SlimLipo™ Laser by Palomar, Information for Physicians

Laser body sculpting with continuous, dual wavelengths and specialized delivery

Use the SlimLipo lipoysis laser to treat large areas of adipose tissue, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips and buttocks without damaging surrounding areas. The SlimLipo can also treat smaller areas such as the neck and jowls.

Wavelength and Power

The SlimLipo system is used with the Aspire® Platform by Palomar. It uses a dual wavelength of 924 nm and 975 nm. The 924-nm wavelength targets normal adipose (fat) tissue without destroying connective tissue. The 975-nm wavelength targets water in the dermal layer, making it ideal for skin tightening. These wavelengths can be used in combination to destroy fat and tighten skin in one step, which can increase success rates and decrease patient recovery time. The dual wavelength allows physicians to treat more patients each day. Either wavelength can also be used alone, for example, to treat small areas such as the jowls.

The laser outputs a maximum of 40 W of power, with a 24-W model available. The laser carries a continuous (θ) pulse.

FDA Approval

The SlimLipo laser is approved by the FDA.

Delivery Mechanism

The SlimLipo workstation uses a 1.5-mm fiber, making it possible to treat large areas of fat. The delivery mechanism allows for the surgeon to select wavelengths and power levels. An aiming beam increases the precision of delivery. The tip moves easily through high fibrous areas, causing less fatigue to the physician. Interchangeable tips are available for specific treatments.

Summary

The SlimLipo laser is indicated for fat removal and skin tightening. It is ideal for treating large areas of adipose tissue that other laser lipoysis systems cannot effectively treat.
