The use of low-level laser therapy for noninvasive body contouring

Abstract

A well-established faction of photomedicine is the use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which yields a valuable response without generating a photothermal or photoacoustic means. LLLT is categorized by two distinctive phases: (1) a primary phase that describes the absorption of light energy by a photoabsorbing molecule and (2) a secondary phase that is characterized by a biological cascade responsible for beneficial clinical results. Noninvasive body contouring is discussed.
