980nm plus 1470nm for endo laser and lipolysis.
Laser-assisted liposuction using 1470-nm radial fiber emits light energy preferentially absorbed by water, yielding a rapid and localized contouring and tight- ening effect, with minimal scarring. When collected under appropriate conditions, extracted fat samples can be exploited as autologous filling material in liposculpturing procedures.
Objectives: To assess the 6-month contouring efficacy of 1470 radial fiber-assisted liposuction and the volumetric enhancement effect of the harvested tissue in facial fat grafting.
A single 1470 nm radial fiber-assisted abdominal and thigh liposuction session provided for effective and durable reduction of adipose tissue deposits, with appreciable skin tightening and aesthetic improvements. The gentle harvesting method yielded viable filler material, which was well-retained in facial regions for up to 6 months.
