An innovative liposuction technique using a laser device is presented. It is a precise method, less traumatic than the conventional one. The interaction between the laser and the adipocyte causes lipolysis with reduced bleeding and its effect on collagen tone promotes collagen retraction and skin shrinkage. The results of the use of laser lipolysis on flaccid areas or in areas with the potential for flaccidity are shown. The resulting skin retraction and the pathologic anatomy confirm these claims.
The traditional method produced less reversible cellular damage (swelling) than laser lipolysis using 1,000 J (in). The area receiving 3,000 J (in) showed major irreversible damage (cytoplasmatic retraction and disruption of membranes). For this reason, the mean diameter of the adipocyte was less.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
