Laser For Lipolysis

Laser For Lipolysis

Laser lipolysis is recognized as an effective, non-surgical solution for fat removal and body reshaping. Its appeal lay in the procedure’s ability to treat localized fat deposits and correct body asymmetries with apparent decreased risk compared to traditional liposuction. The energy emitted by the laser uses volumetric heating to destroy fat cells, contract skin and stimulate collagenesis. After long time clinical comparision, it has been found that the 980 nm diode laser is consistently successful in inducing the required fat-heat and skin-heat interactions necessary for optimal results in 2012. 
Now, the 1210nm wavelength has absorption-affinity for Lipid-Rich Tissue and has demonstrated to stimulate adipocytes and mesenchymal cells of the subcutaneous tissue, with a new concept: Selective Photothermostimulation (SPS). The application in Liposuction of this wavelength is determined by its preservation of the integrity of adipocytes, making possible the use of these materials for fat grafting in Liposculpture, Breast Reconstruction or as filler in Face Rejuvenation, proven that this technique is less traumatic.
Although laser lipolysis is not intended to replace traditional liposuction, it offers patients a procedure that yields similar benefits with fewer complications and faster recovery.

Latest Femtosecond laser for LASIK

Femtosecond (fs) lasers for LASIK flap creation have increased their market share from 0 percent in 2001 to over 55 percent in 2010. Now, in cataract surgery a similar revolution may take place. What makes this technology so special and which new areas of surgery will furthermore be entered in the future?


femtosecond lasers are efficacious devices for creating LASIK flaps, with accompanying good visual results. Overall, femtosecond lasers were found to be as good as or better than mechanical microkeratomes for creating LASIK flaps. There are unique complications that can occur with femtosecond lasers.

Laser history in Gynecology and obstetrics

During the last decade, the use of laser technology has become more common in operative gynaecology in Norway. The first modality to be introduced was the carbondioxide, CO2-laser, used together with the colposcope for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial dysplasia and condylomata. The same laser has also been employed through laparoscopic technique, with the aid of modern microvideofacilities. Finally, using the hysteroscopic technique, the Neodymium-Yttrium-Aluminium-Garnet, the Nd-YAG-laser and similar diode laser, has been introduced for treating intrauterine conditions. The use of laser in operative gynaecology makes it necessary to change the attitude towards indications for operation. The possibilities are challenging, and the effect on the length of postoperative convalescence is especially rewarding. The introduction of lasers in gynaecology could have far-reaching consequences for efficient use of hospital resources.

Laser therapy, Class 1, 3B or 4?

Therapeutic lasers on the market today include the Class 1, Class 3B and Class 4. These classes essentially refer to the differences in the laser’s power, or how quickly it can deliver a certain number of joules, or units of energy, to inflamed or traumatized cells. Class 1 takes the longest amount of time; Class 4 takes the shortest.

The class is determined by how many milliwatts of power the laser has

The set group of recognized therapeutic wavelengths runs from about 650 to 1,000 nanometers, with the higher the number giving the deeper penetration, she says. Laser companies acquire particular wavelengths after they’re no longer used in military applications.

“The laser companies end up buying patents on wavelengths,” Van Dyck says. “When the military decides it doesn’t really have a use for wavelength 608, for instance, it will release the patent for that wavelength and the therapeutic laser manufacturers pick them up.”

Besides power and wavelength, the length of time the laser is applied to the cell makes a difference, too, Riegel says.

“I can take a laser pointer from Staples and if I hold it onto the joint of your little finger, I could probably treat it, but it will take a day and a half,” Riegel says. “But a higher-powered laser will shorten your treatment time by providing more photons to saturate the target tissues.”

And that’s where class comes into play. An equine veterinarian may not have time to spend two hours treating one horse’s back using a lower-powered Class 3B laser, Riegel says. But if she uses a higher-powered model, like a Class 4, she could get it done faster.   

Because much of the research on therapeutic lasers has been done using a Class 3B laser, Van Dyck says she recommends those to her veterinary students.

“The Class 3 laser is where the research has been done, and they have great efficacy and great safety, so from a teaching standpoint that’s where I want to be,” she says.

Riegel prefers the power of a Class 4, explaining, “With the evolution of the Class 4 laser with more power behind it, you’re now able to supply enough photons at the right wavelength to penetrate deeply into the target, whatever your target is, whether it’s a spine or joint or something else.

"Properly trained personnel administering in a proper way are not going to cause damage.”

As manufacturers of classes 1, 3B and 4 lasers refine their devices to offer the broadest range of therapeutic benefits, they all agree that light therapy is the wave of the future, and they’ve been making investments in their designs.

Indications for laser therpay

Why should we use Safety Goggle for laser treatment?

Importance of Wearing Safety Goggles

Laser beam focused by the lens on the retina or fovea
An incident laser beam striking directly inline with the lens is very
dangerous. The beam is magnified over 100,000 times by the lens of
the eye. The more divergence of the beam the less light strikes the eye.
The more the mean is focused or collimated the greater the fluence of
the beam and potential for injury.

Safety Goggles
Not all Safety Goggles are the same. The protective eyewear that came with your laser is manufactured
specifically for the wavelengths emitted by the laser. Do not use protective eyewear from other

manufacturers as they may not provide the appropriate level of protection

Laser Acupuncture (Needleless Acupuncture)

Laser Acupuncture (Needleless Acupuncture)

Laser Acupuncture relies upon similar dosage principles as needling, and knowledge of acupuncture theory
and practice is required. There are two approaches; first the Precise Approach; and second the General Approach.
1. The Precise Approach uses the laser with great finesse to effect stimulation of the precise acupuncture
points. Some believe that lower dosages will “tonify” the acupuncture points, while higher dosages will
“sedate” the acupuncture points.
2. The General Approach uses the laser to stimulate the acupuncture points and the surrounding area of
the acupuncture point.
Active acupuncture points are typically painful upon palpation. The application of laser therapy has proven
to be effective at “releasing” the acupuncture point, and reducing pain

Laser cyclophotocoagulation in treatment of refractory glaucoma

Long - term effect of transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in treatment of refractory glaucoma [Ophthalmology] Keywords:diode laser,cyclophotocoagulation,refractory glaucoma Abstract AIM: To evaluate the long-term efficiency of diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (DL Tscpc) for refractory glaucoma. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was made in 431 eyes with refractory glaucoma treated by DL Tscpc with lower energy power (1.5-2.5W) and more laser spots (26-34). Intraocular pressure (IOP), visualacuity, ocular symptoms and complications were observed after DLTscpc. Patients were followed up over 36 months. RESULTS: Mean pre-operative IOP was (56.2±12.7)mmHg which was significantly different from the final follow-up mean IOP (17.3±8.8)mmHg. (P < 0.05). The success rate was 94.4% (68/72). Postoperative visual acuity kept no change in 399 eyes; elevated in 30 eyes and decreased in two eyes. The pain sense disappeared or remarkably relieved. The main complications included mild uveitis and hyphemae. Atrophy of eyeball occurred in two eyes. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that DL TScpc is a simple, safe and effective therapy for eyes with refractory glaucoma through long-term observation. KEYWORDS: diode laser; cyclophotocoagulation; refractory glaucoma

EVLT Frequently Asked Questions

EVLT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

What is Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT)?

EVLT is a procedure performed in an office/clinic, requires no incisions and no hospital stay is required. After local anesthesia is administered, a laser fiber is inserted through a small needle hole in the skin into the vein that runs along the inner thigh. The laser is then slowly heated and the vein collapses around it. The collapsed vein soon shrinks and disappears. This technique rapidly treats the large varicose veins in the thigh and takes less than 30 mins to perform. Patients can resume all their normal activities soon after the procedure.

How does Endovenous laser ablation work?

The energy source from the laser irritates the vein walls, causes them to shrink and slowly disappear. The vein can no longer carry any blood through it. Because these veins are superficial, they are not important for transfer of blood to the heart.

Is loss of this vein a problem?

No. The saphenous vein which is destroyed is not healthy in the first place and of no use. Because the vein is engorged and thrombosed, removal has no affect on the body. The deep veins, however, are not touched by the laser as they continue to carry blood away from the legs.

What are the alternatives to this treatment?

Surgery has been the traditional treatment for varicose veins, and is moderately painful and has a slightly longer recovery period. Surgery requires the use of anesthesia, leaves a scar and a few incisions. Sclerotherapy is not used to treat large varicose veins. Sclerotherapy for the saphenous vein has a high recurrence rate frequently requiring multiple treatments Other alternatives include ultrasound-guided mini sclerotherapy to destroy small branched veins and radio frequency electrosurgery.. Radiofrequency electrosurgery is similar to EVLT and is more of a physician choice and availability. So far the results are good and patients are satisfied

How is EVLT performed?

The vein is identified just above the knee and the entire leg area is cleaned with an anti septic ointment. The entire procedure is performed with ultrasound visualization of the vein. A small amount of local anesthetic is applied and a needle is place in the vein. Through this vein is inserted a small laser probe. The probe is then identified with Ultrasound to verify its position and then the laser is slowly heated with low energy. The laser energy damages the vein walls causing it to shrink and eventually leading to closure of the vein. The vein becomes fibrosed and does not carry any blood in it The procedure is painless and takes about 30-45 minutes. Once the vein is burnt, the probe is removed and a small dressing is applied. A compression bandage is applied and worn for 1 week. The patient is usually discharged home in an hour.

What is Recovery after EVLT?

The procedure leaves no scars, is associated with minimal postoperative pain, a rapid recovery period and provides almost immediate relief from symptoms. Minor soreness and bruising can be treated with over-the-counter, pain medication. After the procedure, all patients are encouraged to walk and resume their normal activities. A follow up appointment is made with the doctor in 1-2 weeks.

Is destroying the saphenous vein harmful?

No. Generally the saphenous vein is only destroyed when it is thick and thrombosed. The vein in this state is almost useless and non- functioning and there is no harm in removing it. However, a normally functioning saphenous vein with no leaky valves should not be treated. A normal saphenous vein should always be preserved because it may be required in the future for open heart surgery.

Risks and Potential Complications

As with any invasive procedure, there are potential complications. These rare complications include:

• there may be mild numbness around the thigh area
• there may be a pulling sensation which may last a week
• Phlebitis (redness and tenderness of the skin is quite common but is mild in nature and easily treated with over the counter pain medications. Most cases of phlebitis resolve in 3-7 days.
• Deep venous thrombosis. This is a very rare complications following Endovenous Laser Ablation. The best way to prevent this rare complication is to wear compression bandage or compression stocking and to walk right after the procedure.
• Infection at an incision site is a rare occurrence and usually resolves on its own.
• Bruising is a common feature after the procedure. The bruising is mild and resolves in a week.
• Failure of the procedure does occur and may be related to the inability to place the probe in the vein. This does happen rarely. Other causes of failure are the inability of the laser to destroy the vein. The majority of technical failures are related to inexperience of the physician with the procedure.
  

  Is the laser harmful to the eyes?

  No. One is usually given a pair of special glasses to protect the eyes. There are no other harmful effects from the laser

  How successful is EVLT?

  All data indicate that EVLT is a safe and effective procedure. The procedure does not involve any incisions and is relatively painless and has minimal complications.

  What are disadvantages of EVLT?

  The technique does not treat spider veins nor does it treat veins in the lower leg. Today, with an increased emphasis of preserving the veins for future use for either coronary artery bypass or some vascular procedure, EVLT completely destroys the vein and makes it unusable for future use.

  How much does it cost?

  EVLT when done in a symptomatic patient is a procedure which is reimbursed by most medial insurance and Medicare. Most insurance carriers require a trial of support or compression stockings and evidence that the patient needed to take pain medication during the last six months. All Vein Centers will work with you and your insurance carrier through the predetermination process to determine medical necessity.

Role of Laser in the treatment of spider veins?

What is the role of Laser in the treatment of spider veins?

The best and gold standard treatment for spider veins is laser. Laser vein removal is an easy, fast, and effective way to treat superficial veins Laser therapy has been used in the medicine for more than 30 years. Advances in technology have helped developed many different lasers. The laser uses a focused beam of light. In the treatment of veins, the wavelength of light is targeted to the pigment in the blood. The laser heats up the small vein and destroys it. The laser beam is focused and does not damage the nearby skin tissue. Over a period of four to six weeks, the vein is reabsorbed by the body and disappears.

808nm is the best wavelength for hair removal In term of efficiency and cost.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL is the process of removing unwanted hair by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicle.
The Diode laser system deliver a longer wavelength than the Ruby (694 nm wavelength) and the Alexandrite (755nm wavelength) lasers, but a shorter wavelength than the Nd: Yag (1064 nm wavelength) laser. This longer wavelength enables the light to penetrate deeper and is
theoretically safer than shorter wavelength lasers because it can better avoid the melanin pigment in the skin's epidermis. The Diode laser's longer wavelength of light thereby penetrates into the hair follicle without causing as much epidermal injury as the Ruby or the Alexandrite. This fact allows the Diode laser to be used on darker skin colors
than the Ruby or Alexandrite.

Podiatry Laser Surgery

Podiatry Laser Surgery has been successfully used in the elds of ophthalmology, dermatology,
and gynecology, and now is being used in the treatment of various foot problems which require removal of diseased or damaged tissues.

In many cases the scalpel is now being discarded in favor of a ray of the laser beam. A laser beam of light is pinpointed on the troubled areas and in seconds (in some cases microseconds) the tissue is eliminated. The laser vaporizes the faulty cells and at the same time sterilizes the adjacent tissue. Scarring is minimal because the laser’s precise control limits the damage to surrounding tissues.
