Evaluation of thermodynamic bioeffects of long-pulsed 1064 nm laser in the photothermal lipolysis.

LP1064 nm laser provided reliable adipose tissue thermolysis when the temperature of skin surface was sustained at 39°C or 42°C for 10 min. Application of air-cooling during the laser treatment achieved better effect and safety of photothermal lipolysis. LP1064 nm laser, as a noninvasive device, has comparable thermal lipolysis effect as other common heat-generating devices.
