1470 nm Diode Laser Effectiveness in Facial Fat Reduction with the Endolifting Technique: Pilot Study
The endolifting technique, using a 1470 nm diode laser, aims to reduce subcutaneous fat and tone the skin by stimulating collagen production. In this study, 10 patients underwent a single endolifting session on the mandibular and submental regions using a 400-micron optical fiber with 4-8 W power in continuous mode. Post-procedure, patients wore bandages for 4 days and received 4 sessions of manual lymphatic drainage weekly. After 60 days, there was a significant reduction in facial and submental fat, with improved skin tightness and reduced wrinkles. The technique proved effective and safe, with no complications observed.
