ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>Cellulite is a consequence of alterations that develop in the lymphatic system and lead to an accumulation of substances in subcutaneous tissue, in particular in the cellular interstice. These alterations may be influenced by hormones or by any other mechanism that predisposes the individual to an accumulation of fluids and other substances in the cellular interstice.<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong> To determine the therapeutic efficiency of Gallium Arsenide Low Level Laser Therapy on cellulite after liposuction.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods:<\/strong> Thirty Female patients had cellulite in their thigh after liposuctions were assigned into two equal groups: Group A consisted of 15 females with received Gallium Arsenide Low Level Laser Therapy (wavelength 904 nm, 30 minutes session, 2 times per week for 6 weeks). Group B consisted of 15 females who have liposuction only. Cellulite grading scale and skin fat caliper was measured for each patient before and after treatment.<\/p>\n

Results: <\/strong>T-test revealed that there was a significant difference (p= 0.0000) between experimental and control group in skin fold (mm) post treatment. T-test revealed that there was significant difference (p= 0.0000) between experimental and control group in cellulite grading scale post treatment.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> Gallium Arsenide Low Level Laser Therapy is efficient for cellulite reduction after liposuction.<\/p>\n

Key word: <\/strong>Cellulite, Liposuction, Low Level Laser, Gallium Arsenide, Skin Fold Caliper, Cellulite Grading Scale.<\/p>\n
