“…In this vein, it can be stated that the overall effect of these three different wavelength lasers involves fat liquefaction, small blood vessel coagulation, increased fibroblast proliferation, and neocollagen synthesis stimulation, resulting in skin tightening and increased tissue elasticity (60)(61)(62). There is a noteworthy aspect beyond lipolysis; skin volume reduction is perhaps the most significant advantage of laser lipolysis (63)(64)(65) because massive weight loss is often accompanied by structural protein alterations characterized by reduced levels of heparan sulfate, perlecan, and an increase in collagen-type III (66)(67)(68).…”

Patients undergoing bariatric procedures experience massive weight loss accompanied by significant soft tissue laxity throughout the body. In such cases, aesthetic surgery aims to assist in regaining body contour. However, the impact of traditional surgical procedures on redundant tissue results in extensive scars, raising concerns and dissatisfaction among patients. Multifrequency laser-assisted lipolysis is a novel modality that has proven effective in reducing residual fat and inducing skin tightening with minimal scarring.

“…Interestingly, a synergistic approach involving therapeutic modalities such as Tecar therapy and exercise may offer effective solutions in reducing adipose tissue in various clinical settings [164]. In fact, radiofrequency devices, such as Tecar [165], could utilize high-frequency electromagnetic energy to efficiently heat adipose tissue, thereby boosting local cell metabolism and increasing lipolysis [164]. The combined intervention of aerobic exercise with radiofrequency demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in waist circumference, abdominal subcutaneous adipose thickness, and horizontal abdominal folds compared to a placebo [164].…”

Although rehabilitation medicine emphasizes a holistic health approach, there is still a large gap of knowledge about potential interventions aimed at improving overall wellbeing through cosmetic interventions. Therefore, this narrative review investigates the role of different rehabilitative techniques in enhancing aesthetics, quality of life, and psychosocial wellbeing for patients with disabilities. The study follows the SANRA framework quality criteria for a narrative review. Literature searches across PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus identified articles focusing on rehabilitation strategies within the aesthetic rehabilitation domain. The review identified evidence supporting injection procedures, such as Botulinum Toxin, Platelet-Rich Plasma, Hyaluronic Acid, Ozone, and Carboxytherapy, and assessing their applications in several disabling disorders. Additionally, physical therapies like Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, Laser Therapy, Microcurrent Therapy, Tecar Therapy, and physical exercises were explored for their impact on cutaneous microcirculation, cellulite treatment, wound healing, and scar appearance improvement. Lastly, the manuscript underlines the role of manual therapy techniques in addressing both physical discomfort and aesthetic concerns, discussing their effectiveness in adipose tissue therapy, scar tissue mobilization, and regional fat thickness reduction. Taken together, this review emphasizes the role of a multidisciplinary approach, aiming to provide valuable insights into potential benefits for both functional and aesthetic outcomes.

BackgroundEnergy‐based photoelectric and ultrasonic devices are essential for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing in the field of plastic surgery and dermatology. Both functionality and appearance are impacted by factors that cause skin to age, and various energy types have variable skin penetration depths and modes of transmission.AimThe objective is to advise safe and efficient antiaging treatment while precisely and sensitively controlling and assessing the extent of thermal damage to tissues caused by different kinds of energy‐based devices.MethodsA literature search was conducted on PubMed to review the mechanisms of action and thermal effects of photoelectric and ultrasonic devices in skin remodeling applications.ResultsThis paper reviews the thermal effects of energy‐based devices in skin resurfacing applications, including the tissue level and molecular biochemical level. It seeks to summarize the distribution form, depth of action, and influencing factors of thermal effects in combination with the mechanisms of action of various types of devices.ConclusionAccurate control of thermal damage is crucial for safe and effective skin remodeling treatments. Thorough investigation of molecular biochemical indicators and signaling pathways is needed for real‐time monitoring and prevention of severe thermal injury. Ongoing research and technological advancements will improve the accuracy and control of thermal damage during treatments.
