The Cellulaze Laser is the very first and the only one in laser technology to treat cellulite effectively and permanently through a minimally invasive Laser surgical procedure.

Cellulaze Laser technology offering a light-based solution for the treatment of cellulite. The system has a solid state Nd: YAG emitting light in the 1440-nm wavelength.

Mr Ayham Al-Ayoubi explains: Effective cellulite treatment means addressing the three structural causes of cellulite:

• Fibrous septae,
• bulging pockets of fat
• and the natural thinning of the skin that occurs with aging.

Cellulaze Laser treatment employs the 1440-nm wavelength along with the proprietary Sidelight 3D™ fiber, which directs laser energy precisely where needed to achieve long-lasting, effective results.

With the laser energy directed upward, the skin is slightly heated coagulating the collagen and stimulating a growth of new collagen. Turn the handpiece ninety degrees, and the laser thermally subcises the septal bands that pull down the skin creating the dimpling effect. Rotate the handpiece another ninety degrees and the laser energy disrupts the bulging pockets of fat.

The Cellulaze system also supports two intelligent delivery system technologies: SmartSense™ and ThermaGuide™.

SmartSense SmartSense The motion-sensing Cellulaze handpiece is equipped with an advanced microchip, or accelerometer, that is inserted into the handpiece.

Based on the setting and the motion of the handpiece, precise laser power is metered and delivered.

ThermaGuide

The ThermaGuide temperature sensing cannula has a thermistor near the treatment tip of the fiber that profiles temperature subdermally near the treatment site. This information is relayed back to the laser.

The laser, in turn, has two user selectable temperature settings—a treatment (Rx) limit and a high (Hi) temperature limit. During the laser procedure, if the laser detects that the subdermal temperature reaches the Rx limit, the laser will stop emitting energy until the cannula is moved to another treatment area (cooler than the Rx limit).

If the high (Hi) temperature limit is reached during treatment, the laser stops and instructs the user to take measures to immediately cool the treatment area. Once the laser error has been cleared, lasing can resume in another treatment area (cooler than the Rx limit).

Cellulaze treatment is the only minimally-invasive procedure available today for improving the appearance of cellulite. The science behind this innovation is a pulsed Nd:YAG 1440-nm wavelength along with the proprietary Sidelight fiber.

The Sidelight fiber design allows targeted bi-directional treatment to the three structural issues that cause cellulite underneath the skin. This combination of Sidelight design and the 1440nm wavelength increase the dermal layer by effectively stimulating the hypodermal junction to produce collagen. The 1440-nm wavelength has a high affinity for water, See Figure 2, increasing collagen growth and remodeling for thicker, more healthy-looking skin.

A thorough history of previous treatment methods, current medications, allergies and pigmentary problems should be discussed before treatment. The following clinical protocol is based on methods in current clinical use. It does not substitute for the clinical judgment of individual patient needs.

Patient selection criterion is a patient presenting with cellulite grades 2 and 3.

Patient selection exclusion criterion includes, but is not confined to patients with:

• Unrealistic expectations of procedure results
• A history of postsurgical noncompliance

SmartSense The motion-sensing Cellulaze handpiece is equipped with an advanced microchip, or accelerometer, that is inserted into the handpiece.

Based on the setting and the motion of the handpiece, precise laser power is metered and delivered. If handpiece motion ceases, the laser stops firing to prevent overexposure, but remains ready and resumes firing when the handpiece is set in motion again

If the high (Hi) temperature limit is reached during treatment, the laser stops and instructs the user to take measures to immediately cool the treatment area. Once the laser error has been cleared, lasing can resume in another treatment area (cooler than the Rx limit).

An optional audible tone can be set for both alarms to further aid in profiling subdermal temperature while treating.

Adverse effects can include bleeding, infection, scarring, skin and fat tissue necrosis, skin contour irregularities, skin discoloration purpura, asymmetry, surgical shock, pulmonary complications, aesthesia, skin loss, hair loss at treatment area, seroma, allergic reaction, and anesthesia-related complications.

• Have an active localized or systemic infection, or an open wound in area being treated
• Have a significant systemic illness or an illness localized in area being treated
• Have had recent abdominal surgery or have disorders of the lower abdomen (e.g., hernia,ulcerative colitis, etc.)
• Have had recent surgery or disorder of area being treated
• Have a history of thrombophlebitis
• Have a history of heart failure or kidney disease
• Have a history of intolerance to anesthesia
• Have a history of poor wound healing
• Have a history of poor circulation
• Have a systemic autoimmune disease known to cause hypersensitivity to sunlight and to impair wound healing.
• Have a history of keloid formation
• Are pregnant or have been pregnant recently
