| Popis: | Although traditional liposuction still remains the most required body sculpting procedure, laser lipolysis systems are becoming increasingly popular. The feasibility and efficacy of a new 1540-nm diode laser for suction-assisted laser lipolysis were evaluated.Two hundred-thirty patients underwent a new 1540-nm diode laser lipolysis. Outcomes were determined by case notes, clinical review of side effects, and a questionnaire through which patient satisfaction was assessed. Macroscopic and histologic effects on subcutaneous fat and collagen deposition were evaluated. Moreover thermal effects were studied through thermography.The treated regions were abdomen in 56 cases, thighs in 54, trochanteric area in 27, flanks in 17, neck in 14, arms in 12, breast in 11, hips in 7, knees in 3; 29 cases were revisions of previous lipoplasties. No adverse effect as scarring, infection, burns, hypopigmentation, bruising, or swelling was observed. The required effects of laser lipolysis such as contour reshaping and skin tightening were achieved in almost all patients with high levels of satisfaction after treatment.Our investigation highlighted the safety and efficacy of the new 1540-nm diode laser assisted liposuction device for removal of small volumes of fat deposits associated with concurrent subdermal tissue contraction, tolerance and quick recovery time. |
