LASER-ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION. HISTORY OF A QUESTION

There are numerous conservative ways to battle excessive fat: hardware cosmetology, chemical lipolysis, food supplements. However, they all have proven less efficient compared to liposuction, a surgical way of fat removing. Recently aesthetic surgery has been offering more new tools and devices to increase effectiveness of the operation and to minimize post-surgical complications. Most of them have failed to prove superior over existing technology. Laser-assisted liposuction, remains the most common and reliable one. Many researchers have demonstrated that laser lipolysis also involves coagulation of blood vessels within adipose tissue, cell lysis, reorganization of reticular dermis, and coagulation of thecollagen in adipose tissue. This method continues to incite practitioners' debate and stimulate further research. Due to the fact that there is no single system to standardize laser devices, except their wavelength, every manufacturer recommends their own parameters. It is causing confusion when measuring of the energy amount using inthe procedure performing. It is still debatable how much energy is spent on different areas. The search of the most selective waves has been continues, to destroy adipose tissue for optimal neocollagenesis and skin tightening without disfiguring scars. The discussion of the optimal wavelength and safety to quality ratio goes on.
