RECRUITING
Minimally Invasive Active Release of Septa Bands for Cellulite and Connective Tissue Release for Fibrosis Treatment in Body Contouring Surgery
Description

This prospective study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AVELI for reducing cellulite and fibrotic tissue in patients undergoing High-Definition Liposculpture, exploring if AVELI improves the aesthetic outcomes, and reduced the clinically evident cellulite and/or fibrosis. The main questions this study seeks to answer are: * Does AVELI safely reduce cellulite and fibrotic tissue without causing serious adverse events? * How effective is AVELI in improving patient-reported outcomes and aesthetic appearance? Through this study, the study team aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AVELI. The study procedures include: * Baseline data collection of sociodemographic variables. Data collection of surgical variables, adverse events, and satisfaction scores. * All patients will undergo the standardized High-Definition Liposculpture technique, with AVELI applied to all identified cellulite and/or fibrosis release. * Photographic and 3D imaging preoperatively and at follow-ups (1, 3, 6, and 9 months).

Description

Multi-center, three-arm, randomized, evaluator-blinded study of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and/or 1064 nm diode laser, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and vacuum assisted radio frequency (RF) using the Venus Bliss Max for fat reduction, body contouring and aesthetic improvement.

COMPLETED
Effects of Green Light Therapy on Body Contouring and Cellulite
Description

A double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized evaluation of the effect of Cellulize, a green light low level laser system for aesthetic use for the non-invasive reduction in fat layer for body contouring and reduction of cellulite.

Effects of Red Light LED Therapy on Body Contouring
Description

Red light laser therapy using 635nm red light laser technology has previously been shown to cause lipolysis in subcutaneous fat as a non-surgical method to promote weight loss and body contouring. This study hypothesizes that red LED light therapy using 650nm red light LED (light emitting diode) technology produces similar results to the laser device (red LASER 635nm) when preformed using a specified treatment protocol.

COMPLETED
Effects of Red Light LED Therapy on Body Contouring
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether red light therapy using LED 650nm red light for body contouring of the waist, hips and thighs is as effective as red light therapy using Laser 635nm red light.

Study of Over-The-Counter Use of Low Level Laser Light Therapy for Body Contouring of the Waist, Hips and Thighs
Description

The purpose of this study is to test the ability of the lay end user to understand the information contained in the User's Guide; to correctly identify patients who are suitably qualified to receive treatment; and to correctly administer the treatment with the Erchonia ZERONA® Z6 for circumference reduction of the waist, hips and thighs in an over-the-counter setting.

PEMF Effects on Pain After Abdominal Body Contouring
Description

Body contouring surgery has a higher potential for postoperative pain and wound healing complications. The purpose of this study is to determine if pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) devices can reduce the pain and complications associated with this type of surgery. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) devices have been shown to be effective treatments to decrease healing time in nonunion fractures and pressure ulcers, and to reduce pain in whiplash injuries, persistent neck pain, and chronic lower back pain. These devices have been FDA approved for treatment of pain and edema (510(k) number: K070541). More recently, PEMF devices have been shown to decrease postoperative pain and narcotic use in breast augmentation patients. This study seeks to determine if PEMF will also cause similar effects in the more complex procedures performed on body contouring patients. The specific aims of this study are: 1. Evaluate if adjunct PEMF therapy will accelerate the rate of postoperative pain reduction in abdominal body contouring patients. 2. Evaluate if adjunct PEMF therapy will decrease the postoperative use of narcotic pain relievers in abdominal body contouring patients. PEMF devices have been shown to be effective in reduction of pain and pain medication use in breast augmentation patients. No literature has shown if PEMF is an effective adjunct to decrease pain or pain medication use in the abdominal body contouring patient. A decrease in pain would result in a better experience for patients and a reduction in pain medication may decrease complications associated with these medications. The PEMF therapy device being used in this study is a non-significant risk device because it is noninvasive and does not present a potential for serious risk to the health, safety, or welfare of a subject.

White Light Scanning to Aid Body Contouring: A Pilot Project
Description

A white light scanner can more accurately measure body contouring subjects than standard anthropomorphic methods.

COMPLETED
Study of Low Level Laser Therapy for Body Contouring
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether green diode low level laser therapy is effective for body contouring of the waist, hips and thighs.

Wound Repair and Body Contouring Surgery After Gastric Bypass
Description

The primary aim of our study is to test the hypothesis that wound healing is impaired in the patient who has experienced massive weight reduction following gastric bypass for morbid obesity. Specifically we will document post-surgical local complications and evaluate multiple wound healing parameters in two patient populations in a prospective fashion. The test group will consist of patients who have undergone dramatic weight loss and are much in need of a panniculectomy due to excessive skin redundancy. The control group will consist of patients within normal weight ranges who are seeking an abdominoplasty.
