Effects of non‐invasive, 1,210 nm laser exposure on adipose tissue: Results of a human pilot study

Laser radiation (1,210 nm) has been previously shown to be capable of selective photothermolysis of adipose tissue in vitro when applied non‐invasively. The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the in vivo effects of this laser in human subjects.
