- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined 1060-nm diode laser and 635-nm low-level laser therapy (LLLT) device for non-invasive reduction of the abdominal and submental fat. Forty-two healthy subjects received single laser treatment on both the abdomen and submental area. Ultrasound images measuring the thickness of abdominal and submental fat were taken at baseline, follow-up at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment. Waist circumference and body weight were also measured at all visits. Adverse events were recorded at all visits. Subjects completed a satisfaction questionnaire at the end of the trial. Twelve weeks after a single treatment with the investigational device, ultrasound images showed statistically significant (P < 0.0001) reductions in abdominal and submental fat by 18.62 and 26.4%, respectively. In addition, significant (P < 0.0001) reduction in waist circumference was observed. Ninety-six percent of subjects rated that they were satisfied. Noted side effects were transient mild to moderate tenderness which subsided within 1 to 3 weeks. No serious treatment-related adverse events were reported. The dual wavelength device combining 1060-nm diode laser with 635-nm LLLT was safe and effective for non-invasive reduction of both abdominal and submental fat.
