Treatment of cellulite using a 1440-nm YAG wavelength laser with side-firing fiber has proven safe and effective, lasting at least 6 months.
The authors evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single, subdermal procedure to treat the underlying structure of cellulite for at least 1 year.
Fifty-seven patients underwent a 3-step cellulite treatment with a 1440-nm Nd:YAG laser with a side-firing fiber and temperature-sensing cannula. Efficacy was measured by the blinded evaluators to distinguish baseline photos from those taken at 12 months posttreatment, with results on a 5-point, 2-category ordinal photonumeric scale when comparing baseline photos to 12 months posttreatment. Subject and physician satisfaction was assessed based on completion of a satisfaction survey. Adverse events (AE) were recorded throughout the study. Twelve month data were analyzed and compared to 6 month data.
Evaluators chose baseline photographs 97% on average from 6 (-1, +2) months and 91% from the 12 (-3, +2) months posttreatment photographs. At 6 (-1, +2) months, the average improvement score was 1.7 for dimples and 1.1 for contour irregularities. At 12 (-3, +2) months, the average improvement score was 1.4 for dimples and 1.0 for contour irregularities. The average satisfaction score for the physician was 5.6 and the patient was 5.3 on a 6-point scale.
A single, 3-step, minimally invasive laser treatment using a 1440-nm Nd:YAG laser, side-firing fiber, and temperature-sensing cannula to treat the underlying structure of cellulite proved to be safe and maintained effectiveness at least 1 year post treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2: Therapeutic.
使用波长为1440纳米的钇铝石榴石（YAG）激光及侧射光纤治疗橘皮组织已被证明是安全有效的，效果至少可持续6个月。
作者评估单次皮下手术治疗橘皮组织深层结构至少1年的安全性和有效性。
57例患者接受了使用波长为1440纳米的掺钕钇铝石榴石（Nd:YAG）激光、侧射光纤和温度传感套管的三步橘皮组织治疗。由盲法评估者测量疗效，以区分基线照片与治疗后12个月拍摄的照片，在比较基线照片与治疗后12个月照片时，结果采用5分、2类序贯光子数值量表。根据满意度调查的完成情况评估受试者和医生的满意度。在整个研究过程中记录不良事件（AE）。分析12个月的数据并与6个月的数据进行比较。
评估者平均有97%的情况下从治疗后6（-1，+2）个月的照片中选择基线照片，91%的情况下从治疗后12（-3，+2）个月的照片中选择。在6（-1，+2）个月时，酒窝的平均改善评分为1.7，轮廓不规则的平均改善评分为1.1。在12（-3，+2）个月时，酒窝的平均改善评分为1.4，轮廓不规则的平均改善评分为1.0。在6分制量表上，医生的平均满意度评分为5.6，患者为5.3。
使用波长为1440纳米的Nd:YAG激光、侧射光纤和温度传感套管进行单次、三步、微创激光治疗橘皮组织深层结构被证明是安全的，且治疗后至少1年仍保持有效性。证据级别2：治疗性。
