Endolaser Treatment of Aesthetic Disorders: Clinical Experience of 4 Years

Abstract

Introduction: Endolaser or Endolift, is a technique that uses a laser beam with a wavelength between 980 and 1470nm emitted through an optical fiber inserted into the subcutaneous tissue in order to tone the skin through neocollagenesis and reduce fat subcutaneous. Objective: This study aimed to describe the clinical experience of the authors after four years using the endolaser technique treating different aesthetic disorders, and to this end, it was grouped data on the most treated disorders, personal protocols and treatment results. Methodology: An exploratory research was carried out, presented in a narrative review to show the action of Endolaser used in the treatment of aesthetic disorders. The review explored scientific articles published and available in the following databases: MEDLINE (System for Analysis and Retrieval of Online Medical Literature), PubMed (National Library of Medicine), SCIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and LILACS (Latin American and of the Caribbean in Health Sciences). In addition, some clinical findings obtained through a retrospective analysis of medical records were added to describe the clinical experience of the authors in using Endolaser for treating aesthetic dysfunctions. Results: It was verified that the endolaser technique is extremely effective for reducing localized fat and skin retraction, and is characterized as an eligible procedure for face and neck, as well as for the body. Still, endolaser may be indicated for the treatment of several aesthetic disorders involving lipodystrophies and dermal disarrangement, in addition, associated with other therapeutic resources such as microfocused ultrasound, cryolipolysis, chemical peeling, intradermotherapy and others. The technique is safe and has minimal side effects. Conclusion: As a conclusion, the current popularization of Endolaser is justified by its extreme effectiveness and versatility, as well as its ease usability and minimal adverse effects, producing excellent aesthetic results in the short and medium term, and can also be used alone or associated with other therapeutic resources.
