“…The 1,444‐nm wavelength of this device is more efficient in the emulsion of fat and absorption of water than the conventional wavelengths of 980, 1,064, and 1,320 nm (Figure ) . In addition to laser‐assisted lipolysis, this subdermal laser, which mechanically penetrates dermal tissues and delivers light through interstitially placed optical fibers, tightens and contours skin by heating the dermis directly . We hypothesized that the 1,444‐nm pulsed Nd:YAG laser using a 1‐mm microcannula would produce more‐effective dermal tightening in NLF and might improve cheek laxity through removal of unwanted fat tissue, direct heating of dermal collagen, and minimal scarring after treatment.…”
