MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings?
Response: The study was designed to evaluate at multiple sites the effects on submental fat of a 1060nm diode laser treatment which was already FDA cleared for non-invasive lipolysis of the abdomen, flanks, back, inner and outer thighs. A total of 19 volunteers were treated at our study site with typically two 25 minute treatments. There was a 12 week follow-up period after treatment and photography (both 2D and 3D) was used to evaluate with expert physician grader along with other 3D analytics and a subject satisfaction questionnaire.
The main findings were reduction in submental fat both from the expert grader and as well as the 3D metrics. The 3D metrics also showed a lifting effect. The study volunteers reported a ‘satisfied’ or ‘extremely satisfied’ score from the subject assessments.
