Three-wavelength laser lipo machine Laser liposuction made a huge splash in the world of plastic surgery when it was approved by the FDA a decade ago. As the technology continues to advance, additional wavelengths are being used for more effective fat melting before the suction process.

The SmartLipo Triplex is "the first laser lipolysis system that uses three wavelengths, which can be customized by the surgeon, to permanently destroy fat cells and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production," says the company. Doctors associated with the brand claim it is "40 times more effective at destroying fat cells than any other laser lipolysis system on the market today."

Again, as with any medical procedure, weigh all the options and speak with a medical professional.

I've tried the Keratase and it's great at protecting my new hair color.

Wish I could afford the high tech machines...However definately not sold on any of the products. Sunscreen, antioxidants always good regardless of product name. Just make sure it is housed in a container that will not allow it to become useless.....a tube that is opague or pumb bottle that is not clear.
