Effects of non‐invasive, 1,210 nm laser exposure on adipose tissue: Results of a human pilot study

Abstract: This in vivo study shows histologic evidence of laser-induced damage of fat. With further development, this might become a useful treatment for disorders involving the fat and/or lower dermis.

“…Numerous delivery mechanisms have been developed to achieve body slimming without surgery. Subcutaneous adipocyte destruction has been investigated with numerous technologies including: ultrasound, infrared, radio frequency and cryolipolysis 1–6. High‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is currently considered an adjunct to, rather than a replacement for liposuction.…”

“…The method is based on the combined photochemical and photothermal effect [2,207] induced in the fat tissue cells. The selective photothermal action on the fat tissue can be implemented by the laser radiation wavelength choice using the absorption by the endogenous (own) tissue chromophores, in the present case the lipids contained in the fat drop of adipocytes, under the exposure to light with the wavelength 1210 nm [208]. However, with exogenous chromophores, e.g., the indocyanine green (ICG), the efficiency of light interaction with tissue may be essentially higher and more selective [209][210][211][212][213].…”

“…Such an approach is of particular interest during irradiation of biological objects relatively low-lightvisible range, often used in low-intensity laser (light) therapy, for example, in treating venous ulcers, long-term nonhealing wounds, [10][11][12] and photodynamic therapy, 2, 3, 13-15 for selective photothermolysis and photodynamic therapy with the use of indocyanine green as the photosensitizer in oncology. [16][17][18] Various aspects of light on the cells of human adipose tissue are considered in [19][20][21][22][23] . Questions light degradation of adipose tissue, including in combination with selective thermal effect are considered in the papers 8,22,[24][25][26] .…”
