Company's New Smartlipo MPX 46 Watts Enables Physicians to Melt and Remove Larger Areas of Fat 50% Faster, with Superior Patient Safety
WESTFORD, Mass., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cynosure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYNO), a leading developer and manufacturer of a broad array of light-based aesthetic treatment systems, today introduced the multi-wavelength Smartlipo MPX 46 watts, the latest and most powerful advance in the company's acclaimed Smartlipo platform of minimally invasive workstations for LaserBodySculpting.
The 46-watt workstation enables a physician to liquefy and remove larger areas of unwanted fat in about half the time required by the original 32-watt Smartlipo MPX. Like the original Smartlipo MPX, the 46-watt workstation is equipped with ThermaGuide, the latest in Cynosure's proprietary SmartSense family of intelligent energy delivery systems. ThermaGuide is designed to work in harmony with the laser. It continually monitors the temperature under the skin, and controls the output of energy, helping to ensure that the treatment area remains within a safe and an optimal temperature range for fat removal and tissue tightening through tissue coagulation. Cynosure has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance to market the Smartlipo MPX. The company launched its 46-watt workstation at the recent American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's 42nd Annual Meeting.
'In my experience, no other laser-assisted lipolysis technology approaches the quality, safety or effectiveness of Cynosure's 46-watt Smartlipo MPX,' said John W. Decorato, M.D., a board certified plastic surgeon in Staten Island, NY. 'The nearly 50 percent increase in power allows me to treat larger areas, and multiple areas, with a faster response. Smartlipo MPX also is the only lipolysis technology on the market equipped with temperature sensing and control, a layer of safety that is unmatched in the industry.'
'With the introduction of Smartlipo MPX 46 watts, we believe that we have strengthened the competitive advantage of our laser lipolysis technology not only from the standpoint of efficacy, but also in terms of patient safety,' said Cynosure President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Davin.
Laser-assisted lipolysis with Smartlipo MPX is performed under local anesthesia, allowing a patient to go home the same day as the procedure is performed. 'Compared with liposuction, the return to normal activities is much faster following a Smartlipo MPX procedure,' Dr. Decorato said.
