As the first FDA approved device using a 1444 nm wavelength laser, AccuSculpt from Lutronic, Inc. (Princeton Junction, N.J.), photo-acousti-
cally emulsifies fat, enabling easier removal during liposuction. This method facilitates a more aesthetically pleasing silhouette for patients regard-

Modern protocols for facial skin rejuvenation ideally include two modes of treatment. The first involves the improvement of epidermal tissue – often called ‘skin resurfacing’ – which can remove conditions such as sun damage, pigmented lesions, skin growths, wrinkles and acne scars. The second involves deep heating of tissue in the dermis, stimulating collagen remodeling and causing a skin tightening effect, while also removing
rosacea and spider veins. If the right modalities are used, all of th

The LightPod Neo is uniquely able to perform efficaciously without skin cooling by delivering the same range of laser energy density as traditional longer pulsed (3 msec to 30 msec) Nd:YAG 1064 nm lasers, but in a shorter 0.65msec pulse duration.

Laser lipo technology has revolutionized the aesthetic industry. Patients all over the world are asking for this new method to sculpt the body that avoids the general anesthesia and extensive recovery often required of traditional liposuction. Recently featured on The Dr. Oz Show, aesthetic laser manufacturer Palomar has created the SlimLipo laser fat removal machine, and patients are reaping the rewards.

We report findings on a novel fractional skin resurfacing technology which uses a groove pattern of injury as opposed to the column pattern delivered with “traditional” fractional beam resurfacing.

Background and Objective: Ablative fractional lasers were introduced for treating facial rhytides in an attempt to achieve results comparable to traditional ablative resurfacing but with fewer side effects. However, there is conflicting evidence on how well this goal has generally been achieved as well as on the comparative value of fractional CO2 and Er:YAG lasers. The present study compares these modalities in a randomized controlled double-blind split-face study design.
