Does the 1540 fractional laser cause fat or volume loss?

I’d recommend a formal evaluation with your doctor to address your concerns and discuss your desired outcome. Typically, these lasers don’t go deep enough to cause injury to the deeper layers of the skin. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

the 1540 nm laser can cause skin tightening but does not go deep enough to kill fat. Tightening is through collagen contraction and remodeling.

The Palomar 1540 laser is fractional non-ablative laser designed to improve skin texture, scars and stretch marks. The laser energy triggers the body's own healing reaction so that collagen and elastin production is stimulated. You can rest assured it does not cause fat or volume loss because if it did the laser company would be busy marketing it as a fat loss device, which it is not. Best, Dr. Tkatch.
