Laser For Disruption Of Adipocyte Cells For Aesthetic Use
- Page Type
- Product Code
- Definition
- Laser intended for the disruption of adipocyte cells indicated for body contouring or reduction in circumference of body areas.
- Physical State
- The device may include up to three rectangular applicator heads with sapphire glass and dimensions of 4 cm x 6 cm. The laser may be 1064 nm and range in power density from 0.9-1.4 W/cm2.
- Technical Method
- Laser energy is delivered to the adipose tissue to elevate temperature to 42-47 C for disruption of adipocyte cells. Subsequently, the adipocyte cells release fat and lipids resulting in reduction of the adipose tissue.
- Target Area
- Areas of the body for treatment such as the flank, abdomen, thighs, waist, hips

CFR § 878.5400 Low level laser system for aesthetic use
§ 878.5400 Low level laser system for aesthetic use
(a) Identification. A Low Level Laser System for Aesthetic Use is a device using low level laser energy for the disruption of adipocyte cells within the fat layer for the release of fat and lipids from these cells for noninvasive aesthetic use.
(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Low Level Laser System for Aesthetic Use.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
