Dual-wavelength laser lipolysis treatment of lipomas: a case report.

Lipomas, which occur in 1% of the population, can be cosmetically unacceptable to patients. Excision of these benign tumors may leave visually unacceptable scars. The authors report a case of lipomas that were treated with laser lipolysis followed by digital extraction via a 1.5 mm opening thereby decreasing the risk of scarring.
