Laser lipolysis “Fat reduction”

With the diode laser system, DOD Laseer presents its latest innovation in the field of laser technology for minimally invasive contour shaping: a laser procedure performed in an outpatient clinic under local anesthesia in which, via tiny incision in the skin, fatty tissue is targeted and gently liquefied and the overlying skin is tightened.

The benefits compared to conventional liposuction are:

1. Improved skin tightening due to the laser stimulation the collagen under the skin

2. Can also be performed is very small areas where the standard techqiues are associated with esthetic risks

3. Low blood loss due to the simultaneous laser coagulation of the small blood vessels under the skin

4. Quicker healing and less downtime

Mode of action

With laser lipolysis carried out with the DOD Laser, fat cells are liquefied using a very precise laser beam.

The energy of the diode laser is converted into heat and this gently dissolves the fat issue. The capillaries supplying blood and the surrounding connective tissue are also heated during the process. This heating results in immediate hemostasis and, via regeneration of collagen fibers, leads to a visible tightening of the subcutaneous connective tissue and skin.

The described effect on the tissue is achhieved by means of an indication-specifi combination of wavelengths--for instance, a wavelength of 1470nm produces the optimun conditions for effecient vaporization of the fat tissue and tightening the overlying connective tissue. Coagulation of the blood vessels, on the other hand,. is achieved by using a complementary wavelength of 980nm.

Outpatient treatment

Laser lipolysis with the DOD Laser can be performed in an outpatient clinic. The procedure ivolves a tumescent local anesthetic(TLA) being injected in advance at the operating field. Only tiny incisions in the skin are required for the intervention itself to enable the optical fibers to enter the tissue to be treated. The fat cells are targeted and liquefied there by a controlled and precise emission of laser energy. The position of the optical fibers is controlled at all times by the pilot beam shining through the skin. The liquefied fat is-depending on the size of the area to be treated-disintegrated naturally or extracted manually by means of suction. After treatment, the incisions in the skin care are not sutured but are simply covered with a thin strip of adhesive bandage.

Outstanding treatment results

Laser lipolysis using the Dila achieves outstanding cosmetic results.

The thermal effect of the laser causes the skin to gradually adpat smoothly to its new substructure. AS an adult’s fat cells at the treatment site do not reform, the results are permanent--in terms of both the reduction of the fat tissue and the optimzation of body shape.

Low risk and only minor side effects

As a general anesthetic in not needed, the procedure is even safer. The obliteration of the small blood vessels caused by the laser promotes post-operative healing. This means that pain, bruising and swelling are all much less in evidence compared with conventional liposuction. They will normally have completely faded within the first week.

Applications for fat reduction and tissue firming

Upper eyelid(“blepharochalasis”)

Lower eyelid(“lacrimal sacs”)

Cheeks(“chubby cheeks”)

Chin(“double chin”)

Neck(“turkey neck”)

Upper arm(“arm flab”,”batwings”)

Breast(“breast lift”)

Abdomen(“belly fat”)

Back(“flank fat”)

Hip(“”love handles”)

Bottom(“cellulite”)

Thigh(inside and outside,”saddlebags”)

Lipoedema

Knee(“sagging knee fat”)

Expansion of the treatment spectrum

Whether in the operation room of a large hospital, in an outpatient surgery center or in private practice, the use of the Dila significantly expands treatment options for the doctors.

For instance, laser contour shaping with the Dila is especially suitable for samller and more sensitive areas of fat that standard liposuction has hither to been only able to treat to limited degree. These include treatment for cheek fat, double chins, the upper abdomen, upper arems and the knee area.

It is also ideally suited for treating benign adipose tumors, also called lipomas, and skin dimples, also called cellulite.
