Treatment of cellulite using a 1440-nm pulsed laser with one-year follow-up.
BACKGROUND Cellulite is characterized by a thickened hypodermal fat layer, along with hypodermal fat lobules that extend upward into the dermis, expanding and stretching the fibrous septae that separate the fat lobules. Eventually, the septae sclerose, contract, and harden, holding the skin at an inflexible length while the surrounding tissue continues to expand. OBJECTIVES The author evaluat...
متن کاملThe twister fiber: a comparative study of tissue interaction between this novel fiber and the side-firing fiber using the 980 nm laser in bovine kidneys.
Twister fiber has been recently introduced to convey the 980 nm laser. It is an end-firing fiber with terminal angulation. Theoretically, this fiber has many advantages over the standard side-firing fiber. Tissue characterization for such fiber has not been performed until now. It is important to carry out such a task to better understand the performance of this type of laser using this new fib...
متن کاملComposite Cavity Fiber Laser with Asymmetric Output Intensity and Wavelength
The composite cavity fiber laser (CCFL) is relatively simple in its fabrication, as it is essentially three wavelength matched Bragg gratings in a section of doped fiber. By using internal feedback with unequal sub-cavity lengths, unidirectional CCFLs with significantly asymmetric output power from its two outputs can be achieved. Preliminary results also show that it is possible for the lasing...
متن کاملTreatment of melasma using a novel 1,927-nm fractional thulium fiber laser: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND A 1,927-nm wavelength was recently added to the 1,550-nm erbium-doped fiber laser. This wavelength possesses a higher absorption coefficient for water than the 1,550-nm, conferring greater ability to target epidermal processes such as dyschromia. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel 1,927-nm fractional thulium fiber laser in the treatment of melasma. METHODS F...
متن کاملWide wavelength selectable all-fiber thulium doped fiber laser between 1925 nm and 2200 nm.
We demonstrate an all-fiber Tm(3+)-doped silica fiber laser operating at a wide selectable wavelength range by using different fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) as wavelength selection elements. With a specifically designed high reflective (HR) FBG and the fiber end as an output coupler, the lasing in the range from 1975 nm to 2150 nm with slope efficiency of >30% can be achieved. By employing a low ...
