Abstract

Background: The standard of treatment for enhancing submental shape has been invasive surgical procedures, including targeted liposuction, direct fat excision, and laser lipolysis. The concepts that were originally reported as Endolaser or Endolaser are the foundation of the Endolasering procedure. A laser beam with a wavelength of 1470 nm is emitted via an optical fibre that is inserted into the subdermal tissue. This study purpose was to assess the efficacy and safety of the most recent diode laser 1470 nm as a novel treatment option for double chins in the context of cosmetic rejuvenation.


Methods: 15 patients with skin sagging or a double chin were involved in this interventional trial, which was conducted using an interstitial diode laser at 1470 nm. A clinical examination and laboratory investigations were conducted on all individuals. Biometric measurements (Cutometer, Mexameter, and Visioface), were assessed.


Results: After therapy, there was a substantial decrease in visioface parameters (volume, area, and depth) in comparison to prior to treatment (P<0.05). The thickness and density of the skin, dermis, and epidermis exhibited a substantial increase in skin ultrasonography following therapy compared to before treatment (P<0.05). The density, as determined by the cutometer, exhibited a substantial rise in R2, R5, and R7 following the treatment in comparison to the pretreatment (P<0.05).


Conclusions: Endolaser has proved to be an effective technique in facial rejuvenation as a new treatment modality in double chin. General anaesthesia and recovery time are not required for this method. Furthermore, our investigation demonstrated improved improvement grades, patients' contentment, and physician evaluations. Complications and discomfort were absent in all patients.
