Laser technology provides the desired destruction of adipose tissue, hemostasis, and good skin retraction with a minimum of discomfort and a quick return to normal life for the patient. Here we present our experience with the use of laser-assisted liposuction (LAL) with a 924- and 975-nm laser diode and compare it with traditional liposuction alone.
A total of 430 patients were reviewed for this study. Three hundred thirty patients were treated with the 924- and 975-nm laser diode for laser lipolysis and 100 patients were treated with traditional liposuction of the anterior and inner thigh, the knee, the calf, and the trochanter. Patients were assessed by means of ultrasound. Pictures were taken and the degree of satisfaction was assessed. All complications were recorded.
A total of 521 laser lipolysis procedures were performed at different areas: anterior thigh (86), inner thigh (122), trochanter (204), knee (67), and calf (42). The mean energy was area-dependent and evaluated in kJ: anterior thigh (15), inner thigh (14), trochanter (22), knee (5), and calf (4.5). The mean reduction of subcutaneous tissue with LAL in the anterior part of the thigh, the inner thigh, the calf, the knees, and the trochanter was 1.45, 1.9, 1.15, 1.2, and 3.6 cm, respectively. One hundred traditional liposuction procedures were performed for different areas: anterior thigh (27), inner thigh (38), trochanter (72), knee (21), and calf (12). The mean reduction of subcutaneous tissue in the anterior part of the thigh, the inner thigh, the calf, the knees, and the trochanter was 1.2, 1.6, 0.9, 0.6, and 3.2 cm, respectively. All patients who underwent LAL had superior satisfaction compared to those who had liposuction alone.
Laser lipolysis with 924- and 975-nm diodes is adequate treatment for removal of adipose deposits and to obtain aesthetically good skin results, with a minimum of recovery time and high patient satisfaction.

激光技术提供了所需的脂肪组织破坏、止血和良好的皮肤收缩，患者的不适感最小，恢复正常生活的速度很快。在这里，我们介绍了使用 924nm 和 975nm 激光二极管的激光辅助吸脂术（LAL）的经验，并将其与单独的传统吸脂术进行了比较。
对 430 例患者进行了回顾性研究。330 例患者接受 924nm 和 975nm 激光二极管治疗激光脂肪分解，100 例患者接受传统的大腿前内侧、膝盖、小腿和转子吸脂术治疗。通过超声评估患者。拍摄照片并评估满意度。记录所有并发症。
共在不同部位进行了 521 次激光脂肪分解术：大腿前侧（86 例）、大腿内侧（122 例）、转子（204 例）、膝盖（67 例）和小腿（42 例）。平均能量与面积有关，以焦耳（kJ）评估：大腿前侧（15kJ）、大腿内侧（14kJ）、转子（22kJ）、膝盖（5kJ）和小腿（4.5kJ）。大腿前侧、大腿内侧、小腿、膝盖和转子的 LAL 皮下组织平均减少量分别为 1.45cm、1.9cm、1.15cm、1.2cm 和 3.6cm。100 例患者接受了不同部位的传统吸脂术：大腿前侧（27 例）、大腿内侧（38 例）、转子（72 例）、膝盖（21 例）和小腿（12 例）。大腿前侧、大腿内侧、小腿、膝盖和转子的皮下组织平均减少量分别为 1.2cm、1.6cm、0.9cm、0.6cm 和 3.2cm。与单独接受吸脂术的患者相比，接受 LAL 的所有患者的满意度均较高。
使用 924nm 和 975nm 二极管的激光脂肪分解术是去除脂肪沉积并获得美观良好皮肤效果的有效治疗方法，恢复时间最短，患者满意度高。
