Abstract

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. The advent of laser-assisted liposuction is the next evolutionary step in the market of body contouring. The goal of laser-assisted liposuction is to facilitate liposuctioning, enhance tissue tightening, and reduce downtime and morbidity. Several different protocols using different devices and wavelengths generate variable results. Current laser-assisted lipolysis technology and techniques are reviewed with respective expectations. As laser lipolysis technology and coinciding experience grow, so will the ability to achieve the aims of more efficient, safer, and cosmetically pleasing body sculpting.
