A novel 1470 nm radial fiber diode for fat harvesting and liposuction

Abstract

Autologous fat grafting continues to be a challenge in maintaining viability and survival of grafted fat. Laser-assisted fat harvesting is a novel concept in liposuction. An all-in-one platform that optimizes wavelength, fiber design, cannula design, and current concepts in fat collection and preparation is available that may increase viability of harvested adipocytes and simplify the process. Here, the physics and principals of fat collection are reviewed and discussed in context of this device platform.

Complications and Solutions for Post-Operative Liposuction Deformities

“…Adipocytes are then collected in a mesh basket within the container and excess tumescence, blood and oil are suctioned out in a two-step process. This fat is reported to be over 90% viable [35]. The addition of platelet-rich plasma may nearly double fat graft survival (55-89%) [36].…”

Submentonial fat reduction with 1470nm diode laser and Endolifting® technique: case report

“…Traditional liposuction has been used to eliminate excess fat in this region, however, it often involves significant incisions and recovery time. [1][2][3]6,7 In addition, the growing demand for less invasive procedures has driven the development of alternatives, such as the application of lipolytic agents, radiofrequency and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). 1,3,4,5,8,9 However, it is the advancement of laser technology that has gained prominence in the approach to the double chin.…”

“…4,5 The Endolifting technique, also known as Endolaser or Endolift, consists of using a laser beam with a wavelength of 1470 nm emitted through an optical fiber inserted into the subdermal tissue with the aim of reducing subcutaneous fat and toning the skin through of the intense production of collagen. 4,5,7 Bare optical fiber can be used to overcome some inherent limitations when used to deliver energy from an infrared laser. 10,7 The combination of this laser with the Endolifting technique®has shown promise, offering a less invasive approach and with remarkable results in the reduction of double chin and better postoperative recovery.…”

“…The first lasers used in dermatology were predominantly high energy and carried significant risks of side effects. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]6,11,12 However, as technology has advanced, safer and more effective lasers have been developed. The introduction of Nd:YAG lasers brought an innovative approach to laser lipolysis.…”
