Complex application of radiofrequency liposuction and neodymium laser in correction of local excess deposits in the shoulder area

Abstract

Relevance. Treatment of the upper arms is associated with certain difficulties, since soft tissues are not connected with the underlying supporting structures, are often thin and do not have a large amount of fat. In this regard, the comprehensive use of laser therapy in the early postoperative period is promising, which will help improve the quality characteristics of the skin, and therefore achieve a better aesthetic result. The choice of a set of methods for the rehabilitation of such patients, according to the literature, is very wide, but despite the variety of methods, at present, there is no consensus on the optimal method of restorative therapy in patients who have undergone liposuction, which determined the relevance of this study.

Material and methods. We observed 29 patients aged 35 to 45 years. Patients were divided into groups: Group 1 – RF liposuction was performed, Group 2 – RF liposuction and Nd: YAG laser therapy.

Results of the study. The data of the comparative analysis of 2 variants of restorative treatment of local fat deposits of the shoulders revealed the high efficiency of radiofrequency liposuction, and also substantiated the appointment of laser therapy after liposuction, which contributed to the increase in efficiency in relation to obtaining the most acceptable aesthetic result.
