High-definition laser-assisted lipoaspiration

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Since the introduction of the liposuction technique, the improvement of body contour has been gaining new horizons. Superficial liposuction has been used in favor of aesthetics; the use of technologies, such as VASER and diode laser at 915- and 980-nm wavelengths, helps reduce complications and improves post-time, healing time, and cutaneous retraction.

Methods:

Fourteen patients submitted to high-resolution laser lipolysis were studied between 2014 and 2016. The level of patient satisfaction regarding the treatment outcome was assessed.

Results:

The majority of the patients were men, with a mean age of 39 years and a mean pain score of 2.3 on the visual pain scale (0 to 10), presenting lasting results after 1 year, with no complications and an early return to work and physical activities.

Conclusions:

The use of diode laser at the wavelengths of 915 and 980 nm in highdefinition liposculpture promoted satisfactory, promising results and should be tested in a larger sample of patients.

Keywords:
