ABSTRACT

Background: The Endolaser technique is widely used for different aesthetic disorders due to its excellent response in lipolysis and tissue retraction. The 980 nm and 1,470 nm wavelengths can be used either individually or in combination, a technique named dual-wave. Objective: This article aimed to describe the principles that guide the choice of wavelengths considered safe and effective for using subdermal Endolaser in the treatment of aesthetic disorders. Material and methods: This study is characterized by exploratory research, presented through a narrative review to highlight the principles and criteria for the choice of wavelengths considered safe and effective for the performance of the Endolaser technique used in the treatment of aesthetic disorders. Results: The use of two wavelengths in combination has great support in the literature for tissue resection, especially in surgical procedures adopting high doses of energy. Based on the few published reports on the use of dual-wave equipment for endolaser, especially in aesthetic treatments, it is not possible to state that this is the best choice for these treatments, as we have not found any comparative studies that can support its use to the detriment of the many procedures using only a single wavelength (980 nm or 147nm) that have already been published. Therefore, it is prudent to still believe that the isolated use of a single wavelength is the best therapeutic option regarding diode laser in aesthetic procedures, since there are a greater number of published protocols that can be reproduced in outpatient procedures. Conclusion: We concluded that it is still premature to state that the use of endolaser with two associated wavelengths for the treatment of outpatient aesthetic dysfunctions is much better than the use of only a single wavelength (980 nm or 1,470 nm), since we have not found any specific comparative studies that reinforce this way of thinking.
