Background: Noninvasive treatment with a 1064 nm diode laser, generating hypodermal temperatures between 42 and 47 °C, induces adipocyte cell death, offering a solution to reduce fat in problematic areas.

Objectives: The objective of the authors of this study is to determine whether a 15 min treatment provides similar efficacy as the standard 25 min treatment.

Methods: Pigs underwent a 15 or 25 min 1064 nm laser treatment on 6 × 6 cm areas of abdominal skin.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on the effectiveness of a nonablative 1927 nm thulium laser (MOXI™) for treating facial actinic irregularities caused by factors like aging and UV exposure, noting its benefits in resurfacing skin and reducing pigmentation issues without worsening the condition.
  • It involved 27 patients (Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-IV) who received two treatments spaced a month apart, with the main goal of evaluating the laser's impact on pigment response using specialized imaging and clinical assessments.
  • Results showed a positive response in pigment reduction, indicating that this laser treatment is promising for improving skin appearance in individuals with irregular pigmentation.
