treatments that are safe and effective.
