Lipolysis using a new 1540-nm diode laser: a retrospective analysis of 230 consecutive procedures.

Background: Although traditional liposuction still remains the most required body sculpting procedure, laser lipolysis systems are becoming increasingly popular. The feasibility and efficacy of a new 1540-nm diode laser for suction-assisted laser lipolysis were evaluated.

Methods: Two hundred-thirty patients underwent a new 1540-nm diode laser lipolysis.

Face and neck revitalization with platelet-rich plasma (PRP): clinical outcome in a series of 23 consecutively treated patients.

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has long been known as an effective treatment in various surgical and medical fields. Face and neck revitalization with PRP is an application that is currently being explored. The aim of this paper is practical: to evaluate if there are real outcomes, benefits and side effects of a standardized injection protocol in a continuous series, without control groups.
