TLDR Fractional infrared technology is effective and safe for treating cervical laxity.
The document presents a pilot study on the use of fractional infrared technology for treating cervical laxity, involving four female patients with moderate to severe cervical laxity who had not undergone previous surgery. The study utilized three sessions with specific energy levels and pulse durations, and compared pretreatment photographs and histology with those taken on day 120. The results showed good improvement in the laxity and thickness of the cervical area without any collateral effects, and patients only experienced a little heat at the end of each pulse. The study concludes that fractional infrared technology is effective and safe for treating cervical laxity, suggesting that further research with a larger sample size is needed for significant statistical results. No commercial support was identified for this study.
