Lipoma removal through laser lipolysis - Is it safe?

December 28, 2024
Asked By:Milann19 in Winter Park, Florida

I am a 51 y/o female, and have lipomas developing on arms and thighs for the last 5 years. I have had two large ones surgically removed through my dermatologist, each about 2 inch x 2 inches. They have not grown back but I am frustrated as I keep growing new ones. I read the 2022 study about using laser lipolysis to remove individual lipomas. The study is "Lipoma management with a minimally invasive 1,444 nm Nd:YAG laser technique" by Piccolo. Who is doing this in Orlando? Safe?
