Objectives: The authors present their experience with adipose transfer for regenerative purposes, in combination with the use of laser technologies on the recipient area, aiming to enhance the regenerative capabilities of the transferred stem cell components.
Introduction: International literature and experience gained through the use of various equipment to pretreat the recipient skin before the transfer of autologous adipose tissue have demonstrated that this technique contributes to better clinical outcomes. Additionally, in treating skin areas affected by various pathologies, the regenerative action has shown improvement. The authors present their own method of skin pretreatment performed a few hours before the injection of regenerative adipose tissue.
Materials / method: The study used a fat transfer method based on the SEFFI procedure and portable dual simultaneous wavelength fractional laser technology (1550 nm and 1927 nm) for stimulation. For facial areas, 24 hours before the adipose tissue injection, after applying a lidocaine-based anesthetic cream for about 30 minutes, the skin is treated with a dual-wavelength laser using variable powers ranging from 15 to 25 mJ for the 1550 nm wavelength and 0 to 4 mJ for the 1927 nm wavelength, depending on the patient’s skin type. The treatment density is adjusted according to the area’s size. The treatment should b
Results: The authors present their results through case studies and discuss the indications, contraindications, and complications.
Conclusion: The authors illustrate how this method of pretreating recipient tissues enhances and improves the regenerative effect of the vascular stromal component contained in the transferred adipose tissue.
