What is the principle of laser endohypodermique?
Dr. Catherine Goursac: The use of laser is recent in France but it has been used for ten years abroad. Endohypodermique means that we will work directly onfat . It makes a fine incision (1 mm in diameter) to inject a liquid anesthetic, on the one hand, and then introduce the other hand a needle through which passes an optical fiber, the laser . This will inject photons which will directly destroy the cell wall fat (adipocytes). Their lipid content flows naturally and is then removed by macrophages, blood cells specialized in eliminating damaged cells.
What are the interests of the laser endohypodermique?
Dr. Catherine Goursac: This endohypodermique laser can not treat large areas such as flabby thighs or abdomen. It is only for small sites. In addition to burst the cells fat , the fact that coagulates small vessels surrounding an asset because with this mode of action, the laser does not cause bruising, not blue, as is the case with the three major current treatments against cellulite: liposuction, injection of hypo-osmolar solution and mesotherapy or injection of phosphatidylcholine. The laser also causes some skin retraction, resulting in better skin after surgery. The advantage of this laser is that it also occurs in ambulatory, that is to say that it does not require surgical intervention and requires just local anesthesia. However, the results are not immediately visible precisely because injections of anesthetics that cause swelling of the treated area. This gives a first result after 5-6 days, but the real result is that after 2 or 3 months. You should know that a single session of laser is sufficient.
What are the side effects of the laser?
Dr. Catherine Goursac: Following a meeting, the person feels a little nauseous, she did not very hungry, as if she had a heavy meal in fat . This state lasts about 2 days due to the fact that the fat stored in adipocytes have been leached. But according to available studies, the laser is not accompanied by a significant increase in fat in the blood. This technique is not dangerous and liver digest fats quickly released since we observed no increase in liver enzymes. I also note that the laser does not cause vascular lesions, but coagulates small vessels, it has no effect on the skin or the muscle.
What areas are affected?
Dr. Catherine Goursac: The laser endohypodermique is very interesting on the face, neck and double chin, or in areas inaccessible to liposuction because this technique causes sagging skin and we must then do a facelift. With the laser, the skin will retract inversely. The laser is also for the inside of your arms, love handles, banana under buttocks to the inside of the knees, areas around the bra and the upper abdomen ( below the navel) inaccessible to liposuction but on condition that the area is small. For now, two lasers are used commonly in France for this indication. The brake seems to be more financially (on the order of 1,000? Against 90 for the laser? The meeting for the phosphatidylcholine, or 450? The 5 sessions) but the use of this technique is really a case by case and according patient preferences (edema, local anesthesia, number of sessions, etc..).
