What Is Fiber 1470? A Laser Treatment That Targets Fat and Skin Tightening
As a plastic surgeon, he has experienced many cases and has developed precise techniques and a deep anatomical understanding. Currently, combining his knowledge of plastic surgery with the latest technology, he provides a wide range of cosmetic treatments for skin, contouring, sagging, and other concerns of aging. He has also shared the responsibility of writing Japan's first textbook on gynecological cosmetic surgery, "Basic Techniques of Gynecological Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery. From her experience as an idol during medical school, she realized that "natural beauty" goes beyond the will to choose how you want to be, and she focuses on supporting her patients to "love yourself more every day". We are English-speaking and value counseling that is easy to talk to.
I'm concerned not only about the bulk caused by fat, but also about sagging skin.
"Fiber 1470" offers a new solution to these concerns.
This procedure involves inserting a thin laser fiber under the skin to target fat and tighten the skin, offering a non-surgical alternative to traditional surgical procedures that involve large incisions.
The Fiber 1470, which BIANCA CLINIC also plans to introduce.
In this article, we’ll discuss in detail how it works, the expected results, and the downtime involved.
What is Fiber 1470?
Fiber 1470 is a treatment that uses a 1470-nm diode laser delivered through a thin optical fiber to the subcutaneous layer, with the goal of targeting fat and tightening the skin.
I want to improve the contours of my face and body, but I'm hesitant about undergoing major surgery.
If that sounds like you, you'll want to learn about "Fiber 1470."
A thin laser fiber is inserted under the skin to deliver thermal energy from the inside, targeting both fat and skin.
BIANCA CLINIC has introduced diode laser treatments using LipoLife.
In this article, I’ll discuss how this treatment works to achieve skin tightening, as well as its expected benefits, key features, and downtime.
What is Fiber 1470? A treatment that uses a 1470 nm diode laser
Fiber 1470 is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers laser energy from inside the skin.
Most cosmetic lasers deliver light from the skin's surface.
On the other hand, a key feature of Fiber 1470 is that it involves inserting a thin optical fiber under the skin to deliver laser energy.
By delivering thermal energy directly to the subcutaneous tissue, this treatment aims to target fat and tighten the tissues that support the skin.
What is a 1470 nm diode laser?
A diode laser is a type of laser that uses a semiconductor to generate light.
The 1470 nm wavelength used in Fiber 1470 is easily absorbed by the water present in tissue.
This mechanism utilizes this property to apply heat to the subcutaneous tissue, thereby targeting fat tissue and promoting the contraction of tissues containing collagen.
| Item | Features of Fiber 1470 |
|---|---|
| Types of Lasers | 1470 nm diode laser |
| Irradiation Method | Inserting a thin optical fiber under the skin |
| Effects on Fat | Acts on adipose tissue through heat |
| Effects on the Skin | Promotes tissue contraction and collagen remodeling |
| How Change Manifests Itself | We expect immediate firming effects, followed by changes over time. |
In other words, one of the key features of this treatment is that it not only tightens the skin’s surface but also addresses the issue from within the subcutaneous tissue.
What benefits can you expect from Fiber 1470?
With Fiber 1470, two main effects are expected: fat reduction and skin tightening.
Approaches to Adipose Tissue
The thermal energy from the laser, delivered beneath the skin, acts on the fatty tissue to achieve localized volume changes.
However, fat loss is not guaranteed, and results may vary from person to person depending on the initial amount of fat and the condition of the tissue.
Skin tightening
The heat from the laser also affects tissues containing collagen.
In addition to tissue contraction caused by heat, this process may lead to firmer, tighter skin through the subsequent restructuring of collagen.
A unique feature of Fiber 1470 is that it not only reduces fat volume but also tightens the skin at the same time.
Features and Downtime of Fiber 1470
Fiber 1470 is not a surgical procedure that involves making a large incision in the skin.
A small incision is made to insert a thin laser fiber, but the procedure does not involve surgical excision or large incisions, and aims for a natural-looking result.
Another key feature is that it may result in less downtime compared to surgical procedures that involve incisions.
In addition, while you may feel a tightening effect immediately after the treatment, changes may also become apparent over time.
However, that doesn't mean there is absolutely no downtime.
After the procedure, redness, swelling, pain, and bruising may occur, and you should also be cautious of burns and nerve damage.
Since the severity of symptoms and the time required for recovery vary from person to person, it is important to allow plenty of time in your schedule when considering treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fiber 1470
Here, we answer common questions from patients about Fiber 1470, including how the treatment works, how results become apparent, and downtime.
Q. Does the Fiber 1470 procedure involve cutting the skin?
A. It is not a surgical procedure that involves a large incision.
However, since the laser fiber is inserted under the skin, a small entry point is required.
It’s also important to understand that this procedure can cause skin damage.
Q. Can you feel the effects of Fiber 1470 immediately after the treatment?
A. You may feel your skin tightening immediately after the treatment.
On the other hand, since organizational change can take time, the way results manifest and their extent vary from person to person.
Q. How long is the downtime for Fiber 1470?
A. While this procedure is expected to involve relatively little downtime, swelling, redness, and bruising may occur.
Since the recovery period varies depending on the treatment conditions and the individual’s physical constitution, it is not possible to say definitively how many days it will take to recover.
Achieve a Natural, Toned Look with Fiber 1470
Fiber 1470 is a treatment that uses a 1470-nm diode laser to target both fat and skin.
A key feature of this method is that it allows for natural changes in facial contours without the need for surgical procedures involving large incisions.
However, even if you want to tighten your skin, the appropriate approach will vary depending on whether the issue is caused by fat or sagging skin.
BIANCA CLINIC in Tokyo plans to introduce the Fiber 1470 as a new treatment option.
We also offer other treatments for sagging skin besides Fiber 1470. If you're concerned about sagging or loose skin, please feel free to consult with us.
