Laser-Assisted Liposuction: Here's the Skinny

Abstract: Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. The advent of laser-assisted liposuction is the next evolutionary step in the market of body contouring. The goal of laser-assisted liposuction is to facilitate liposuctioning, enhance tissue tightening, and reduce downtime and morbidity. Several different protocols using different devices and wavelengths generate variable results. Current laser-assisted lipolysis technology and techniques are reviewed with respective expectations. As laser lipolysis … Show more

“…The laser system emits light in the form of a beam that is converted to heat energy in the fat, collagenous tissue, and hemoglobin. Appropriate laser selection allows preferential targeting of tissues, since the different wavelengths have different absorption coefficients for fat, water, and hemoglobin [25].…”

“…1064 nm lazerde doku penetrasyonun iyidir, daha az yağ absorbsiyonu nedeniyle ışık dağılır ve dokunun daha geniş ışınlanmasına olanak sağlar 16 . Bu dalga boyu oksihemoglobin tarafından absorbe edilir, bu sebeple de küçük damarları koagüle etmekte etkindir 15 23 LL'nin yağ kaybı miktarını ölçmüşlerdir.…”

“…Böylece çevreye daha az ısı tranferi sağlayarak boyun gibi derinin daha ince olduğu bölgelerde kullanıma olanak sağlarlar. Su absorbsiyon katsayısı yüksek olduğu için kollajeni de daha iyi ısıtır 16 . Bu iki dalga boylu lazer tek başlarına ya da kombine olarak kullanılabilmektedir.…”
