Objectives: Evaluation of the results was performed at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment. One-month follow-up revealed objective clinical improvement in both unwanted fat and skin appearance in 72% of the patients. Results at three months showed an average reduction between 2-5 centimeters in the circumference of each area treated. Finally, six months later, satisfaction rates were quite high as the results were more visible for the majority of the patients. The only treatment-induced complications mentioned were a mild discomfort and small hematomas afterwards that subsided in a few days.
Introduction: Laser liposuction is a modern, less aggressive than traditional liposuction technique to remove localized fat deposits. Laser energy is used to liquefy excess fat from the areas treated, followed by aspiration, additionally providing the advantage of collagenesis and skin tightening. In this case series we evaluated the efficacy and safety of the use of 1064nm Nd:YAG Laser in the treatment of local fat.
Materials / method: 751 different patients, 549 women & 202 men, were conducted in our study between the years 2011-2016. The 1st stage included the infusion of tumescent anesthesia with Klein solution, followed by the lipolysis stage performed with a Nd:YAG Laser at 1064nm. Finally, the liquefied fat was removed through aspiration as in traditional liposuction. The mean energy delivered in the subcutaneous tissue per area was 3650 Joules, with a maximum of 10000 Joules per session. The areas treated varied between men & women, with the most common among them being outer thighs, abdomen, waistline, inner thights.
Results: Evaluation of the results was performed at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment. One-month follow-up revealed objective clinical improvement in both unwanted fat and skin appearance in 72% of the patients. Results at three months showed an average reduction between 2-5 centimeters in the circumference of each area treated. Finally, six months later, satisfaction rates were quite high as the results were more visible for the majority of the patients. The only treatment-induced complications mentioned were a mild discomfort and small hematomas afterwards that subsided in a few days.
Conclusion: Nd:YAG Laser liposuction constitutes a safe and effective treatment choice for resistant local fat, providing comparable results to those of traditional liposuction with the additional positive effect of skin tightening.
