Histologic evaluation of interstitial lipolysis comparing a 1064, 1320 and 2100 nm laser in an ex vivo model

Laser lipolysis using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser has been shown to be a safe and effective modality for the treatment of small areas of fat in conjunction with microcannula liposuction. The purpose of this study is to compare the histologic effects on ex vivo human fatty tissue using three separate wavelengths of laser light (1064, 1320 and 2100 nm) at three predetermined energy levels.
