i ntroduction: liposuction using laser is now one of the most common cosmetic surgery. this new method has minimized the disadvantages of the conventional liposuction including blood loss, skin laxity and long recovery time. benefits of the new liposuction methods which include less trauma, bleeding and skin tightening prove the superiority of these methods over the traditional mechanical metho...

results the simulation results showed that the penetration depth and temperature rise of 980 nm wavelengths were different from those of 1064 nm wavelength. it appeared that 1064 nm wavelength penetrated to deeper layers of tissue compared with 980 nm. moreover, temperature rise during 1064 nm irradiation led to temperature increase in allowable ranges. the findings proved the reason why 1064 n...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the rapidly growing use of Nd:YAG 1064 nm lasers for laser lipolysis, and to compare this wavelength with other wavelengths used for laser lipolysis in terms of safety and efficacy. The wavelength dependence of laser lipolysis was simulated using a Monte Carlo computer simulation. The results show that the Nd:YAG 1064 nm wavelength is the optimal wavelength...

Summary: The combination of 1320-nm laser lipolysis with lipoaspiration was observed to improve the appearance and contour of the infrachin neck, doubling the improvement seen with prior lipoaspiration performed by identical technique but without the addition of laser lipolysis. This is a preliminary report as to safety of the use of 1320-nm laser lipolysis. No adverse effects were observed in ...

Background and Objective. There has been a heightened interest in laser-assisted fat reduction procedures. We aimed to determine if lipolysis with the 1,320 nm Nd-YAG short-pulsed laser without subsequent suction results in satisfactory contouring of the upper extremity. Materials and Methods. Unilateral laser lipolysis of the upper arm was performed on 5 patients. Subcutaneous, subdermal, and ...

BACKGROUND Laser-assisted liposuction has been associated with reduced blood loss. However, this clinical finding has not been evaluated objectively. OBJECTIVES In this study, the authors objectively estimated the blood loss volume associated with laser lipolysis vs traditional liposuction in various anatomic regions. METHODS In this prospective study, 56 patients underwent equal amounts of...

A number of near-infrared wavelengths have been proposed and studied for laser lipolysis, but the histologic evaluation of tissue response to laser lipolysis during long-term follow-up has been lacking. A 1444 nm Nd:YAG laser with better absorption in both fat and water has recently attracted attention. The present study was designed to investigate the comprehensive histopathology of 1444 nm Nd...

Introduction: Liposuction has undergone several improvements since its first description, including changes in the cannulas, variation in the concentration of the infiltrating solution, and the use of different devices and technologies. The use of laser technology devices for lipolysis and stimulation of skin retraction has contributed to the procedure. This article presents the authors’ experi...

Laser lipolysis is recognized as an effective, non-surgical solution for fat removal and body reshaping. Its appeal lay in the procedure's ability to treat localized fat deposits and correct body asymmetries with apparent decreased risk compared to traditional liposuction. The energy emitted by the laser uses volumetric heating to destroy fat cells, contract skin and stimulate collagenesis. Alt...
