New FDA Approved Erchonia Laser Revolutionizes Liposuction
The new FDA-Approved Erchonia Laser used during liposuction offers patients tremendous benefits, and will revolutionize the procedure, making liposuction as close to a no down time cosmetic surgical procedure as there is. Dr. Fredric Stern, a Bellevue, Washington cosmetic surgeon is the first surgeon in the Puget Sound area to perform laser assisted liposuction with this new laser.
Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) April 23, 2005 -- The Stern Center for Aesthetic
Surgery, PC, a Bellevue based practice focused on staying on the cutting edge of
new cosmetic surgery advances announced their use of the new Erchonia laser
during liposuction.
The Stern Center for Aesthetic Surgery, PC, led by
Dr. Fredric A. Stern, uses the Erchonia 4L™ laser, the first and only low-level
laser approved by the FDA for use during liposuction. The painless laser
treatment is administered a few minutes prior to liposuction, and works by
liquefying the fat. As a result, fat removal is made easier and quicker, and
there is less post-op pain and bruising, with a speedier recovery time. Less
pain medication is required for this procedure compared to traditional
liposuction methods.
The FDA approved the laser based on the results of
an IRB approved, multi-center, double blind randomized study. The comparison
between the actively treated patients and the placebo-treated patients resulted
in an impressive difference between groups in the emulsification of fat, ease of
extraction, amount of swelling, and degree of pain.
“Use of the Erchonia
laser during liposuction offers our patients tremendous benefits, and will
revolutionize the procedure, making liposuction as close to a no down time
cosmetic surgical procedure as there is. We are excited to incorporate this new
FDA approved device into our practice,” states Dr. Stern.
Dr. Fredric A.
Stern has been in practice since 1987, and established The Stern Center for
Aesthetic Surgery, PC, in Bellevue in 1997. Erchonia was founded in 1996 and is
dedicated to advancing the science of health through the development of superior
bio-medical laser products.
