full face photorejuvenation of photodamaged skin by intense pulsed light with integrated contact cooling initial experiences in asian patients
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2002Co-Authors: Kei Negishi, Shingo Wakamatsu, Nobuharu Kushikata, Yukiko Tezuka, Yasuyo Kotani, Kyouko ShibaAbstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: For Asian skin, recent "non-ablative" skin rejuvenation techniques have become the focus of attention for darker complected patients. In our earlier research, we have shown that intense pulsed light (IPL) technology can be applied to Asian skin with a high degree of safety and efficacy. In this study, we performed full-face photorejuvenation using a new IPL Device incorporating a 560 nm filter and integrated contact cooling system for the improvement of various symptoms associated with photoaging in Asian patients. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 73 patients were treated with a series of five or more full-face treatments at 3-4 week intervals using IPL with integrated contact cooling. One month after the third and fifth treatments, the patient and the treating physicians subjectively evaluated improvement in five areas-in pigmentation, telangiectasia, fine wrinkles, skin texture, and over-all improvement. In addition, histological changes were evaluated. RESULTS: Pigmentation improvement, telangiectasia reduction, fine wrinkle reduction, smoother skin texture, and over-all improvement were evaluated according to five grades of percentage improvement. In addition, the subjective rating by the patients and the physicians was averaged, and the combined results were evaluated. After the fifth treatment, a combined rating of greater than 60% improvement was given to more than 80% of patients for pigmentation improvement, telangiectasia reduction or removal, smoother skin texture, and overall improvement. Histological evaluations showed strong staining of Type I and Type III collagen. Complications were minor and transitory, with burning sensations and erythema in only two patients. CONCLUSION: Full-face photorejuvenation for Asian patients using this Device is not only effective but is also associated with fewer post-treatment complications than other more invasive modalities. We conclude that IPL photorejuvenation can be the basis for safe and effective skin rejuvenation in Asian patients.

application of a new intense pulsed light Device in the treatment of photoaging skin in asian patients
Dermatologic Surgery, 2008Co-Authors: Yuanhong Li, Guanghui Dong, Yan Wu, John Z.s. Chen, Hongduo ChenAbstract:BACKGROUND Intense pulsed light (IPL) technology has long been used in the treatment of photoaging skin. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new IPL Device in the treatment of photoaging skin in Asian patients. METHODS One hundred fifty-two Chinese women with photoaging skin were enrolled in this open-labeled study. Subjects received four IPL treatments at 3- to 4-week intervals. Changes of photoaging were evaluated using a global evaluation, an overall self-assessment, a Mexameter, and a Corneometer. RESULTS One hundred thirty-nine of 152 patients (91.44%) experienced a score decrease of 3 or 2 grades, according to the dermatologist. One hundred thirty-six of 152 patients (89.47%) rated their overall improvement as excellent or good. The mean skin melanin index (MI) and erythema index values deceased with each session. MI on forehead and EI on cheilion decreased most significantly. Adverse effects were limited to mild pain and transient erythema. CONCLUSION IPL treatment is a safe and effective method for photoaging skin in Asian patients. Adverse effects were minimal and acceptable.

efficacy and safety of intense pulsed light in treatment of melasma in chinese patients
Dermatologic Surgery, 2008Co-Authors: Yuanhong Li, Guanghui Dong, Yan Wu, John Z.s. Chen, Yuanyuan Xu, Hongduo ChenAbstract:BACKGROUND: Melasma is commonly seen in the Asian population. Traditional therapies are less effective and may cause adverse effects. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to study the efficacy and safety of a new intense pulsed light (IPL) Device in the treatment of melasma in Chinese patients. METHODS: Eighty-nine women with melasma were enrolled in this open-labeled study. Subjects received a total of four IPL treatments at 3-week intervals. Changes in facial hyperpigmentation and telangiectasis were evaluated using an objective, skin colorimeter (Mexameter, Courage & Khazaka), the melasma area and severity index (MASI), and a global evaluation by the patients and blind investigators. RESULTS: Sixty-nine of 89 patients (77.5%) obtained 51% to 100% improvement, according to the overall evaluation by dermatologists. Self-assessment by the patients indicated that 63 of 89 patients (70.8) considered more than 50% or more improvement. Mean MASI scores decreased substantially from 15.2 to 4.5. Mexameter results demonstrated a significant decrease in the degree of pigmentation and erythema beneath the melasma lesions. Patients with the epidermal-type melasma responded better to treatment than the mixed type. Adverse actions were minimal. CONCLUSION: IPL treatment is a good option for patients with melasma. Adverse actions of IPL were minimal and acceptable.
