Lipolite Laser Liposculpture is among the handful of FDA-cleared cellulite reduction or fat-removal methods in the niche of non-invasive cosmetic treatments. Lipolite Laser Liposculpture is available in the form of standard machinery that is commonly used in cosmetic clinics.
Lipolite Laser Liposculpture Standards & FDA Status
The FDA approval status of Lipolite is comprehensive wherein it is applicable to all the sub-processes of the fat-removal procedure, including the heating of adipose tissue, breakdown of fatty tissue (or Lipolysis) and the minimal incisions that are required for inserting the fibers that transmit the laser. Further, the suction method used for removal of the molten fat also meets FDA standards.
The standard Lipolite Laser technology uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG filter and a maximum of 12 watts of power. This machinery also uses the SelectPulse technology that helps the attending physician to customize the degree of fat loss needed in a particular area by controlling the heating induced by laser. Lipolite uses a 1.2mm wide cannula that serves as a medium for inserting the fibers and sucking away the molten fat.
Lipolite Laser technology is unique since it can provide the widest range of laser-induced heating. Here, laser is delivered in the form of short pulses and not beams. This includes laser pulses as low as 100 µsec or longer pulses of nearly 800 µsec that are needed for greater, thermal breakdown of adipose tissue.
