Dr. Howard was asked to give a presentation on SmartLipo to Atlanta area physicians and staff. In his presentation, the new TriPlex system was introduced for the first time. This new system offers a 1440 nm laser which is a very efficient wavelength for targeting fat tissue while sparing other tissues of unwanted harm. Dr. Howard is on the Speakers Bureau for Cynosure, Inc., and both educates and teaches the art of laser liposuction to qualified physicians in the USA.

Cynosure has recently announced the latest model of their laser liposuction device. The newest design expands the laser housing to three wavelengths from their previous two model version. The added wavelength adds significant efficiency to fat removal while preserving the benefits of blood vessel coagulation and the ability to generate heat and obtain collagen remodeling. Dr. Howard will be one of the first physicians in the country to have this new design.

Dr. Howard will give an informational and educational seminar to physicians and their staff, on SmartLipo and laser lipolysis, on November 14, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. He will be discussing the history and development of laser lipolysis, current applications of the procedure, and his own personal approach to SmartLipo. Dr. Howard is on the Speaker’s Panel for Cynosure, the parent company of SmartLipo. He is a regional trainer for SmartLipo and continues to aid in the development and application of laser lipolysis.

Maria’s Story

“I have to say that I had the best experience with Dr. Howard and his staff, from the minute I contacted them expressing interest in their SmartLipo procedure until the most recent visits. Kerry has the most amazing personality that makes you feel comfortable with any decisions, and was very helpful with all the questions I had. Krystyna was also great assisting Dr. Howard during the procedures and they make you feel like you have known them forever. As for Dr. Howard, I have to say that he is an amazing surgeon. I am extremely pleased with his work. You can tell how much he enjoys what he does and how much he cares for his patients. He performed SmartLipo on my back and love handles and I will definitely recommend Dr. Howard to anyone who is thinking about having plastic surgery.
