SmoothShapes Commitment to Science

Cynosure is a recognized industry leader whose technology is strongly supported by sophisticated peer-reviewed clinical research.Research on SmoothShapes’ patented Photomology technology began in 2002 and many of the investigations have focused on validating cellulite improvement with scientific data that is more extensive than simple two dimensional photography.

Clinically Proven. Basic Science: 915 nm and 650 nm Wavelengths

Infrared absorption spectra of water (solid line) and human fat (dotted line), nothing approximate wavelengths of fat absorption maxima. (R.R. Anderson, et al. Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 38:-13-919, 2006.) The 915 nm laser is one of the four wavelengths proven to effectively liquefy fat.

1Neira, et al. have demonstrated that 650 nm wavelength "facilitates the releasing of the fat panicles, allowing the fat to go from inside to outside the cell and placing it in the interstitial space."*

Above Right Scanning electron microscopy photograph of mal adipocytes (x190). Note the round shape. The contours are regular with a grape-cluster shape. This specimen received tumescent solution.

Above Scanning electron microscopy photographs after 6 minutes of laser application (x180 and X190). No round adipocytes are seen, only liquified fat. Arrows coming out of the adipose cells.
