Nonablative treatment of rhytids with intense pulsed light.

摘要: Background and Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy complication rate a nonablative nonlaser light source in treatment rhytids. Laser resurfacing, facial rhytids, has involved ablative methods, with their associated complications limitations. Rhytid improvement requires dermal collagen remodeling. Interest begun focus on use wavelengths that preserve epidermis but deliver enough energy promote rhytid improvement. Study Design/Materials Methods Thirty subjects class I–II rhytids Fitzpatrick skin types were treated up four treatments an intense pulsed source. Subjects evaluated 6 months after final treatment. Results Twenty-five showed some quality skin. No found have total resolution rhytids. Conclusion Nonlaser may effectively improve Such can occur without epidermal ablation. Lasers Surg.
